So....I bought this Gold Crown II for $100., It was rough but complete minus the corner castings $125, ball box (which I don't have yet and the cloth $229, I got a good deal... and about $75 in supplies, so I guess about $530 and 40 man hours. Rails are original superspeeds I put the "brushed" finish on the feet with a drill and some poly to protect. The skirts and legs stripped put on a sanding primer and black oil based finish with 6 coats of poly wet sanding up to 2000 grit to finish it feels like glass...I stained the maple highlights the "natural" color.
I was very nervous and spent a couple days leveling and took my time with the bondo, it's dead flat and level.
I know I know should have posted pics before and during the restoration process but here it is, gimmie some feedback let me know what you think its worth and Thank you RKC and everyone else on this wonderful tool of a forum for your invaluable help!!!!
