Dear Guy, Just how frozen is frozen? How do the substantive joints and the rim look? It may be that the most charitable thing to do is to put the poor thing out of it's misery. On the other hand, I once got an old NY "C" (literally) in a bunch of boxes, and looking very much like a TinkerToy set. The victim of a home rebuild, done by someone following a "howto" book that is occasionally mentioned on the list. Took two years of "spare" time. Nice, but... As has been asked in re: other similar projects here: "Just how much grief do you need?" Best, and good luck!
