I showed you guys this shell a long while back. Today I finally polished all the hardware. Put it together just to get some pics to show you guys. I am putting this snare together to sell more than likely. I ran into a few issues. When I was putting on my last lug it would not go into the hole. This was the last lug right before the seem. As I gave it a look the wrap was over just less than half of the hole which was just enough to stop the lug from going into it. I had no problems at all with any of the other lugs. So my first question is do I pull back the wrap and try to stretch it further so the holes line up or do I cut a little off where the hole is?

My next issue is the rims. They are bent up a bit. Looks like the bottom one is worse than the top. Should I buy new/used ones for it or can I get these fixed somehow.

Issue 3 is the throw off. You may have noticed it is not on the shell. I posted a pic to show you the problem with it. Any advice on fixing this?

Overall I am probably selling this shell. What do you guys think it is worth like this? Obviously I would make more with it all together but what is the difference in price with it fully restored compared to as is?

Thanks VDF
