I started a '58/'59 Transitional Ludwig Super Classic restoration.

I think this is a Buddy Rich model.

WMP shell is about 5.35"×14" (Not 5.5"!) and still beautiful!

Shell, strainer, lugs are so-so condition.

However,

- Missing a NOB batter hoop

- Bottom re-ring is started to crack(I'm thinking to bring a drum shop)

- Not original tension rods (original rods are 2 1/4 or 2)?

I need your advices. Group Hug

1. How much does it cost to finish the project?

2. What is the best shell cleaner(GROOVE JUICE Shell Shine)?

3. Any other advices?

Thanks,
