Those look beautiful. Can't wait to see them polished up.

I'm sure there's lots of guys here who have those 2-bolt rail/consolett mounts, but here's a lead on eBay (not my listing):

WOOT!

You know, I don't think I've ever seen an entire 'Gracy' kit. I've owned a couple nice orphan floor toms, but never an entire kit. The floor toms were great quality for MIJ's. One was a badly faded gold sparkle, the other a gorgeous red diamond pearl.

Nice find!
