Help a newbie- I want to re-work some shells Last viewed: 13 seconds ago

Posts: 2 Threads: 1

I've been reading all the restoration threads, and it's made me want to try a resto myself. I'm 54, and played guitar all my life, but I've started playing drums for the last 6 months. I love to work with my hands, I've put together several guitars, and sprayed nitro laquer on probably 25, so I'm good at finish work, and average on woodwork. I'm looking at these shells on eBay

Are they worth a resto? Thanks in advance for any advise.

Welcome to VDF glad to have you. Restoring is lot of fun but can get very expensive when you have to buy a lot of missing parts. Those being concert toms makes the deal not so good, unless thats what you want. I would want much more info and many more pics to make the decision. I would rather find something on craigs list that you can go see and inspect in person. I would not buy those. Wait for a better deal to come around. Good luck!


Thank you!

Ohhhhh. Not for that price.

Go with what Jeff said and wait.

Thanks for the quick reply Jeff. I've seen your work in the resto threads, you're a true artisan. I've searched CL for the last 3 months, but I live in Pensacola, Fl, and you just don't see that stuff down here, which is why I'm watching eBay. I don't want concert, but wondered if they could be converted. I really want >22" BD. This is the other set I'm watching.

Thoughts?
