In the end, is always your call on a project like this.
Do you want it for show, sale, or to use.
I, for one, would not hesitate to restore that deck for my own use.
That being said....
Last year I re$tored a 44A for my own use and I'm glad I did as it cut$ near perfect.
On the other hand, when it was fini$hed It would have been, and was for a while, a great attachment to display for/at a show, but....
I really doubt I could have gotten what I spent in parts, paint etc, not to mention my own time, had I wished to sell it.
This hobby or affliction if you may, for many of us really is a labor of love.
