The cost of a CMP restoration

[Rob Fast]

Yes , we all love our hobby and the satisfaction we get out of bringing back to life a piece of military history. I think most of us probably struggle with the amount of money it takes to bring a rust bucket wreck back to parade condition, not to speak of the rising cost of fuel, insurance,etc.. Our steel bill for our LAAT box restoration from a friend of mine in the steel business was $2300.00. Yes the price of steel is up big time. My question is what are other restoration clubs out there getting from parade/cities for showing up for the day, considering transportation and fuel. And what is steel scrap worth in your part of the world. Here in Canada $100.00 a ton. Cheers Rob
