This is from a '69, but is an original that has just been cleaned.  Might help you get an idea of the "look".

A couple of more examples - nortice that most of the originals still show some rust coloration

A poor picture of a NOS top loader still in crate

The sad thing it's hard to find someone around this area to restore to the original state.

Yes you would have to ship it and if you do that might as well have it disassembled and rebuilt during the process.

You can do it - just takes time
