The museum efforts at a rebuild are noble. Hopefully they will be successful soon. The rebuild price is expected, shipping it half way around the world has risks. What is the costs of shipping. A proper crate and packaging easily doubles the size of most things shipped international for protection. Can this double the rebuild costs?

Those folks at RACS do mighty fine work. Museum rebuilding would allow for in person drop off and pickup- for faster turn around while avoiding hazards of long distance shipping. I have not shipped anything overseas for a long time, oil prices makes this even worse now.
