[quote user="cascadenorthernrr"]Then I want to point out that she has been sitting there rusting away, my opinion is the museums have had their chance to rescue her.[/quote] It is now under new ownership.  These things take time.  It is not something that happens overnight.  You have demonstrated the lack of understanding of the preservation community.  They will fight you tooth and nail to prevent what you are trying to do.  [quote user="cascadenorthernrr"]And anyway I would like to say this is America so if I buy it its my business what I do with it.[/quote] In your hypothetical dream world, yes.  In reality, which is what Tom was trying to give you a solid dose of, these artifacts dont belong to you.  You cannot walk up to someone and demand they sell things to you.  This is America.  [quote user="ACY"]3. Your last point illustrates that your goal never was preservation at all. Your goal is and always has been the selfish motive of sole ownership. Conversion to a private car is probably an impossibility. If it is possible. it would involve removal of the historical texture of the artifact. No serious preservationist would agree to participate in such a travesty as making it into a very expensive, historically destroyed cabin. [/quote] These are my thoughts exactly.
