Why another thread forking in the process? FBinNY was already getting started with helping out?
I agree with both...but also look at the bottom the shell (the underside) for any evidence that screws or rivets were put in for some reasons or another...chain guards, wire minders...kinda doubt it but you never know.
Having said that, please don't "fork" threads...stick around in the original and be patient.
