Thank you so much for the welcome and the super quick replies. I'm excited about bringing this one to life now. michaelmilitello, DaveG74, Cellar2ful, and kettlebb, your advice, info, and links are super helpful. kettlebb, you mention not trying to paint the chips. I'm worried about the rust; should I just leave it like that or is there a way to take care of the rust? Again, as a new collector, I'm worried about doing to much and ruin its collectable appeal. Also, for everyone, do I paint the inside with high heat paint or something, some of the enamel is chipped off. Much appreciated!
