Drum Projects thread

Got a thing you're working on? Did you save a drum from the dumpster only to have the most amazing glow up ever?

Here's your thread!

I'll start with this Before and AfteR:

Early 1960s Round Badge Gretsch floor tom, discovered in a music store covered with magazine photos and stickers, legs rusted, bolts used instead of t-nuts.

I have two kits I really need two work on: my first kit which is a 63 Ludwig in blue oyster and a WMP Camco I picked up at a garage sale for $100 (unfortunately did not include the 14" floor tom).
16"! If it was a 14 I'd have sold it for $1000 already. The "bop tax" is crazy.
