Wow Hyde, your drums look awesome! The grain is really nice. Very cool looking results!!
Paul69, if that kit can be made serviceable/tuneable, and your 6 yr old is able to play and get enjoyment out of it, I'd go for it.
Sounds like you have some of the stuff to restore it already. I was going by someone not having a clue about what would be involved. Taking off wrap is not hard, and you have the varnish which should work fine. Sanding just takes a little time. With some tension rods and a lug or two, it should be at the least serviceable.
And like I said before, if those shells aren't warped after the way they were left for all that time, no one can dog Export drums.
