I would just do the "diy" fixes on the B&B lugs and leave the drum as it is. Who cares about the lugs really so long as they work. BTW I did score a 1968 Rogers kit myself recently. Only the wrap needs some attention.
Here is what I did for my old Ludwig kit:
1. Cleaned with simple green
2. Used some automotive rubbing compound where needed
3. Used some liquid carnuba wax
Gave me awesome results. You could also do the full wet sand approach. Same as you would do to fix a dull car paint.
Your Rogers kit is stunning! Congrats brother.
And I just looked up a video demo of that rubbing compound and it looks like just what I need, thank you! I'd try to wet sand them but I don't think I could pull that off without making things worst.
Good Stuff....Covington is much closer to Dayton than It is to Cleveland, so some suit must have been looking to save on shipping and where housing or maybe labor rates. I was born and raised in Cleveland and graduated from OSU, so there is a link here.
So this link seems to be a very valid reason....one my wife will surely understand....to acquire a Rogers kit and restore it.
That's definitely a valid reason, if I've ever heard one!
