Theoretically speaking, we could take two of the Monte Vista cars, nail the doors shut, and strip all the good hardware, and swap them. We are -desperately- short of door hardware. The last set we have is slated for the next stealth rider re-conversion from P-Box.
And we could put some of those wood blocks in the journal boxes in place of brasses. We could fabricate wooden (or sheet metal) journal box covers, as we are out of them as well. We could take everything underneath of both sets of cars, since it really doesn't contribute to display value.
The tribe would still be better off for it. Maybe they would pay for the trucking in order to get the replacements.
