The "so what" is that if all the metal parts walk away it will never be rebuilt. I bet if the owners were approached by a sensible and well meaning group who wanted to rebuilt the tank they might take them up on it and set something up where folks could visit the tank with a "donation". Would be a win for everyone in my book. Can't let another historic item get sent to a scrapper like what happened to the 0584. I think that is good that the owners are weary and being proactive not to have hardware disappear.
