I did the same as kizer, I felt a little pang of guilt for that 41 yr old strips and wood, but they were rusty, and the wood was rotten.
before you even think about the time and effort to repair (sand ,straighten , weld, bondo,paint) the old strips, just buy a new set. much cheaper in the long run.
