I would be interested in buying original wet prints. The image quality from those old cameras is very special.
Too bad we live on opposite ends of the country. I would hire you to take pics of my truck.
When I have time, I can print it for you. Because this is a large format negative (8x10), I can only do contact print on photo-paper (no enlargement). PM me your address. Best
 
I have almost (I think - 90%) whole picture now..
Water was collected over time in two cylinders and in push rods aria. Valve lifter was rusted and block timing gear as well as rust in two pistons also block crankshaft. Because engine is tilted back, you can see how push rods is rusted from 2-3 to 12.

The frame actually better than I thought it would be. Right C-rail is very solid and has rust only on the surface, except a very end.
Left rail has solid wall and top but bottom part rust and thin (shown in red).. inside plate has crack (see in blue)
