J1940 San Dimas King V rescued from pawn shop

[Axewielder]

I found this poor wreck of a 1986 San Dimas King V (J1940) back in 1997 for $200 in a pawn shop. I recently completed a full restoration of it, and hope you all enjoy hearing about it. If you want to read the full restoration story, it can be found here :

It's my dream to find a neglected Jackson at some pawn shop for a ridiculously low price and restore it back to its former glory
