So you were the winner of that prize SC huh? That is going to take a TON of work! Should be a great project! It was supposedly stuck under a bulkhead in a storm in FLA, then hauled up to CC. It used to have an older Hermco on the back.

When I looked at it, the easiest way I figured to rebuild that rail was to pop the cap and mold up right on there. Then bodywork the heck out of it after you flip it back over.
You located on cape?

That old girl has seen some better days. I think you'll bring her back to life though. Good luck, nice project.
