I would be very wary of whatever critter it is that runs around in that neck of the woods that can chew up cymbals like that.
I look forward to pics of the resto process.
So, I'm guessing the honeymoon period with that WFL kit you got a while ago is over.
Nice score, just be ready with that paint thinners. :D

Heck,
Just played the WFLs on Wed nite..
I can't stop playing that darn snare...! Lolol
Ya,..looks like lots of paint..
My fav Color is orange....might just do the dew and wrap it like
An orange...
....you know...it's possible that ride cymbal might still sound pretty cool, you never know until you give it a go...just smooth the exposed jagged edges with a dremmel, but make sure you leave alone any "closed" cracks - these cracks still transmit sound waves, just differently, and hollowing them out can really kill any tone the cymbal might still have...
The tom looks 9X13 to me. really looking forward to this resto!
