Just adding to the mix here... actually posted this first in another forum section.


Hey All!

This is a one-owner 73 that has been in our family from the beginning.  I posted a few months ago about digging into a resto and I finally found time to get it done!  Using the tips and tricks from WKC, I brought him back to life and I am quite happy.  I even got the gorgeous handle from the link here and it is the crowning piece to the project!

Legs, ash pan, bowl, lid and wheels where all worked on.

Tex lives on and will be in the cook rotation now.

Cheers All!

This beautiful Red Mist had a rash so bad it looked like it kissed the wall in turn 2 at Talladega.

Had to custom blend some high temp ceramic paint...but she is righteous again!

I found this '78 blue on CL in CA. It was a lot more rough than I thought once I took delivery.













I bought some replacement vents, drilled out old rivets, steel wooled forever and ended up with this for phase I.













For phase II I'm going to redo the handle, replace the wheels, and shine the legs, pan, top vent and triangle.

Nicely done Rub! I love that deep, rich blue.

Awesome paint match on that lid Mike. Looks OEM. And Rub, man that looks like you went from standard def to HD. The blue just pops after the 0000 treatment. Well done fellas

I just got a brand spanking new blue lid, and it was ever so slightly out of round, so I squeezed  it just a little bit and got it perfectly round. Unfortunately it cracked just like the lines on the top picture here! I'm so mad at myself for doing that, I didn't realize the colored ones crack like that. Can anything be done about it? Were you able to fix that too?
