Picked the Chariot up today from the metal finishing place.  Look any different?







Don't want to mess up the paint on the wheels so for now I Mrs. Cellar2ful and I carry it whenever it needs to be moved. (lol)

Here it is when I found it.

Beautiful all done up. This is my #1. If this was mine, I would change out the lid handle. That is it.

[Cellar2ful]

@greenweb - What, you don't like that custom broken handle? (lol) A new replacement handle is in the works. @Shaun has a two screw handle for me that I am going to paint lime green.  Just have not been able to meet up and get it from him. I was just so happy with the way it turned out I couldn't wait to post a picture.

I've been trying to source some wheel rubber for those larger wheels. I've been searching for bulk rolls for patio or garden carts. No luck so far. I should call the folks that restored my Seville to see if they might have any ideas.

I love the looks of the chariot cart. Nice find and restore you have there. Maybe ypu can get a long automotive fan belt to glue on the wheels so you can at least roll it. Awesome RRR!

Excellent job on the cart. It looks fantastic.

[Bertl]

Wow yes, that is what we want to see!
RESPECT

Man. With how nice that cart turned out, I would be real tempted to get the kettle done in high heat powder coat and then just use it for a smoker. That's awesome. Congrats

Love it!  Congrats on the amazing restoration!

[Cellar2ful]

Have to give a huge shout out to @Bertl and @Jeff for the reproduction uncut ash pan on this Chariot restoration.  It would not look as sharp if I had to use the cut "well seasoned" one that came with it.  I sincerely appreciate all your hard work and time spent in making them available to us. Want you to know you both have a part in this restoration. Thank You!

[Jeff]

Wow...that looks beautiful.
Do you have another kettle for it or are you gonna keep the lime in it?

[Cellar2ful]

@Jeff - I am going to keep this kettle with it. The fact I was able to reunite this kettle with its original Chariot I find kinda special. The two had been separated for many years and the kettle was being used as a fire pit. While I don't have another tabbed lime kettle, I do have a nice MBH lime I can drop in whenever I want to cook on it.

Wow that looks amazing! What a score!

[HoosierKettle]

That is incredible. I like the look of that original bowl too. Pretty amazing.

If this was mine, I would change out the lid handle. That is it.

Finally found the time to paint an original two rivet handle, put some Zav wood on and secure it to the lid. Most of the rust spots on the lid came out with steel wool, but it left dark swirl marks all around the rust spots. Must have been from the steel wool. Used Meguiar's Scratch X and it not only took off the dark marks, it really gave the lid a extra high luster.   I have an idea to be able to put the bowl back in service but that will have to wait for another day.
