Pretty sure mine is a Summit 650 NG.  Taking suggestions where to start.  This is going to be a big elephant to eat one bite at a time.  I want to start with a general cleaning I think.  Any advice on that?  Should get a pressure washer?  Some sort of rust remover or grease remover?
Looking for 22" or 26" kettles and 22" WSMs, NIB or like new in the Chicago area.
Also, looking for old Summit gas grill parts.

One quick question, are you going to want a left side table?  Or are you fine with it missing?  Reason I ask is that the tubular steel U shaped frame is very difficult to find.   None of the regular parts suppliers have it.  Only way I know of to source it is to salvage from another grill.     That said, I believe the actual side table and condiment rack are still available from Weber and other sources.

I have the shelf and condiment holder.  I am trying to find the u support.  I might have it somewhere in the house, but meanwhile I am trying to find it elsewhere if at all possible.

Opened her up and I was very happy.  It looks like I just need new igniters/switches and crossover bars.  Very little rust on the box.  The rust on the flavorizers and the grates look like it is just on the surface and can be cleaned.  Will post pictures over the weekend.
