I picked this up in January I think, in Newport Beach. Poor thing was kept outside and abused it's whole life. I wanted it for the bale and thermo for another project. I put in the backyard and forgot about for a few days and one late afternoon I went out back and saw it had one of the best fades I'd seen on a Red so I decided to give it go. These are the Before Pics.

3 months later and way more money and time then I think it's worth.

Think I'm keeping it. Thanks for looking.
Looks great! Love the wheels. Which ones did you get? I have some similar but cant put the cap on to keep them fixed on the triangle, only the metal part of it.
She shined up real nice. Have you cooked on it yet?
So is the lid bale still available?
j/k
Nice shine on 'er. Nice save.
Very Nice, and that fade..WOW
welcome to the rockin' K club!
Turned out pretty dang nice. Like the monotone theme with the black legs & red wheels. Nice touch.
Yeah, I'm with brewtown. I'm diggin those legs and wheels bro. And that bowl color... Cool. Good job.
That's beautiful. Great work.
Love the black legs, I think I might do that to my custom height legs!
Thx for posting
That fade is awesome but it distracted me from what was really catching my eye and making it pop....the black legs in combination with the red wheels. Very nicely done!!!!
Very nice- what did you use to clean and polish the porcelain?
