Title: My 1960's cleanup/restore is complete
Post by: LightningBoldtz on June 17, 2013, 05:16:38 PM

I got my stickers from Brian today so I was able to complete the setup.

Special Thanks to Brian for the help with this.

First here is the thread of the first stages of the restore.

The color kettles are nice, but one like yours might just be my favorite.....VERY nice cleanup & restore!!!!

Very few places on that which could rust.....like the usual handle chip points and such...............that's out of the ordinary!!!!!

Thanks for restoring that stately part of American history, and for sharing the photos here.  Incredible.

Nice clean up on that grill! Brians wheel stickers and handles really make a huge difference.

The Master-Touch is one of my favorite grills that I have owned.  Weber still makes them over seas, I don't know why they don't here.  Instead we get the Performer Silver. zzzzzz  ::)

Thanks for sharing LB.  It is wonderfully preserved.

The ash pan is in good shape!  I mean that literally, the shape is good - they can get awfully wavy.
