Title: Wood Dale is together...
Post by: glrasmussen on July 19, 2013, 07:12:33 PM
I took some time tonight, and received some input. It is not perfect. Tab is missing and as was the ash tray...
it was missing and not period correct...

That looks fricken amazing! I love it!  8) 
 
That last photo is "just a picture I liked" quality. I love the background of the bushes, it really sets off the black of the kettle.

That's a beauty! I really like the horizontal handles on those models. Most people find it strange, but I like the dirty angles. Whenever I build an oldie I make sure it has one even if I have to cut it meself! ;D

Looks great.  Say no to dirty angles.

Love it. And every one of us should wheel our restored kettles around the local botanical garden for a photo shoot like this. There's a zoo right up the street from me here in Chicago that's free. Hmmm...

Yup...you did a nice job on it.  Did you paint the white walls, are get a set from Brian?  I echo what Brian said about the leg cap.   Those white caps on the top of the small propane lantern bottles fit nice.  Harris, does yours have a cap on it?  Can't tell with the leg in the grass.   I wonder what color cap is correct for a grill this old?

Looking good!  Well done. It's great to see these old grills still out there and being restored.

The faded Wood Dale I got out of Iowa did have the original hubcaps.  They were metal and a faded black.  They could not be saved as they basically fell  apart.  There was a large spider living inside on of the wheels...

Jeff, the white walls are original. Just gave the wheels a bath, used a tooth brush and "Whink" Rust Remover.

Mine originally had a black end cap.  It was falling apart and replaced it.
