A while back I was able to score a sweet '67-'68 (best guess) Avocado.

Aside from period correct wheels and ash pan, it really only need a good cleaning and polishing.
@Craig reached out with a set of period correct wheels, thanks so much bud!
Here they are as I got them from Craig. About to go into the bath of E-vap-or rust along with the thumb screws.
After a couple of days soaking and ready for paint

Well here it is all cleaned up! Did the best I could with polishing and detail work. Maybe not as detailed as a
@SixZeroFour kettle, but then again he might be the best at it...
Period correct ash pan courtesy of
@zorknards2 cleaned up pretty well I think.
The seller found the original ash pan in some bushes after I had cleaned up this one, so I think I'll use the original to cook with and the polished one for display/show purposes.
Restored the original grate
It has very little crazing, and I get nervous every time I use it, so I built a little ring to keep the coals off the sides
Thanks for looking, and to everyone who helped make this grill possible!
