Not a chance! Every yellow has its own character. Great job and patience cleaning it.

That's coming along great. Are you keeping track of the hours you have in it?

Wonder if the wheels are original... they're in way too nice shape compared to the grill.

[Jeff]

Total hours into the grill are 3.5.  Wheels appear to be original.  This is mostly likely one of the last years of the yellow kettles produced with this style wheel. 
They white walls were fairly dirty, but after clean-up, turned out like new.  Very little dry rot if any on the white walls

Quick update.  2 more hours on the bowl.
Total 5.5.
Advisory...for those that are squeemish or easily horrified, please turn away and do not scroll down.
For the rest of you...don't worry.  I haven't "detailed" the bowl yet.  It'll all buff out...

More to come soon

Man you've got more patience than I do. That's a true RRR.

[Jeff]

Hey guys,  another update.  Another 1.5 hours into it.  Cleaned the inside of the bowl, along with some additional hardcore cleaning on the rust on the bowl exterior.  I'm starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel.  I've showing some before and after pics...hopefully you can see a little difference on the exterior.

Looking good!  You can definitely see progress in those shots. Lots of patience evident as well.

Nice work Jeff. A guy like me might have thrown in the towel by this point. It's guys like you that show us all what RESPECT really means.
