Some have already been following along with the developments of today but I've finally got some mostly cleaned up pics to share! "The Chief" still needs some vent polishing etc but this is more or less the shape it was in when I picked it up! Unfortunately no super cool story behind the grill even though I tried to pry some info from the seller. It was the 85yo owners daughter who was selling it and he wasn't there.

It seems the wheels may not be correct? but the weird thing is that the rest of it is so mint it seems odd they would swap out the wheels? Either way they are quite nice and will absolutely do until I confirm if they are legit or can find some originals!

I also snagged the offset red - may be able to get pics up tonight but more likely in the am.

Still can't believe this one worked out! The couple dings at the vent are essentially the only damage on the grill!

















The copper performer doesn't look so big anymore!





I'm just ecstatic right now. Still in a daze from a whirlwind trip but I'll fight through it  ;) ;D

Man, you are on a roll. That thing is in great shape. Are the handles Weber? They look funny- too blocky.
