Not sure how to title this???
« on: August 24, 2014, 08:33:28 PM »
Not sure how, because I'm not. I have been blessed with local and abroad WKC members. As I have expressed many times this is a hobby to me and do it on the down low. I really get more pleasure being able to help others. I have shipped, traded and help others secure grills. In the next couple weeks I will have fulfilled a few holes. Ultimately IMO, some our out of reach for me. Yes, I would like a Chestnut, Imperial and like Terry and Craig, a Green MBH...

I have moved some out, as I don't need two of the same. I have moved some, as others had holes in there collections and it just makes sense to me. I revert to this thread below, because this is what it's to me.

Yesterday we had a little local meet up. Some had stuff to share and some had been agents for others. How we work local, makes for great friendships. So I presented grill and took the time to do the Restore and Respect, as a local did the Rescue. This grill has many cooks on it and will continue with me. It has a story and was passed on by a member.

Pat# Pending Red.



It had been repaired before, so I did a quick fix to keep it close to original.




It is not a NIB, but still stands strong for being 40+ years old.




Corn was already put in the cooler, smashed tators were second up.



Yep, it needs a handle, but she does turn purty under heat...

I have a 76/77 Red and the color change when it gets hot is so friggin cool.
I am not a collector, but I do have a small collection.

Great story Greg.   Glad to see the old girl rescued!

(And those smashed tators don't look to bad either!)
Interested in ANY offset handle SJs you may have.

604, it is a product called Whink Rust and Stain remover. Melts the rust away without effecting the paint.
Just a light squirt and scrub with a tooth brush. Was the easiest part of the rebuild, about a minute...
