Finished the restoration on the yellow 18.5 tonight. Props to Zavod for the handle and white wall decals. This was your typical pickup (other than the color). Neglected, but pretty solid otherwise. I'm almost afraid to cook on it..... Almost :)

Had to go with the fade for the 1st pic

Obviously looking for a Glen Blue (who isn't?😂).

Looking for anything Happy Cooker, including any re-branded as Montgomery Ward.  I've amassed a nice collection, but I'm missing a few still.  Let me know if you can help a fella out🤞

Holy balls!

How did you get the ash pan to a mirror finish?

Wow!!!
Great find, even better clean up...okay maybe better find. No, restore is out of this world, that mirror finish on the pan is incredible.

That first shot of the color shift just makes me want a yellow even more!

Wow!!!  So awesome!  May be the best one I've seen!  Well done.

I would eventually cook on it...but after an impressive shine-up like that I would leave it in show mode for a time.

Nominate this kettle for shiniest ash pan of 2015.

Thanks guys. Yeah, we can talk about that ash pan - it's a real son of a bitch though. With the way Ebay prices have been going maybe I should throw it up on there........Nah

You've really raised the bar on that ash pan. I'm gonna have to break out the clay bars & the Milwaukee w/9" polishing wheel. Sh!t just got real!!!
