Return of Project Tomato, the saga continues

I picked up the redhead from
@Vwbuggin64
over the weekend. Here is a link to the original find and restore
http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/index.php?topic=27086
. To complete the restore of this pre pp redhead I'm in need of one red handle. I'm hoping someone out there can help get this across the finish line. I added the small vents to the bowl and the steel wheel with black triangle. I gave it a quick bath too.

Those wheels make tomato look amazing! It was awesome meeting you and glad to see tomato is in good hands. She spent 99% of her life with me covered to protect from the sun and elements (ha). Btw, those are actual Weber replacement vents I ordered when I bought her.

I still need to clean it up a bit more and restore the wheels. Your 64 reminded me of learning to drive stick in my sister's 66 Cal Bug

@Vwbuggin64
. Update on the Tomato. I repainted the black triangle and installed a set of restored wheels. Next up is the handle and lid vent

It looks like a night and day difference. I look forward to seeing tomato in action!

That's as far as I got with Tomato. With the slide aside it I never worried about the rear handle. It will need a new home soon.
