Some new late 50s arrivals

[Chris-B-Que]

Finally I'm able to post pictures again from android!!!! (Via tapatalk)

I finally managed to find and secure and import to Australia a pre 1960 22" with utility shelf!
In all original condition with the clipped ash pan!!

Absolutely stoked I managed to find a big bro to my weber bros 49er.
Would have preffered a matching 58 weber bros 22" but I am definately not gonna complain about this stunning 1959 wooddale stamped grill!!!

Also scored a late 50s early 60s smokey joe to go with my 50s grills!

I plan to do a slight resto/rust removal on the 59 to preserve the condition of this fine grill.
But don't wanna go too full on and lose its character!

Any recommendations on how to go about the rust removal of the chrome plated legs?

Anyway here she is!!!

Will get some pics of it out in the sun soon!!

Also check out the original copper paint finish on the underside of the utility shelf!!
So cool!!

Would really like to remove the rust without removing this original finish on the underside, but unsure how to go about it.....

That is awesome, both the grills and the cook. Condrats.

Teardown has begun!!
Ive finally managed to pry the steel lock nuts off the wheels using a pry bar and flat bar.
Took quite a few alternating pry's to get them to come looses.

Now to find a container just big enough to fit the utility shelf and legs to start the evaporusting of all rusted parts.

Will get some oven cleaner through the week for the inside of bowl and lid as its severely crusted on.

Keen to see this shining.

Did a little restoration on this very early smokey joe.

Evaporusted the solid steel legs and hardware back to raw steel. Quick spray of wd40 to prevent rust again.

Will heat lid and bowl up and will apply oil on the bare steel spots to help prevent further rust.

Love this SJ!!
