OK I think I’m about 98% done with the resto on my GB. There’s some small areas of rust to clean and I still need to get her some shoes to call her own. I borrowed these from a redhead for the pics. Thanks to @harris92 for finding some really nice replacement legs for her. It has a @zavod44 reproduction handle and a reproduction pan from @Bertl and @Jeff . The triangle is original and cleaned up pretty good. Some of the axle lost chrome to rust but not too bad.

Fantastic. Did you just use a bar clamp for the top handle straightening?

Quote from: AZ Monsoon on July 30, 2017, 08:37:03 AMYes, my metal working/ace welder friend did that part. I highly recommend him if anyone needs delicate restoration welding. He's also a connoisseur of old Webers.
Fantastic. Did you just use a bar clamp for the top handle straightening?
