I agree.
I do believe that wheel will clean up very nicely.

For a second, I thought cado, then I thought faded black weathered warrior, then I decided there just wasn't enough showing to tell in that pic. But, I did not bother downloading & enlarging.

I just buffed the lid. So I could get a true sense of the color.
I found this downtown Indianapolis at a house I was estimating the roof on. I spotted this poor thing in the back corner of the yard. I offered 20 but when he saw the sockets falling off he said I could have it. It was in a very affluent area on the near north side of Indy. This guy had a massive house built in the 1800's and was an eccentric guy. Everything was overgrown and house needed a lot of work. He owned the kettle since new. It's an m code.

Now the question is how to restore it. I thought about cutting the bottom off my one touch sockets sweeps and all in one piece and cut out this one and river together. Or I thought about cutting the sockets along with large circles of metal and replacing the sockets that way.
What do you think?

Free is amazing. Also, the faded blacks often have character. Good luck on the restore. I don't have any tips for you, but have seem some amazing things on here.

There is a M code near my house that is being offered for $35. I posted a thread in the Online Finds sections. It is the one where I feel bad for the guy. Do you want it? But the one near me is in considerably better condition.

I just revisited that. Thanks for the offer but mine has a lot more fade. That one is a nicer grill but I'm going for fade. Shipping or driving wouldn't be worth it. I have 3 18's. I was thinking I could cut the sockets off a rusted 18 along with a sizable circle of metal. I know the curvature will be different but maybe I can make it work.

Yes! It's very faded. I've never seen a gray but I'm almost certain this is a very faded black. That's what drew me to it

She is almost ready to cook. I'll have to look on here and see how you guys bolt vents on. I used 2 nuts in a jam nut configuration. I'm guessing there is a better way?

It's ready for action. Special thanks to Travis. I finally found an appropriate home for those wood handles. I'm glad to finally have a weathered warrior.
This is the first one I actually rescued. It definitely had one leg in the grave. Too bad I had to sacrifice one of my three black 18's but it was incomplete and not in great shape. Better than this one though lol.

I painted the white walls and found some red hubcaps. I love the hubcaps but wondering if I should have left the wheels all black. Oh well. Maybe it will grow on me.
