Yea, that is when the real work begins. Your in luck as the ash pan looks in better condition than any I have started with. The legs look like you have your work cut out for you tomorrow.

@stellato1976 , keep up the nice restore. That is an awesome 18" Red that the price didn't get driven up. Be patient on the rest of your restore. Use what @MacEggs suggested on the wheels. if that doesn't work, I have painted some that where to far gone. Triangles are tricky and yes I have used a light wire wheel on triangles.

I'm going to try navel jelly in the near future, will update with that when I have a chance to try it out.

That is one GORGEOUS REDHEAD! Great job on the cleanup! PAT PENDING vents ran from '69-72, with yours still having the metal wheels I would put it in the 1969-70 column. Love it!

I could not save the wheels so I went a little crazy.

Paint the triangle? Ewwwwwwww. I would find a donor or drop it off at the chrome shop before I went that route. JMO, different strokes and all that. On the wheels, I prefer to give them a light sanding, spray them with satin black and put on decal whitewalls from Zavod.

Awesome grill. I too can't believe it hung around that long. Congrats!

Great job.  How did you do the lettering on the wheels?
