First off, wow, thank you, fedex. I never saw this. Very nice of you.
I've got a set of leg replacements if you want them.
I finally got around to stopping by my cousin's place and grabbing his kettle. The first thing I did was toss the nasty....errrr....well-used grates. I spent a better part of the day scrubbing the inside of the kettle and lid. They're not in like new condition, but in what I'd call "pretty damn clean" condition. I replaced the legs with the ones off of the kettle I used on my recent fire pit project (
http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/weber-kettles-accessories/kettle-fire-pit/). They were in better shape than the original, but the triangle and legs still needed a bit of a washing and SOS pad treatment. My favorite thing I did was bend the handle back into shape and installed a beautiful dark brown handle I bought from Brian. Last, went to Ace Hardware and got top and bottom grates, an ash pan and a rubber tip for the front leg. I would have preferred a era-correct ash catcher, but I haven't really come across one in that good of shape.
OK! Here's some pics...
