So, I'm doing my first real restoration, and I'd appreciate your thoughts. This is a beautiful old brownie that I recieved in a trade recently with a member here. Below are some pics.
My questions:
1. One of the leg brackets has come loose on one tab. Can it be welded back on, or should I drill it and bolt it?
2. The bottom vents are pretty rough. How would you approach restoring these? They are riveted on, and they turn just fine. Should I try to remove them, clean, polish, and bolt back on; or just clean, reshape and polish?
3. The ash pan has some major dents. Any tips on how to reshape it?
4. The wheels are banged up. Should I just buy some new ones? If so, where do I order these?
I've already begun cleaning up the legs, and they're coming out great. And I got a new handle from Brian (man, is it nice!). This is going to be an everyday cooker for my brother. Anything else you can think of that might help on this restoration?
Thanks in advance!
