Pretty cool, but I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t try it indoors!

Got this 18” WW from WKC member @dwnthehatch this past weekend.  We are thinking ’69 -‘70? 

Got the bottom vents freed up and decided to do a little burn off tonight.  Hasn’t been fired up for at least 5 years and who knows before that.  The legs are on caddy wampus, which I’m hoping to correct, but one of the sockets has one maybe two welds that have rusted through.  So it may stay that way.  Will need to get some new grates and do some more RR, but it’s in pretty great shape for a +50 year old!

Looking forward to continuing to clean this old guy up and get it in the rotation.  I’ll get some new pics once we make a little more progress.

Cheers!

Got my old gray fix up finished this weekend!  Legs are on correct now. Had to reattach a socket in the process with some SS hardware, but it’s very solid now.  Cleaned everything up nice, but not too nice [emoji6].  Added a @zavod44 custom cherry handle and we’re ready to cook on it for the next +50 years!

Nice job on the resto!  My ‘73 is out in the yard working on its tan lol… it’s really cool how these weather.  Congrats on a great job.[emoji106][emoji122]
