Hi:
I'm new to the forum and found it when I was searching for info on restoring an older Genesis. I have a Genesis 1000 that I bought new in 1997 and am trying to do a complete restore. I've torn it down to the component parts and have some questions:
1. The cart is OK but has some minor rust areas, would you suggest just touching up the paint as opposed to repainting it ?
2. I was going to have the fire box sand blasted and just cleaning and sanding the hood myself. The hood's screws won't reverse out so I can't take it apart and sand blast the sides. What fineness of sandpaper should I use on the hood sides and what would you suggest I clean the enamel portion with ?
3. Do you suggest I restain the wood or get new wood ? The durawood is shown in the picture but I have the original wood stored away.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
Jim
