Hi everyone, Sorry I haven't updated in a while, I guess I was out using my grill :) It's prime time grilling season in AZ right now - in July not so much. I'll try to get some pics to show how the various decals and such have held up since I completed my restoration. Most of the things I...

Brian, You're control panel has one of the best condition serial decals I've seen. I've been looking for a clear photo for my 1100 restoration. Thanks for posting the pics!

Decided the grill would need to be outside if I was actually going to grill on it. The day I brought it home The Genesis in it's new home Going to need a cover More pics of the control panel because I'm so proud of it Try #2 at the serial decal, this time I colored the edges with a...

Wow, thanks so much for the kind regards everyone! As much as I wish it was perfect it's not, I just conveniently hide everything wrong in the photos :) The next one will be perfect :D:D:D

Larry, It was a while ago, but I think I did just use some grease that I had laying around. Certainly didn't buy any, but thanks for the recommendation. If it ever does start to act up I will get some of the Tri Flow for sure. I did change out the cord to a 3 prong as you had suggested, the...

Haha, I'm afraid it is just a can of Rustoleum. I did start with filler primer and spent some good time sanding it.

Thanks Dave! We remodeled our kitchen a few years back, and the catch was in exchange I got to make some minor improvements to the garage. If anyone is interested I have a thread going about it over on the Garage Journal https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=7341325#post7341325

Thanks everyone! More pictures coming assuming I don't blow myself up

And here it is all assembled! I don't know if I can bring myself to move it outside. Maybe my wife will let me park it in her garage space :)

Thanks! Yes depending on the level of strength you need you can supplement the toothpicks. I've used epoxy and superglue in the past, but I suspect that even with my best efforts some day I 'll be refinishing these again.

Don't want to hijack the thread but I've also rebuilt a Kitchenaid mixer for my wife (then girlfriend). $10 on Facebook Fixed the switch and painted it her favorite color It was a hit! Still works perfect, 4 years on.

Well I had a few set backs when I went to re-assemble the wood trays. I re-used the original screws that were in the slats, which I had soaked in Evaporust. I don't know if I posted about it before, but it does a great job of cleaning up old hardware. Anyways when I went to screw them...

Just a small update today as I was adding another coat of the Spar. As you can see there is some differentiation in the planks, but I like the "character" that it gives them Also thought I'd post the stain that I used in case anyone was curious, Golden Oak And I went for Gloss on the...

Haha, well I'm afraid it might not make it to prime time TV, but thanks so much Tim! It's been fun documenting it along the way. Thanks Jon, I'm hoping that some grilling this weekend will fit into the schedule, and I'll definitely be taking pictures!

Thanks Rich - Yes but you are very lucky, Prescott is a beautiful place!
