I don't know if I will spring for those pricier grates or just get the stock style. I don't know that he will notice the difference, and I might have to cut some costs!

I know! The inside is basically mush but at least I am starting at zero dollars. My brother has a little walmart special grill now that is at least 10 years old so he will love it. I will pressure wash sand and repaint the frame and outsides of the firebox and buff out the hood. Then new...

I am going to restore this Genesis for my brother. I picked it up this morning on the side of the road. I know I have ordered the grates for this model for one I did for my brother in law but I can't find the part number. Any ideas? Its going to need new everything inside but the outside will...

That grill looks so awesome, you went all out on that one!

On it's way to Ohio!

Agreed, take it apart! You'd be surprised how much space it it takes up once it's in pieces. You'll have to take it all apart to redo it anyways.

I install these in the frame ends, not sure if they were there in the first place but they fit an look good. https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00880SDR6/tvwb-20

Yes! Spent the whole day on it yesterday. The bars and grates were in great shape. I ordered end caps, an igniter, and new casters for it. My Dad is taking it down to her to Ohio disassembled. I will post a pic when he sets it up for her. Time to spend a few days on the wood! Here are some pics...

I did one for my Dad and posted it on here back around Christmas time. I picked this one up for $30 on Craigslist this week. It will be a gift for my big sis down in Dayton Ohio. I will post some progress pics as I go along. This one is in better shape to start than the one I did for my Dad...

Thanks again to everyone for all of the nice comments. You all made me even more excited to give it to him Saturday night. I will post some pics when he gets it!

Thanks for the compliment. Original wood. I pressure washed first which took out most of the oil stains and all of the old cedar colored stain. Then I sanded it. I used wood conditioner then one coat of minwax cherry wood colored gel stain. Then five coats of verethane water based floor...

Thanks to everyone for all of the nice replies. I can't wait to give it to him and see what he cooks up on it!

Took some work but It was worth it. Bought it for $35 including a nice tank. Cooking grates are stainless and were in great shape, flavor bars were also in great shape. I ordered a new warming rack and basket for it to finish it off and had the tank filled. This will be replacing his 12 year...
