I'd think he could. From what I understand, you'd add a bit of some kind of thinner. I was leaving open the possibility that he might know of some other paint that's more resilient.

The frame really won't be getting any high heat, so I'd think that high heat paint wouldn't be necessary for the frame. Given your apparent knowledge about painting, you could basically do whatever you want to it. Only question would be color matching to the high heat paint needed for the...

It should probably fit, especially if you are running topless. The lid is held on with two clevis pins. They usually come out pretty easily, but have been known to freeze up. You might want to bring some Pblaster, a hammer and a punch. Maybe a pair of pliers as well. If you have to...

$37.xx USD ? That's a steal just for the red lid. It looks like it has all the hardware for the flip up table. Side table and bottom wood inserts are all there (including Z brackets). Ummmm, HELL YES it's a good candidate for a restore ! $100 or so and some elbow grease and you'll have a...

Congrats Dave. That definitely is a unicorn! Can't wait to see it after you restore it!

Oh hell, where did you get that tiny Genny ??

Thanks Kev. I just kind of stumbled into this one. I was at a Thunder of Louisville party (catered it) and stepped out to take a break and get some fresh Marlboro air. Pulled out my phone, went to FB, and there it was. I messaged the seller immediately and set up a pickup time for the next...

Yep. Grates are stamped. FB's definitely worth some $$$ to someone as they sell for at least $150 a set if you can find them. The lid definitely doesn't fit on a Genny. If that was close to me, I'd take a look at it as I need a side burner for an older Summit 650, though I'm not sure...

I'd quibble just a bit with a complete history. The first Spirits were made in the US around the time of the 1000 - 5000 Genny generation. When the Gold/Silver gen came out, I could be wrong, but I think the Spirit was discontinued at the time. I'd have to check some old catalogs to be sure...

Yep. It's a Seville Chariot. They don't pop up very often. Obviously, it would be worth a whole lot more with the original grill, but like Bob and Stefan said, the cart alone is worth serious bucks. Hell, some people put serious dollars in just for the restoration. Media blasting, powder...

All the Genny's have been made in the US, at least up until recently. I'm not sure where the current ones are made. Somewhere floating around here is a link to the history of Weber and Ducane. From what I recall, Weber bought out Ducane and moved the manufacturing of them to China or...

Yep. Been there, done that. Hell, I've had folks sell things out from underneath me when they knew I was already driving over to pick the item up.

Meh, the lid and the handle are worth the $45, at least around here as Reds never pop up and those handles are expensive to reproduce in wood.

I'm thinking it's a 1000lx with the durawood slats on the bottom, versus wire rack. https://www.weber.com/US/en/help/schematics/browse.aspx?model=211701

Heheh, funny thing is that here in middle America, Gochujang is on the shelves at Kroger in the Asian aisle.

Hahah, touche! I'm sure that Jamie could come up with some kind of twist.

The answer appears to be yes, someone would. You have to consider that it's about 60 years old. Was one of the earliest Weber's made. And it was a rare color scheme, being "chromoveil" which was something hot at the time. That makes it a triple whammy so to speak.

Not sure which models this would apply to, but I believe some of them had SN's or model#'s on the manifolds. As Bruce said, if you post a pic or two, someone could identify the model for you. Probably even narrow down the year as well, at least to within 2 years.

Nice grab. I'm sure you'll have that looking close to factory fresh in no time. Not seeing any obvious holes in the bottom, so you might very well be able to save the bottom pan. Not sure that you'd be able to make it glass smooth without using some filler, but it could still look good. I...

You're welcome. When you catch the bug and end up writing a "SV with Weber" cookbook, throw a little something my way :-)
