Thank you Jon! No problem, I'm happy to help out. Although yours looked just as convincing in my opinion. I've already gotten some help with a nice control panel sans holes (although if someone happens to have an NOS one around let me know:))

Thanks Timothy! Best of luck, glad I could help.

When I opened the file I realized I never scaled it to the final size, I'll measure tonight. If you ever wondered what this stuff looks like in process here it is:

Jon, It looks great! A little tip on the round corners, while its still on the backing you can hit them with some fine sandpaper and even them out. I Promise it works, that's how I did mine!

Bruce, 1. If you print out the PDF using acrobat and make sure it its set to print at original size it should be dead on. If you print out the JPG, I'm not sure. I could size it to fit on a 5x7 or 4x6, if anyone has interest in that? It will only print 1 label. Again if you want I can filla...

The size that I measured before I removed mine was 1.375" x 3.1875" I highly recommend downloading the PDF here and printing out of Acrobat or some program that does not re-size them. tank scale-danger.pdf If that's not possible here is a hi-res JPG Please, Please, PLEASE do not skew the...

For sure! To print their own I mean. Let me put a post together with everything.

Thank you! It was nice to get at least 1 part finished

Did a little tank scale restoration: Mine was looking pretty sad First step was to remove the old decal Then clean off the residue and give it a good de-greasing Some new gloss black 4 years in art school :) Lookin good as new, in my opinion anyway As a side note, I picked this...

Mine was so rusty inside the remaining bolt broke out along with he keeper. In hind site this may have been the way to go. A lot of my washer were broken or missing, so that would have driven me nuts. Or if you do, stop before the last bolt :)

Since I'm repainting the frame, I decided to go ahead and fully disassemble it. Almost every joint had these large gaps, which I was worried might be hard to fix. Luckily it turns out it was just poorly assembled, easily fixed when it goes back together. Looks like I'm in the market for...

If you build a relationship, I'm sure. The last time I took them some exhaust manifolds they did them for free. Granted, I've done a lot of business with them and I'm not showing up every week asking for freebies.

When I went to Home Depot this time they only had 100 lb bags of sand for $10. That is plenty to do ends caps and a firebox, probably several grills worth. However the time would be the killer. I'd say it realistically took me 1 hour to do the end caps. Buts it's not an easy or pleasant hour...

In my opinion it was worth the effort. Now if you decide to do the fire box.... we'll see you in 8 hours :D

Mine is a portable outdoor unit. Not at all professional level, but perfect for the kind of stuff I do. I checked and they still sell this model for $62. https://www.sears.com/craftsman-50-lb-sandblaster-kit-with-1-4-in/p-00916706000P?plpSellerId=Sears&prdNo=1&blockNo=1&blockType=G1 I wish I...

Appearance wise, the worst part of my grill were the lid end caps, so I figured I'd start with dressing them up a bit. Someone had painted them several times, and some of the paint was bubling and flaking. I've seen some posts were people sanded them but mentioned its tough to keep the...

Mine has the gray painted wood as well. I should say it HAD the gray wood, the only remnant of it was under the end caps. That is one part that probably won't be going back to original.

Bruce, I can just make out the "EZ" on the faded decal Which I think is associated with 1998 via http://virtualweberbullet.com/determine-age-weber-grills-smokers.html I think they went with stickers because they didn't want us to get lazy :)

Not that I could find. Probably falls into a legal "gray area" since it involves serial numbers, but I doubt anyone is making a business selling counterfeit 20 year old grills.

Haha! What is it with people drilling through the control panels? Well it looks like there are a few grills that gave their lives so ours could live on. Best of luck, I'll be following along with you.
