Blue/Sidewinder/330/Restoration/Could Go Any Direction

I also think this issue is more common on 300 series Genesis grills.

Yes Jon I 100% agree. The latest generation sidewinder followed by the next generation 300 have been the only ones I have had issues with.

Now the newer ones could be different or they could be the same. Time will tell.

on my last flip I used an NG floor and just cut the hole with a jigsaw. I painted both sides and edges to prevent future rust.

Looks perfect! I would never have guessed it wasn’t original.

Thanks...I usually do a trex floor and outboard the tank....but the last couple of them sold a little slower with several requests to relocate the tank.

Looks great! I have done several keeping the tank on the inside with the big hole and they have been great!


I think I want to do this one with a solid floor and outboard tank. My theory is that the floor will be stronger and maybe hold up better without the tanks going in and out. I'm still deciding though. Just going to make decisions as I go.

Im definitely going to do full blackout this time including the table end caps at control panel end caps. Like I have been doing on my Genesis ii blackout Restorations. With Blue Lid and doors this time

This will be the last grill from this era that I do so I want to make it great. Not sure what I'm going to do with it. Probably donate it. Dan has dibs because the blue lid and doors was his idea.

Dan who?

I’ve had plenty of seized pins on the older ones. The only one I had a mighty struggle with was the Genesis Gold I did. I’ve had great luck lately with freezing them up with a vice grips. It wrecks the pins… but I’ve got tons of those.

Dan who?

No it's pronounced DanHoo
Not Dan Who

Cody if you want this Blue and Blackout 330 when it's finished you can come and get it if Dan doesn't.

If you were closer Josh, I'd buy it from you after its fully restored, but it's about $400 in gas round trip plus time I just don't have right now. It will be a beauty I'm sure. Some day I'll find one near me.

 

[DanHoo]

I've collected far less than Josh and Jon for sure, yet the only pins I've had seized were on deep box first gen's.

I guess I've gotten lucky with the E3xx

I don't want your money Cody.
I'm not sure if I can hold it for that long though.

 

[Cody Bratton]

Damn it!

Cody, Blue Sidewinder a half hour from you.

Throw him out an offer. He has been sitting on it for 18 days already.

 

[Josh Dekubber]

All Done,
Just finished my Blue and Blackout 330.

 

[Josh Dekubber]

Glad I decided to outboard the tank. I always considered that a second choice for some reason but after doing it I think it's better at least in my opinion. The floor feels much more solid and rigid without the big hole in it and I like the look of the tank on the outside.

 

[Steve Hoch]

I love the look of the whole thing, it's a beauty top to bottom.

 

[Jon Tofte]

Ooh! That’s really bold! I love it. I believe you said it was a gift, but I would love to see how the market would respond.

Thank you Steve!! I'm really happy with the changes I made at the end. I had the whole bottom blacked out and all the handles Chrome and it just looked a bit mismatched
