With some great help/advice from this forum I just completed my first restore, 2005 Silver B I purchased nearly 20yrs ago. I know it’s not a classic deep box genesis, but it has sentimental value as I bought it brand new nearly 2 decades ago. Like many Silver Bs, the bottom shelf in the cabinet started to rust and I decided to do a deep clean, custom wood shelf and full-out restore.
I was able to reuse most all parts including the original burners and stainless flavorizer bars. I mainly had to concentrate on the cabinet and frame. The floor was removed, frame braces added, custom l-brackets installed, solid cherry wood floor modded out and the cabinet panels had to all be altered to accept the new floor. The whole frame was sent off to sandblasting/powder-coating and the firebox and sides were treated with high heat paint.
The bottom grated cherry floor was very straightforward and quick to make with left-over cherry stock from previous furniture builds.
