I have a new burner, drip pan, and ignition on the way...my two concerns are the frame pretty rusted where the tank hangs and the base where the wheels attach.
<span class="ev_code_GREEN">How rusted are they? Is it rusted through? If not I would get a wire brush or something and grind down the rusted areas to bare metal and then repaint them.</span>
Should I pain the interior or just leave it?
<span class="ev_code_GREEN">By interior do you mean the interior of the fire box? If so then no. I would just leave it as it is and "spray some Pam on it"
</span>
Should I scape down the frame or just leave it?
<span class="ev_code_GREEN">I would clean the frame really good with 0000 steel wool and 409, touch up any rusted areas with paint and then polish with some auto paint polish</span>
That wire basket looks like a bear to scrape and paint.
<span class="ev_code_GREEN">I think I would just give it a good scrub with some 409 and 0000 steel wool. I think you will be surprised with how well it will clean up!</span>
