Here's a few in-progress pics.
Had the box & panels sandblasted, painted them with high-heat semi-gloss.
Cleaned and repainted entire frame, found a couple of end caps at my local hardware store.
Replaced the burner knobs and missing push igniter button via ebay.
Cleaned the lid inside & out. Much pitting remains on the inside, but tolerable.
Repaired holes in drip pain with JB Weld & sheet metal. Painted entire outside with high-heat semi-gloss.
Drilled & replaced manifold thumb screws w/ SS nuts & bolts, also replaced burner bolts with SS screws.
Got new slats for side table from a member here, ended up repairing and re-using the original handle, all stained & finished to match.
Upgraded the catch pan from worn out wire style hanger to the more sturdy type pictured.
Restored the emblem.
