I am just about finished with my Genesis red head grill. I am the original owner. The restoration started with moving the grill into my workshop from the car port ahead of IDA. The front castors would not roll and one was broken. I replaced the castors and than I saw the rust on the lower grating shelf, rust on the wheel axles, rust on the frame, the sides of the fire box was all flakey, the flavorizer bars were rusted, the warming racks had no plating left, the wood slats looked like crap. I took the grill apart, repainted the frame, removed all the paint from the outside of the fire box, cleaned the inside of the box, replaced the flavorizer bars, the burners, the ignitor, the 2 warming racks, I fabricated new wood slats from rough cut cypress (2X6X10). I blasted the red ceramic off of the lid and repainted with HVT Red Caliper paint, All hardware is now stainless steel with the exception of the shroud bolts and the handle bolts. I had to replace the tube connectors in the 2 bottom crossmembers.
