Looking great Steve. Quite the inspiration to keep these early grills in nice shape. Love the attention to detail.

Thanks, but it's a sickness really. Just the few things I did represent about six hours of time and effort. I still wasn't happy with how the grates looked for example, I spent a couple more hours on them last night. Now they do look like they are new. I know a lot of people aren't big fans of the stamped stainless steel grates, but I like them and they aren't cheap for the Weber ones. I didn't want to spend a hundred bucks if I could make the old ones nice again.

I get it about making the grates all nice and shiny, but a few cooks in and they won't be....but at least it will be your "seasoning", and not someone else's crud.

Exactly Bruce, that's my biggest hangup with that although my own grates never get that crusty either.
 
Mine do..... LOL

BTW: Thanks Steve for reminding me that I left the grill on after my dinner cook tonight to burn off the crud. It got a GOOD burn off. About and hour in high. But, even after that, I think I am due for the angle grinder and wire brush.
 
Greetings,

I got this Skyline more than a year ago in a trade. It was assembled backwards with the big wheels on the left. Otherwise in good shape with all the parts from what I can tell.

I am in New England. Sears looks like they sold Skylines nationwide.

I reassembled and freshened up the paint. The knobs and front casters are a modification. The control panel 8006 is the same vintage from a parts grill.

The lid is faded evenly to give the appearance of a mica lid I believe. The lid is solid black under the badge

I got a little more detailing to do to finish it up before selling it.

Question does anyone know if the rack on the right side is original to a Skyline? The frame has notches to accommodate the rack.

Thank you

I have never seen a skyline with that rack on the far right end. The condiment rack in front of the control panel is unique and part of the Skyline package however.
