Skyline Club Members: Let's post our restores!
Hey SKYLINE CLUB Members, why don't we beat the winter blues and (re)post our Skyline restorations?
I can't show much in the way of "before" pictures, because my Skyline was cobbled together from pieces from a number of grills.
Here is sweep of my Chicago Skyline, complete with a Chicago White Sox badge that also features the Chicago Skyline. A fun connection for me due to grad school, starting my professional career in Chicago, and most of all because my wife is from there - well, Palos Hills as I like to remind her

!
Showing off what POR-15 can do.
I went all out and even painted the "Weber" name and surround white, just like their newer logo. It was a pain to do, and I decided that would probably be the last time. A red kettle is all that really matters...I was also happy to find a good home for my original Weber handle light - a $10 thrift store find!
It just went so well with this grill

!
Probably the coolest thing about my Skyline is the red oak stained with dark walnut as I saw someone else here do. LOTS of spar urethane to protect that vulnerable oak. I also used marine grade 316 stainless screws and stainless z bars because here in Florida most of these old Weber shelves are rusted out toast!
Bruce beat me to it, but great minds run in the same something or other as I was planning on it as well. I always felt that the handle/tool hook end-caps on the later Silver/Gold grills were a welcome improvement and wanted to incorporate them into my Skyline.
I also really liked the short run at the end of the Silver era when Weber started using black knobs and handles. I was really glad to be able to do this on my Skyline. I think it adds a lot to the dark, "urban" look I was trying for.
I really wanted the classic 13-bar firebox and was disappointed at the time that I couldn't use a Silver frame to do this.
Another treasure I was saving for just the right grill!
