Finally found a redhead on Craiglist.

Since there is no Vent Code and it has the patent number, I figure it is a 70's model before 1979.

An 18" kettle for $15.00. It does have 3 chips in the coating. One is about the diameter of a coke can. Not sure if I will try to mask off and paint with the dupli engine paint.

Here's the original shape:

After a bit of work:

Sanded the handle and stained a bit:

Great score, and a nice save! Congrats! :thumb:
 
Great find, she's a beaut! Welcome to the club! Everything tastes better on a Redhead! :p
 
Glad you saved her! Does the top vent say pat pending? If so she is '68-'70.

Now, get those legs in the right place :D

Next, get some steel wool and some alum polish ! Or just buy a new legs/wheels/triangle/ash catcher kit from weber like I did lol. A lot easier!

Nothin cooks like a redhead! Can't wait to see updated pics.
 
No it does not say pat pending. It has the patent number. Ok, I will put the legs on the right way.

Sorry my man I shoulda saw that in your initial post! My bad!

Can't wait to see her all cleaned up! Any ideas on what yer gonna break her in with?
 
Darn it these posts make me sick. I want a redhead soooo badly!!! I scour craigslist, yard sales, auctions, classified, everything and still nothing.
