Re: grill repair

I've heard that some truck stops that have people that polish aluminum fuel tanks will polish them for you, but I've never investigated this.

I tried polishing mine, but couldn't get all of the anodized coating off so I just painted it silver until I can bring myself to spend the $ on a chrome repro one.

Thumbs up Re: grill repair

Do a search within the forum.
I posted some links with some companies that actually do a full restoration on these grills.
I can't remember where I posted them, but its somewhere on here ha ha.
They maybe some close to you.
