Nice work Scott looks fantastic and welcome to the forum.
I also have a 1985 gen 2 chocolate colored awaiting restoration, also a low serial # if I remember correctly one of the first 200 made. It is in remarkable shape being an Arizona grill even the FBs, grates, and burners are original and like new.
Age and health have held me back from getting it done but after seeing yours the fire is lit again. My wonderful wife who has been a part of every restoration flip I've worked on said last night let's get it done when I showed her yours! I think her theory is it will look great next to our 1989 green Gen1000LX now upgraded to a 2000 that we bought new in 98. FYI. The Gen 2000 is her personal grill and I think maybe she will have two pretty soon if this works out.
