Did a little work on the ol' Model 2. First order was a good cleaning, and disassembly. I moved my Auber permanent probe to 1" from the top (been meaning to do this for awhile). I also added a sub-zero power cord, and kept it about 3' long (just enough to reach the Auber). While I was in there, I added the 800w element, and routed the probe lead out the bottom hole with the power cord.
The box got a good sanding with 180 grit, wipe with acetone, and a few coats of self-etching primer. It then received 3 or 4 coats of Dupli-Color Ford red engine enamel. Topped it off with some great Razorback decals, and I'm in Hog Heaven!
My buddies eying the SI are crazy jealous! lol!
One thing left to do: The door logo is stamped very shallow (at least in the middle), so there wasn't much to do with it during painting. I'm having a die-cut decal made in white, in the exact shape and size as the logo, to go over it. I'll update pics when that happens.
