I am super excited my vac guy found a Silverado Electrolux in his warehouse and asked if I wanted it. The body is a little rusty but not bad and does not really show that bad in person. I wish I could take it to someone just to get the body sanded and maybe repainted or keep it as is since it would keep it all original. Either way for as dirty as it was it cleaned up nicely and I even redid the lettering with paint pens. Tell your thoughts on the body as I am no expert and taking that part off to sand and repaint?

Great looking find, Sam. Since the 'alligator' pattern is embossed on the sheet metal a new paint job could be justified. :-)
No visaable broken bits and the chrome looks flawless.
