Water heater refurb

The outdoor panel/cover for our propane gas water heater was terribly rusty.  The inside components are in almost new condition....

We tried to find an exact replacement, but it was not available due to it being 30 years old!!

But, Duane found this "almost exact replacement".   The holes are not exactly the same.

So he did what he always does - he carefully modified it to fit.  Now he has to do a little plumbing work to reinstall it.
