I really like the look of the solid white walls!  Nice job!

@zavod44 is it retro-mod or resto-mod?

Brian, Craig and I were discussing him putting modern MT legs on an older Master-Touch.

I've been wanting to do this for awhile now... anybody know if they've made the modern MT leg kit available for sale yet?

Retro-Mod - a modification to a kettle that uses an old concept to a new grill or a new concept to an older grill. 

I am trying to use different methods in the definition because Brian, Craig and I were discussing him putting modern MT legs on an older Master-Touch.

@zavod44 @Craig help with the definition?

I am being told the term is Resto-Mod @zavod44 and @Craig any help with the definition?

Definition of Resto Mod

If any part of the car is updated, the car has been "restomodded," and not restored, such as "a nearly stock-appearing vehicle that has been fitted with late-model chassis, drivetrain, and conveniences." An "original restoration" puts a car in the same condition as when it was first offered for sale.

Love it. Especially the retro style handles. Love the pre 80's look single screw handles.

That looks really slick Jeff, great job! The dark wood handles with the grey looks so good.
