Got a Blue...Copper had to go.

So after deciding to trim down the herd from 8 to 7, 7 to 6,  i finally  decided 5 performers is more than enough for me.  A black, green and a copper found a new home.  I'll just concentrate updating and customizing   my performers. The blue is almost done. Just have to replace the aluminum diamond plate as it's beginning to look busy and stale. Maybe some minor highlight painting is also on the horizon.






Igniter and regulator installed in the back for a cleaner look.

Man!  That's a sweet rig.  Very nice job on that one!

Very nice, as usual Jules. Love all the details and mods happening there.

That first pic, I know it's just glare from the camera angle but it looks like you'd changed the SS top to black chrome ...
It's the iconic symbol for the backyard. It's family/friends, food and fun. What more do you need to feel everything [is] going to be all right. As long as we can still have a BBQ in our backyard, the world seems a bit of a better place. At least for that moment. -reillyranch

What years did they make these carts? This thing looks great!

Not sure how to answer. Are you being facetious?

It's an original Performer modified with a few bits from later generations (logo, igniter, tool hooks) and more (custom stuff). That frame is 1990-2004.

I think from 1990-2004. That's just my  2018 updated version.

Well I was assuming the diamond plate was added and the logo and hooks looked modern but all the rest is factory? The SS top and SS sides? I know the kettle is newer...

Have you waxed or polished that? I'd like to but not sure of a product that will hold up to the heat

No. Several additional details like wheels, bolts, that "towel bar/cooking tools bar" on the end are modifications. That frame design and stainless steel table top are what we refer to as the SSP: Stainless Steel Performer, 1990-2004.
