Not mine, but I'm seriously considering something similar if I can talk myself into cutting and drilling an SSP frame. And actually my bigger issue is that I'd have to source that second SS piece with the bowl cutout ... I DO have a second SSP but plan to keep that frame intact.

I thought about making one of these as i have 3 extra ssp frames in excellent condition that I'm hoarding.  My only concern is moving it around even with 4 full size wheels. Should be a very simple build.  Should i build one for the sake of it?

That is an awesome mod!  In many ways, I wish I never saw it.  :-\  As I'm looking at my deck, I don't think I have enough room nor the nerve to suggest it to the wife!

This is  my first ssp mod that i came up with. It's a midget(27") off road from the recycle bin. Most of my mods turn out the way they are since I try to only use recycled or re-purposed materials.

Parts that were used include:  4 cabinet/drawer pulls, toaster oven panel, ss panel from a utility cart, wheels from dead lawnmower, and a utensil holder. Excluding fasteners and all the weber items, the build cost roughly $50.  Don't need to spend a lot of money to do a mod.  Time spent is a totally different story.

No, because the only way mine would be nicer is if you don't make yours.

Ironically, I'd be doing it to save some space, as one SSP frame is smaller than two!

How about you build yours first so i can make sure to make mine not as nice?  Was about to start and have it done by this afternoon but my elbow is not cooperating. Maybe it wasn't meant to be.

Ok snapped a few shots. So this is the Performa'Cado 3.0 beginning stages. Flipped the ssp around and installed backwards (donno if it will stay further mods will decide)and the other day i made a bigger better basket. More will come with insparation and necessity. But the Cado will forever more remain firmly planted in an ssp

I had a dream last night, that I was modifying an SSP frame. In my dream, the cross piece that holds the large SS door clicked together somehow with the main top rails. I thought, "Neat, they didn't even have to bolt it in, let alone weld it!"

And then I woke up.

That is an awesome idea. I also like the sign used for the lower shelf.

Thanks, KettleBroBro, I don’t believe tagging in the app works anymore.

Is that a Stainless Steel threaded rod for the lawnmower wheels? Looks like it. Some of the other hardware looks like stainless also. . If so, it adds a nice look to an already nice mod.
