I'm super stoked on how this ultimately turned out!
I attached the links to the threads, that helped me get it to this condition.
SS Performer Bowl & Lid Question (http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/weber-kettles-accessories/ss-performer-bowl-lid-question/msg121046/#msg121046)
Looking for a green lid and a couple other parts. (http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/member-sales-trades/looking-for-a-green-lid-and-a-couple-other-parts/msg129561/#msg129561)
SS Performer Propane Conversion (http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/weber-kettles-accessories/ss-performer-propane-conversion/msg130894/#msg130894)
Thanks to everyone for the offers and suggestions, to help me finally have this awesome SS Performer!

It needed an ash catcher assembly, so I settled on the new style, directly from Weber.

The CS gal was nice enough to include free shipping and AND a free set of lid bale rollers, with hardware! The lid bale assembly is original, with the exception of the rollers and SS hardware to mount it to the bowl.
Burner tube and bracket cleaned up nicely, just added a couple new SS fittings for some bling.

The top of this refurbished tank is the only ugly spot on it. Every other part of it looks new. The regulator and everything down the line (including the ignitor) is original. I saved the tank fitting from the gas grill I used for my cart.

The ash sweep is SS and I didn't think that polishing it like new was worth the effort, or necessary.

It fired up on the very first click of the ignitor!

Killer job Jason! That's a sweet looking Performer!

Almost too clean to use, great job

Thanks for all of the great compliments!
I have a couple little finishing touches to take care of, but I'm ready to put it to work now. The inside of the bowl was probably the biggest chore to clean up, but worth the effort for sure.

With that green kettle, black wheels, and stainless steel, it reminds me of the "Bullitt" mustang:

Very sharp looking job there. The reflection of the ferns in the lid Tex's up that shot nicely.

Nice stripe! But with BRG, I think the union jack is more appropriate:
