It's OK. The lid handle and ash pan didn't match anyway      :o

Now we know why the demand, and prices, has gone up.

I'd like to know how he made the cuts so clean without losing all the porcelain.

The ones that i've cut weren't even close to being that clean

 I've never tried cutting one , would a small fast Moto tool give you clean results  ?

  I always thought a Weber hood scoop would look sweet on the Bronco :, maybe some smokey Joe hubcaps too

Destroy a red kettle and turn your car into a hooptie...common sense is so rare it should be a frickin' super hero power.

a cutoff wheel will give you a decently smooth edge. I didn't know the Purist group rolls like that haha.

Maybe he turned the rest into a pizza oven?

Possibly. Seems like it would take forever though.
I used a jigsaw with a metal blade. It was terrible :(

Yeah someone has confused the meaning of the word "purist" with its polar opposite.

That domain shown in the picture is gone.

Apparently, butchering functional, iconic and collectable kettles for the juvenile fad of deleting a car's drivability and resale value wasn't a sustainable business model.

Cuts car wheels for a living in L.A. He ain't using a jigsaw or Dremel here!

My guess is it is fake since that website does not load.fake as in,this is not a real business. Seems one life was taken.

i hope you are correct, but given the context - i don't think it is

I think the guy's just not that tech savvy

i'll keep digging

I call faked. The website doesn't exist (domain isn't even registered, you could buy it right now), and the supposedly cut steel and porcelain look too good. Now, I could see molding some plastic to a kettle lid to get the basic shape...

The URL is available?  Sweet I can get started with this new business venture and I won't have any setbacks

Which one did he cut up? The MBH with a plastic handle or the MT lid.....
