This beauty arrived this week and was the last puzzle piece, completing my 18" MBH collection. It has a long history with WKC members, going back to the start of the WKC Forum. Further details about it will be revealed in an upcoming article for the Grill Gallery.
This has been an arduous three year journey, consisting of many hours scanning OfferUp, LetGo. Marketplace and Craigs List. Also many weekends spent at Estate Sales. Some, like this one, were sourced from fellow WKC members. I now have every color 18" MBH produced. (green, blue, lime, avocado, red, yellow, coppermist, black and a 18" Custom).
A family photo of the collection will be coming this summer but for now, the spotlight is on this 1980 B Code.

I love this. Congrats @Jim! I have every US color in my collection of Mighty 18s (except for the Custom)... green and Custom are the only MBHs I'm missing to complete the MBH series. Can't wait to see the updated family pic!!
