I'm pretty sure the first couple of pics are showing Transparent Aluminum.

Trying to get a decent picture of the finished product, but I now feel pressured because of the "how to photograph your kettle" thread.

I am having trouble finding some swimsuit models to work with.

Thank God Sadly, Golly and Hogsy were not available!      :o

The Tailgate Chicks are always available.
And they can do a structural test on the new top.

The Tailgate Sisters were also unavailable, so, here're the pics anyway...

I was inspired by the Bay Area team as we discussed a CL Performer that was missing its table.

It's hard to tell from the pics, but it's a dark green, with specks of red and some light green veins that bring out the color in DZ's eyes...

You should really see it in person. Stop by any time.

Looking good! What's the material?
Title: Re: Plastic?
Post by: dazzo on March 21, 2014, 05:42:48 PM

Thanks guys!

I took it for granite you knew the material    ;D

I think it weighs almost as much as the Performer itself.

This is absolutely amazing.   I'm not a huge fan of the Performer grills, but this MOD could make me want one again!

Gorgeous. 

Did you fabricate it yourself?  That's a lot of handwork on those curves, I'll bet. 
Title: Re: Plastic?
Post by: dazzo on March 24, 2014, 11:35:06 AM

Thanks!

My brother and I happened to be talking about it, and he made it happen. I dropped the plastic off to him and his buddy used it as a template.

The granite itself isn't bad, the labor (and cost) comes from the cutting. So, no, I didn't do it, and it was actually cheaper than buying a replacement. I think I made out all right.
