Unbelievable.  That is a lot of hard and smart and careful work. And what a prize you get for all of it!  That is a gorgeous SS.

Nice work on the restoration! I've got to ask what kind of welder you are using. (I just got a Hobart Auto-Arc 130 but I have to get some practice with scrap before I tackle a real project.)

My SS performer is getting a little loose. The frame design is really not very good. (The frame on my Sequoia is even worse, relying on tension from carriage bolts to hold it square.) I would be inclined to weld the joints and add some triangular braces to hold it square.
kettles, smokers...

Now THAT is what I call a restoration!  And a rescue.  Respect!

That is an amazing job.  You spent alot of time on that grill and it shows!  Now look what you have!  A super nice red Performer that anyone would be happy to have.  Thats the definition of respect, restore, and re-use.  Great job.  Too bad you can't get a small piece of Weber Kettle Club swag for a job well done.  Did you break it in yet?

Great idea Jeff! All I need is an address and a patch is on the way. Brickout, send me a PM and we'll work it out.
