That Texan looks killer! I love that Weber retained the white wheels for a time in the early 60s. What's the first cook going to be?

I've watched the progress from pickup to restore. It was in pretty damned good shape to begin with, now it's showroom stunning! I think this makes the oldest 1960s 22 black kettle in the club now?

Congrats Greg, couldn't happen to a better guy!
Not everyone deserves to know the real you. Let them criticize who they think you are.
