Busy day as I'm sure some of you have been reading.
A few weeks back @mdb240 got a grill hoping for the older blue.
When it wasn't what he wanted it was offered to me.
What was I doing with it, I don't know. But Weberitis wouldn't let me say no.
He also picked up a black SSP for me for 25.00 close to him.
He was coming to NJ to pickup his Red MBH from @james1787 .
From the pictures I saw it looked beat up. But don't let pictures fool you.
Well @603kettle, who was the agent for my Red Mist Outrider, mentioned to me he was trying to put together a blue to send to his sister for a Christmas present. I told him he could have the one I will be getting. He picked up the Red Mist today and I picked up the blue with 2 others.
Upon getting home I was taken in by the blue. I went right to work on it.
If I hadn't already promised it, I would be keeping this. @603kettle this is yours.
But I would be rethinking letting this one go. I put about 2 1/2 hours into it so far.
I will finish it all up and get pictures before the trade for the Red Mist Outrider.
From PA to NJ to NY to NH to?
What do you Fellas think?

Still wet. I was trying to get it done before the sunset











Even the lid vent came out nice.

Great Job on the cleanup; It's a beautiful blue. But this...

I think that this is really the star in the blockbuster Tri-State swap.

Seeking a Black Sequoia I know I know, I'd settle for just the tabbed no leg grill

It looks OK!  That's the problem with the blues, they just look ok in pictures, but look fucking awesome in person.

I definitely agree with that

I gave my brother the blue Gen 2 performer, and now he's keeping it in the garage because it looks so sweet. I think he just likes the fact that it looks so good next to his blue Mustang.
