She looks mighty fine as is.

But, She needed that extra to make her more special.

First the bowl handle.

Next, the lid handle with taco shell removed to give that Euro/GregS look.

Yes, it is the Napoleon one I just got yesterday. Have not used it yet but the thing is heavy and looks real pretty in person.  I am used to CI stuff, so I am sure I will enjoy using it.

That looks real nice, dude!!

I think you need a "green line-up" pic ... Especially after your latest acquisition.

Damn, my Ivory M/T is my only kettle without wood handles ... I need to correct that.  ??? :o ;D ;)

Oh yeah, keep us updated on the Napoleon CI grate.  Their factory is just up the road from me.  I should stop in to their showroom.

Thanks!  Yes, I will add green line-up pics onto this Topic next week.  I need to practice taking pics more anyways.

@ relayer61 - Thanks!

I played around with diff. setting on my camera and croping features.   I even learned how I can turn my green into Ivory using filter. Just for fun  ;D ;D

@greenweb- Looks so much better with the "Uncel Al" white walls. Those Zav wood handle with the custom tool cut outs are a great idea and follow the lines of the stock handles.  Nice!

Thank You!  the Bowl handle was a special request from me to Zav.  As you know, both handles and whitewall trims were top notch quality. I am extremely happy with both.

I agree. The white walls are much better and the wood handles without the "taco" really set the tone for beautiful green color. What is the actual color called? Very nice, man!

Thanks!  It is called Spring Green. Slightly diff. tone than Grass Green on some Performers.
I got one more lid  handle for my Green top performer aswell. I got it unfinished and have applied some stain and varnish to give diff. tone. I probably not gana take  the taco shell off  to differentiate from this one.  But, sure looks lot better without the shell.

I'm going to be in Vancouver, BC in September and would love to bring back a Spring Green.  Just need to think of a way to hide it from the wife for a while.  Or perhaps convince her that I won it in a raffle....

This, to me, is beautiful. Just missing a mid-70'a limey.

Amazing.

I love it! I was wondering if Brian was making tool hook handles yet. I like the way those turned out. That Master Touch is stunning!

That looks great and I love that color.  Can you post the link or PM me how to get the whitewalls for the wheels?

I just bought a new black MT yesterday and have not put it together yet but I would love to have my wheels look like that.

@RottiGuy ,  seeing your location .... right on the border, you might want to act fast ....
However, based on my observations .... Most Americans do not have passports, so, I think you will be okay ... Maybe I'm ignorant and wrong in this assumption ....
It's my understanding that these are a Limited Edition ....  ??? :o ;D ;) ;)

Thank you all for your compliments.  I have been preoccupied with something. Big gamble if I may say so. Check my new Topic- I DID SOMETHING UNTHINKABLE.

@MacEggs. Yes I was a little worried myself, but was at my weber dealer this mourning, he assured me that he had lots in every colour, I have seen the green and ivory, the smoke and slate were in boxes , but before I buy, I will check out the other 2 colors.
