So after deciding to trim down the herd from 8 to 7, 7 to 6, i finally decided 5 performers is more than enough for me. A black, green and a copper found a new home. I'll just concentrate updating and customizing my performers. The blue is almost done. Just have to replace the aluminum diamond plate as it's beginning to look busy and stale. Maybe some minor highlight painting is also on the horizon.

Igniter and regulator installed in the back for a cleaner look.

Man! That's a sweet rig. Very nice job on that one!
Very nice, as usual Jules. Love all the details and mods happening there.
That first pic, I know it's just glare from the camera angle but it looks like you'd changed the SS top to black chrome ...
What years did they make these carts? This thing looks great!

Not sure how to answer. Are you being facetious?
It's an original Performer modified with a few bits from later generations (logo, igniter, tool hooks) and more (custom stuff). That frame is 1990-2004.

I think from 1990-2004. That's just my 2018 updated version.
Well I was assuming the diamond plate was added and the logo and hooks looked modern but all the rest is factory? The SS top and SS sides? I know the kettle is newer...

Have you waxed or polished that? I'd like to but not sure of a product that will hold up to the heat

Just steel wool and soap.
Nicely done! That Blue looks amazing.
Great looking setup, blue really looks sharp

The Blue kettle was MADE for an SSP frame....I have an extra red ssp that may get a swap for a blue that I'm picking up thursday..

No. Several additional details like wheels, bolts, that "towel bar/cooking tools bar" on the end are modifications. That frame design and stainless steel table top are what we refer to as the SSP: Stainless Steel Performer, 1990-2004.
By far one of the best custom I've seen. That's a fine looking rig.

Thanks for trading it to me, and for clearing out my yard.

Thanks. Although you're a weber purist which I'm not, you set a very high standard when it comes to kettle mods. Your mods are, and still the ones i gravitated since joining wkc. This grill will be polished and updated shortly so stay tuned.

Thanks but let's not get carried away here. Obviously you haven't seen many of the outstanding mods from other members.

Thanks for the compliment but me a weber purist?? :o :o ;D I don't think so.

I usually like everything original but this is awesome!

Love the blues... This one is on my list..
Ongoing update on the blue ssp. Aluminum diamond plate bottom rack looked too busy and out of place so i had to replace it with something more fitting to the ssp moniker. Now it's slowly becoming a true ssp. Few finishing touches to follow.
