Hopefully this is the final version of the blue ssp so i decided to start a new thread. Three performers done and 2 more to go. Need to move on to the next project. Shooting for 3 weeks to get the other 2 done.

Oh, darn. Missed the backside of the wheels. And you were so close! Perhaps a contrasting dark gray if not the blue.
Seriously though, that looks awesome!

Quote from: addicted-to-smoke on April 09, 2018, 04:43:46 PMYeah the wheels didn't last more than 2 hrs. It just look too wild and distracting. Went back to the off-white. Just ordered some black instead. Probably will go back to the black ash pan also.

All the blue accents are a little too matchy-matchy for my tastes. But great execution on the mods!

I agree with you - like it all but the blue wheels and ash pan were a bit too far for me.

Replace "Tacky" with "Badass."
Because that is badass. Nice job.

Blue isn't one of my colors for kettles but this really kicks it up a bit. Very nice. If I ever find a good SSP again I'll need to contract you to trick it out.

Nothing tacky about that unless you think a fully restored 71 Chevelle Super Sport becomes tacky because of the custom paint job. Love the color.

Quote from: qwesthunter on April 17, 2018, 05:10:21 PMEnded up using the 16" shelf on the redhead and used a 22" on the blue. It's a bit overwhelming with all the stainless so i added a black trim on the lip to tone it down a bit.

I am LOL. Growing up our first kettle was a redhead so they hold a special place in my heart. I do love the blues as well.
