Jules V. -  how did you secure the bowls?  Did you drill them ?

You have to drill holes for the bowl brackets and also for the gas assist. You also have to cut the handle and conceal it.

Those are embossed 16 gauge stainless sheets. Should be available at your local metal stores. The panels are mounted  the same as the original panel.

@brewtownbeatdown that red mist performer is sweet but I really think you should ditch the nylon handle and dress it up with some Zav wood.

Apparently I just learned that the non gas assist SSP’s frames do not have swivel casters? I’ve got one that I mounted my WSM on. The bowl had been swapped out, but it did have the charcoal bin, lp tank bracket and valve cover. I never gave it much thought until someone on Facebook was looking for info on one.
What’s under the lid of the non gassers???

This black metal shelf-thingy (the piece below the charcoal bin in the pic).  It drops right into where the lp tank, etc go on the gas assist model. On the schematics, it is the elusive part number 39.

Red only came in the SSP style.  However, if you like the newer style carts, the bowls are interchangeable.  Red Performers/bowls aren’t easy to come by, especially in grate condition.  A little patience & luck is required.

This is my idea of the perfect Performer:




Took me about a year to find the donors to complete it.  Gen.2 Performer frame with red SSP kettle + Gen. 4 metal table & lid bale assembly + black Target handle.

I've thought about doing one of these.  I have a Red SSP and a black 2007 Performer with the upgraded table.
