Randy, I know this is your first resto so I will be gentle. Everything looks perfect except for one thing. The hard truth is this: that's not the proper grate for that grill. Not stock at all. Seems like the seller ripped you off. I'll be happy to help you by trading it out for the proper grate-- I've got one for a 2003 SS Performer that I restored. PM me your address so we can swap.
;-)
Thanks Mike, I added the grates myself, so its not the seller's fault. I guess I got the wrong one
I can't believe you would actually do that for me, but if you did that, then you wouldn't have your original grate and I would feel bad, but thanks anyway, I'll just deal with my aftermarket grates....
