Thats one of my favorites! Top 3 for sure maybe #1. I'm going to build a grill specifically for this style lid. When I get my 3 favorites built I'll see which I like best.

I don't hate it, but I don't like it very much either.I’d agree. It’s a hard lid not to love. If only the stripes were blue

That's what's great about Weber having made several different models and colors. Everyone can pick their favorite model and color to build their favorite vision/version of Weber Grills.

Now the maroon version of that lid looks fantastic to me. I find it a little strange that I come across a lot more of the gray lids than the maroon ones.

I like the maroon version also. I have my eye on one for sale. I don't like it as much as the gray but I do like it a lot. Both are high on my list because I think the stripes add cool vintage character. I like that they don't have platinum series printed on them also.

The stripes make a huge difference for me, so much so that regular lids don't appeal to me very much any more.

Definitely cool! Your black platinum grill is still one of my all time favorites

I agree, she was a beauty. I've been on the lookout for a nice Platinum series lid ever since selling it.

I hope you find one. I'd like to see another 1000/1200 restoration from you.
Steve Hoch

Thanks, I'll stumble into one eventually. I'm hoping it will be a maroon one or another black.
Steve Hoch

Of course I wouldn't mind seeing you do one as well. I can't be the only one willing to do start to finish restoration threads. That's seems to be what we need a little more of here.
Josh Dekubber

I'll be happy to do more. I have three planned right now and I have most everything I need for the restorations. After that we'll see but I have several so I'll probably do some donation Genesis x000 grills after I finish my personal line up.
Steve Hoch

What could you possibly be missing to restore those?
Josh Dekubber

Possibly some SS goodies from Dave. I'll have to see what I have and what I need. Oh I'll need some Steve Hoch white walls also. I think that's it.
Steve Hoch

You can count on me for whitewalls. I am still working on the ones for the older style wheel that you sent me. As I like to say with a lot of not so easy things that I do, there is some math involved.
Josh Dekubber

I'm excited for them. Both styles. When paired with freshly painted black wheels together they make a big difference on the appearance of a nice restoration.

As far as the Zbars go, they are pass/fail for me. Meaning, if there is the slightest amount of rust on one I will not reuse it because you will see the imperfections in it even after you repaint it. The only thing I haven't done, but think I will, is have the ones that Dave makes powder coated to match the original finish.

Looks like I found some more 9930s. I'll pick it up next week when I'm back in Washington if it's still available.

Weber Summit Platinum D6...top of the line 20 years ago, $2500 new...has served us more than well! If this grill could talk!!! My son used to call it the Steak Table when he was a wee one. Now that...

I have several sets with zero rust that I can use and should. Most that I have come across are rust free. I like Dave's but I see no reason to not reuse the ones I have. So we'll see but I will definitely use Dave's flavorizer bars. I think I have one extra set.
