Greg, That's a beautiful job you did on the 1000 and a great story too. I lost my Dad 35 years ago and my Mom 55 years ago so I know what you're going through.
Here's a picture of my 1999 LX1000 I bought brand new, it to is RCPlanebuyer equipped and still has the original burners. They truly are great grills.
That's beautiful. Looks just like mine except for the green top. You've really taken care of it.
When I first went to an older Weber I thought I would miss having an enclosed space (with doors) below the grill. But now I've come to really prefer the open bottom on the older webers. The enclosed bottom was always a dust and dirt catcher on my old non webers. The open bottom is much easier to keep clean and is just as functional.
