Found another little stray in need of a home

[Jeff Beitinger]

EO code 1000. Originally listed for $5.
She didn't charge me anything, as she just wanted it gone lol.
Actually in a lot better shape than the pic suggests, except for that cross member. That is toast, so I'm gonna have to find a shop to weld a new one on for me. Missing the drip tray, but I think I have one for an 1000 lying around somewhere.
Once I'm done with the Spirit, this one is next.

Nice Redhead! Weld in crossmember or use some tube nuts (the kind used on the lower crossmembers).

Do those actually work in that application? I thought about doing that to try and save my Genesis but dismissed it due to the high heat proximity and continual expansion/contraction

I do know that the ~2001 Platinum had a top crossmember that came attached similarly straight from the factory.

Nice pickup. I don't think that wood is salvageable though

I have not used them on the cookbox crossmember myself but Bruce has. He made a nice video showing the process. Good point on the expansion and contraction, though.

Lol. Of course not, just make new stuff.
