Thank you Rich! I like yours alot too. I need to find a nice NG 1000 or 2000 for my place in Arizona. Looks like you have a perfect covered area for all your grills. That would be nice also. I'll continue to share my progress here.
That is quite a collection! Very nice!
That makes sense. I can't argue with that. That said I might like to try some stuff that's easily changed back. Not because I'm trying to piss anybody off or ruin a classic. I've had this build envisioned in my head and now because I found an extra nice Grill I shouldn't do it. I appreciate your opinion and everybody elses on the matter. Personally I don't see that changing out the dura wood for real wood is ruining a classic but I understand not everybody will agree with that. If I found a classic barn find car I would also swap out the bias ply tires for new radials.
You know Jim I've read other posts that you've written in and seen people have to call you out for your attitude problem. You might want to take a step back and think before you type. You can buy your own Grill and do whatever you want with it. I promise if I don't agree with what you do im not going to tell you you're wrong.
Yep, just do what you're going to do. It's your grill and your money.
That is a great find. I can't get over the fact that WA state had 8% sales tax back in '97.
Thank you Mark! Also thank you for sharing. I can't wait to see your 2000 all finished. I bet it looks so very nice!!
Thanks Dan I appreciate that!
Absolutely Cody!
I'm trying to decide what I want to do. I have a high level of respect for you as a person and for your knowledge that you have acquired over the years and thankfully share with me. This grill is so cool to me as is or with real wood. The look on my wife's face when she came out in the garage and saw it for the first time was priceless. This is her favorite color and I'm not just talking about green. We have a antique multi drawer cabinet and some other old hard wood furniture that we refished together and custom painted the exact same green. It's like a dark teal in person. I wasn't expecting that and I wasn't expecting my wife to love it immediately. We both agreed the grey durawood looked great with the green lid. She also got excited about coming out in the garage and working on the wood slats and butcher block serving trays together and thats very appealing to me if we can work on it together that's good for our marriage and we can both share and appreciate it together. I hope that you are not disappointed in the final outcome. I appreciate all your help and value your opinion.
