I may try to pick this one up for the lid if I can grab it for cheep when I return to AZ. It is reversed color combo of my gray lid.

I can't decide if I like the creative doors or not

Beautiful. Also gotta say you made the gray durawood look really great with that combination head.

Interesting use of the tool hooks

I thought about that and I don't think it would be worth the money to people. The raw wood cost $150. I'm extremely particular so I took my sweet time cutting every piece to exactly the same dimension and then spent days sanding every piece by hand. Getting to know each slat personally. Plus cost of everything to finish the wood another $50 so about $200 plus my time for several days or let's say at least three full days. I don't think anyone would pay my breakeven price let alone turn a small profit.

Fwiw, Michelangelo was notoriously late with most of his projects...just saying. I'd wait at least 3 years for your work.

How'd you learn these skills?

How'd you learn these skills?

I just take my time and enjoy the process. I have always liked to build things. As far as these older Webers I have learned a lot of tips and tricks here that have made it easier for me to succeed on these. Im thankful for the knowledge and kindness here. It's been extremely helpful to me.

@Josh Dekubber - hear me out. Custom door red lid on a platinum frame with wood tables. The ultimate Weber hot rod.

A stainless steel frame would be cool but I'd have to cut it down to the size of a 1000. The larger frames are less appealing to me.

The table extensions just unbolt and walaah, 1000 with a SS frame

ok, I'll stop now, lol

But this did just make me think, I wonder what a platinum would look like with durawood tables... never gave that any consideration, until right now...

 

[Cody Bratton]

I don’t hate it. But I don’t love it either

It just doesn't look right. Maybe if you used wooden trays that resemble the original tables it would look "right."

That's still not quite a 1000 frame

Yeah. Wider underneath the cookbox. Modifications could be made to exactly replicate it though.

The end caps on the cart, look way off. I think if the z bars were stainless it would look different. I do think the durawood would look pretty good on the bottom though.

This is however making a strong case for painting a frame silver. I have a silver C in SS that may get that treatment that I’ll be affectionately calling The Tin Man.
