The Glen Blue Platinum

[Dave in KC]

Some of you have likely seen this by now, but I am sure many have not.
This is my latest ground up resto.
Huge thanks to Jeff @ http://www.ipe-porcelain.com/ for doing
the lid redo- much improved from the faded black. Also, thanks to Charles
Bouchard for the wheel inserts.

Huge thanks to all the restoration guys here that shared tips with me over the
years also. Bruce, and Jon especially. Without the knowledge I have gained here,
work like this would not be possible. Rehabbing grills and doing it the right
way takes a certain appreciation for the craft. Going the extra steps to make
sure you do a top notch job, and produce great value for your customers.
It's not only the x's and o's you guys teach, it's also the way you all spread the
attitude to strive and be better than the average grill hacks that peddle their
sub-par flips.

That is by far the coolest Platinum I have ever seen!

 

[Chris Allingham]

Wow, that is a striking look!

 

[Bruce]

Truly unique with that color. Very cool. And that is going to be a keeper for you right?

 

[Kevin L (NKY)]

The most impressive restore I have seen yet,at least till your next one comes along. Great attention to details.

 

[BryanO]

Nice job!!

 

[Bruce]

Yah, that red igniter button adds a little pizzaz as well. It is going to be tough to beat restore like that one with the custom lid color and all. Something to shoot for.

 

[Daniel Maxton]

That is beautiful!

 

[Rich G]

Gorgeous!

 

[Colin]

Squirt, squirt, squirt!

 

[Yair Halamish]

Beautiful color.

 

[PatrickG]

wow looks great
nice job

 

[Ben P]

Insanely gorgeous!!!

 

[BrandonHudson]

Unreal!

What model year is that? I don't recognize the cart design.

 

[Jon Tofte]

Over the top, fantastic restore/custom work, for sure Now it needs one of those limited run Glen Blue 26" kettles to sit alongside of it!

 

[BobbyG]

this is so awesome! What did the porcelain company do? Color or make a whole new lid?

 

[Bruce]

Unreal!

What model year is that? I don't recognize the cart design.

I think that is a 1998 model Genesis Platinum. But I could be wrong. It was basically a one year run. THey had another similar (odd) Premium in the early 2000s....I can't keep them straight.

 

[Bruce]

Dave, please make sure this build thread makes the sticky for grill builds.

 

[ChuckH]

You know, I don’t own a gasser, have never owned a gasser, have never really had any desire to own a gasser, but that one there could very easily change my mind. It looks freaking good!

 

[J Grotz]

That is the finest restoration ever. If you don't keep it, Weber should buy it from you. I would buy it just to display in my living room, but that might lead to divorce court.

THey had another similar (odd) Premium in the early 2000s....I can't keep them straight.

I'm guessing it's a 2001-02 Genesis Platinum C because of the handle/lid side design, the Genesis Platinum badging and the five flavorizers. Though the carts look identical.
