Weber Genesis Platinum, I bought in Wausau,Wisconsin. Will be drastically modified.

Really nice work there.

 

[MarkCuda]

Thank you, it will be one in a Million Weber SS Platinums

With it just setting there, is there any wobble side to side or is it pretty sturdy?

 

[Bruce]

I would think that thing is extremely solid.

It's as solid as a brick sh it house

That's a term we used in the 60s and 70s growing up.

 

[Bruce]

Sorry Mark, you never Grew Up.

 

[Cody Bratton]

I know what a brick house is! I use the term as well!

I figured it would sure it right up. I was pushing my frame side to side and you could see the gaps in the joints expand and contract with the wobble.

How are you going to finish the welds?

????

 

[Bruce]

I think they look pretty nice and don't really need grinding for the most part. Maybe a little buffing.

 

[MarkCuda]

I didn't weld all the corner joints solid, I figured it didn't need it.

 

[Cody Bratton]

I typed different than what I was thinking. Where you’ve ground/cut it.

It’s been a long day…

 

[MarkCuda]

I'm 99% sure I'm having the cookbox and lid sides powdercoated.
Do I want semi-gloss for both items, or a different color ?
I was thinking semi-gloss black for both

 

[Bruce]

Maybe a satin on the cookbox if they offer that.

 

[Cody Bratton]

Have you decided on lid color yet?

 

[MarkCuda]

Yup, lid sides the same ?
Probably red.
Snap On

 

[Cody Bratton]

Lower rack powder coated red to match the lid? End caps and cookbox in gray to match the control panel. That is my “wild” modification thought.

 

[MarkCuda]

Lower rack powder coated red to match the lid?

I like that idea

No gray, please

 

[Bruce]

What about the end handles Mark. Are you going to switch out to black ones? Or dye some RED???

 

[MarkCuda]

What about the end handles Mark. Or dye some RED???

I'm lovin' the red color idea

 

[Cody Bratton]

I was actually just looking at some heat resistant red plastic paint, in case you wanted to do knobs and igniter button. Red casters? Rather the wheel material in red?
