The Boys played to win. That was a tough loss. We might be seeing each other again in Tampa. :)

those look awesome! If they work as good, you are in good shape.....

you must have a pretty cool fabricator that will let you come by and take pics and stuff....
Just my opinion, I could be wrong!

We are waiting on 4 more locking handles that will go on the chamber doors. Also we are trying to locate some SS cool touch handles we need 8. We have a few more cosmetic features we want to add then blast and paint. And the stacks.

I hope she is not a fuel hog!

Just an Idea, for my firebox I went to the local hardware store and found some of those cheap welding chipping hammers, cut off the hammer part and WALA I had a handle.....LOL

There not stainless, but saved some bucks. I gave less than 5 bucks a piece for the whole hammer and the standard steel springs with freight was going to be more than that.... :lol:

What should we do to trick this beast out? Give me some ideas. Should we do a train theme with a cattle pusher on the front? A roof over the warmer box with some windows? Old school steam stacks? What ya think?

It kinda reminds me of a big bomb or missile, maybe paint it up to look like one. You could paint the pit part black and the fire box to look like flames...

I think the architecture sort of speaks for itself as is...no sure I would add much more on - but decisions like this take a considerable amount of brain power. I'll noodle on it. :wink:
