More progress pics

Got few outer skins on
Water pan welded up with fill and drain holes
Exhaust stacks tack welded and fit up. Will weld in later and build collection boxes around CC outlet to seal in.

this is the only thing I could come up with but I know it's not what you're looking for ...
Kason Door Latch

Yeah those are current latches. Id prefer a rotating compression latch

So so close to wrapping this up. Got everything stitch welded. Next is epoxy all seams to fully seal in and make everything smooth for paint. Had to upgrade rear end as original axle bent due to weight. Went from 2 to 6 bearings. Plan to make a removable motor mount in next week so I can get this thing mobil.

Also got logo burned put for front doors. Also putting an american flag on left side. Went and picked out a 300lb pig for first big cook on July 4th

Been a bit since the test fire. Made some changes to FB and transfer chute size. Decreased heat up time in half.



finally able to get some color on it today. Used custom coat truck bed liner in bright purple. Daughter picked color. Plan on getting logos done tomorrow in Black.

Also had a new fireboard mount 3d printed. Much better than factory provided one

Finally got finishing touches on. Right door slightly open which is why letters look off

Just wondering if you were able to finish it up and get any cooks in with it? I am planning a gravity feed build with temp controlled fan, but with more of an offset look instead of the cabinet look that most smaller offsets go with and I am trying to nail down air flow.
