Big and Ugly?!

I posted an intro in the Cattle Call area but I wanted to start a thread in here to show everyone what I am working on.
She is going into the paint booth today so I will have other pics to add to these. Sorry I forgot to take pics of my fire basket, I will also add that one in here once I get home.

Looking good so far, like everyone else, I love the wrench handles.

[Thermal Mass]

Geez! You are making some of us look bad....:shock:

Going to be an awesome UDS, thanks for sharing. :clap2:

Nice!!!!!!

 

[daninnewjersey]

Wow...heck of a paint job....I guess that's just a drum smoker then...definitely NOT ugly.

 

[ShencoSmoke]

I will drop mine off at your paint booth next week....

 

[JIMMYCHOPIT]

All that is left to do now is reinstall the wrech lid handle, add a little old school pinstriping :crazyI know, crazy talk right?)and drop in some heat and meat!
I will post pics of it when the striping is all finished and she's all smoked up (more than likely sometime this weekend):-D
The acorn chimney cap is an antique wrought iron piece, and it's just on there to keep the elements out when not in use.

If the sun would shine around this place I would get a good pic of the pearl and metallic :shock:
