Hot Rod BBQ Grill (Take a look Stacey David!!!)

Submitted by elde4527 on Sun, 2011-01-16 21:20

This 39(ish) Dodge front end masterpiece was made out of salvage yard scraps by my dad as a fun side project.

1939 Dodge truck front end bought at local junk yard
Hood lifts by remote control to provide shade while grilling and protection when not in use
Running boards fold out for serving surfaces
Propane tanks conveniently fit inside fender wells
Stainless V8 engine (with spark plugs, headers, moving fan, and thermostat housing for real time temp) opens and IS the Grill
Functional wheels to facilitate moving
Hooks to hang grilling utensils
Room to install a radio, ice chest, hitch
All the "motor" parts were off of other projects i.e. 56 Thunderbird valve covers, 77 corvette oil pan, 67 mustang thermostat housing
Painted and made completely at home, in garage
I'd estimate that the totall overall cost that it took to make was under a thousand.

Check it out in our local Colorado paper

That would be great, what all do you need to know? They are father son projects, made in garage and painted home or by close friends.
