    That front bumper on your Bar-B-Q grill is in a lot better shape than what is found on the front of a lot of drivable Mavericks these days :yup:

    That is by far, the coolest grill I have ever seen, and the finish is better that a lot of cars I see on the road.
    Now, all you need are headers to exhaust all of the smoke...............also, the wheels you have on the grill.............what are they, I like them A lot!
    You are extremely talented my Friend.

    We built one at work and it was cool but it chars the paint pretty quick from the heat. Make sure you open that hood all the way up before starting the fire. We made it so you could tow it around like a trailer.

    there is no brand man..lol


    has no brand! They are manufactured by some small businesses for years, and are simply called gauchas wheels.(or RODAS gaúchas,in portuguese)

    I know a guy named "German" in the south, which still manufactures these wheels .. since the 70s! I can try contact him,if you want

    are not forged nor has technology for the manufacturing .. from what I know, are only cast in the old way..

    https://www.google.com/search?q=rod...cO5fa4AP4loGIDQ&ved=0CDUQsAQ&biw=1920&bih=940

    and no..cruize illusion,..we do not use grills indoors .. do not worry ...

    as you can see in the pictures,(or not:)) the grill, is not indoor .. we just do not like to barbecue in the rain .. or better, we like to make BBQ also on rainy days ! :D

    is that I did not want to post pictures of my house, but the new grill.

    and that black ceiling is a small exhaust fan ..just in case.. lol :thumbs2::thumbs2::thumbs2:

    Looks great, as throughout this build I have been blown away by the attention to detail you put into the car...............If I was to build a street car, your car is the one I would try and copy.....IMHO:thumbs2::thumbs2::thumbs2::thumbs2:
