The grilling area is done in stainless steel resembling an engine block. There are valve covers, exhaust manifolds, spark plugs and a water pump. The pump came from a ‘65 Mustang, the plugs from Elder’s ‘49 Studebaker and the manifolds were taken from a ‘70 Bronco. The entire makeover cost him around $900. Elder earlier said…
You had 30 guys walking around it and they’re pretty much in awe. One guy said, ‘Don’t you have a stereo on it?’ … Another guy asked, ‘Why don’t you have a beer chest?’Willie Elder now plans to add a radio, an ice chest and a trailer hitch to his 400-pound Hot Rod BBQ grill. In case you don’t have a thing for collector cars and are clueless about what to do with the one catching dust in your garage, then how about turning it into a piece of automotive art, just like Elder did with the Dodge pickup?
