    Anyone have a pattern for adding the stock cranks and drain holes for a 32 grill? I picked up a Brooksville shell and I need to add the holes but I don't have access to an original shell. If now, anyone willing to make one?

    Thanks,

    ... I have made a template from an original Shell in fact I have 2 that need to be done now. In order for the template to be exact to the compound curves it has to be pie cut and glued in the corners etc; I can try to post a photo if you like?

    No problem. Been busy trying to put a peak in the grill. Seems I can't hammer straight either.

    Thanks,

  6. I did my repop shell "free hand" with a Dremel. Studied an original hanging on the wall in a friends shop. Drew the general shape on the metal with a Sharpie, drilled a few starter holes and very carefully sculpted out the three openings. Turned out great.
