"Yes" vote from me. I didn't go quite that far last year, but I did a major restoration to my V2-22 and got it all done in a month and a half---and that was around working a full time job. Like someone said earlier, you just have to stay motivated. Good luck, and keep the pictures coming!

Yes, call or email them. they have the rub rail for the 26s, 26d, 19, 26x and 26m. Yours might, or might not use the same product. They should know.

I never found a brand of sausage that didn't irritate my throat, so I went back to smoking cigars. :wink:
