Check out the modification this guy did on an 18.5 kettle. At first, I had to do a double take. I thought it was a Jumbo Joe.

If you get that Ramsfan I have a ash ring and bucket for one. You can make it a gold.

I've got a set of short legs that I have as a spare for my 18.5 red (1960s era) for fun and travel. No lid bale or tuck 'n carry modifications. I won't be drilling any holes in to this one.

I got my new to me  '99 Coca Cola logo Jumbo Joe this week. I will post pics of it soon. It's an awesome mod to an 18.5 kettle that G did.

That's my '97 red SJS Budweiser logo. That's the one that will get eventually become the mini red bullet. The wheels there are to my red 18.5 that I am still trying to restore. Having issues with perfecting the white walls. (http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/04/21/bahanu3e.jpg)
