Hey Brian
What are those 3 cylinder shape things on the edge of the deck on the right hand side of the photo?
Cheers

They are old charcoal holders.  My parents had them back in the seventies when I was a kid.  I got them just because they bring back memories.  One has coshell, one has kingsford and one has hardwood lump.  I found two of them on ebay and one came with the coppermist.

Sweeeeeeet collection there Brian......You really have an army of grills there. I'm guessing the SJ lids are light fixtures, super cool idea.!!!!!

Its been a while here now and yet to post my family portrait
with spring here and summer on its way i cleaned them up and assemblede them for their inagural pic

Sweet collection Golly, what is that old car hiding in there?  Also whats that yellow box?  Is that one of those box grills?

Brian

the old car is a 1971 XY FORD FAIRMONT WAGON (modeled off usa ford of late 60's) to be restored one day!!

and the yellow box is a wheelbarrow esky, made as a promo prize at the bottleshop, bought as an unwanted prize and now is our soccer team esky
its been modded abit  gas strut lid, handle, seat, bin.

Nice collection Golly.  I am going to be making one of those fire pits.  A friend of mine (from Oz actually) got me a washing machine drum that fits a 22 perfectly.  Just have to cut the legs down and I'm in business.  Thanks to you and Hogsy for the inspiration.

So if I am understanding....it's a cooler?   I love Australians, we both speak English but somehow I never know what they are saying    Did they sell these Ford's in the US?  Was is called a Fairmont here?  Does it have a big engine?

Brian

[Golly]

Yeh it's a cooler will post some pics

It was modeled of the USA 1966 ford falcon
Fairmont is the Luxo model
Base model was falcon 500
Next up  was futura
Then fairmont
Then GT
yes biggest motor it came with 351ci Cleveland
Very similar to a futura sports coupe

Hey Golly, upon further review I think you collect coolers as well as grills.

Here is the Old Redhead I was talking about on the Warrior thread.
Bought it for $20 sight unseen. It would have cost me more in gas
to go look at, but delivery was free. Need to work on the Twist ash tray now.
