Thanks! Watermelon's in 1927 likely cost from a few cents to about $.75 or so. Free for the crew Rick! ;D 

Jerry

Thanks for the watermelon!  They do look nice.

Howdy Philip,

Thanks for the memory.  Every time I see a watermelon, I am reminded of my Grandad, who always carried a watermelon on his shoulder as he came in the front door for a visit.  It is a poignant memory that I cherish.  Thanks again, Philip.  

Are those yellow or red meat?  ;)

Have fun,
mike

Great job on the figures and hope the combine turns out well. After working produce
for years I still have nightmares about watermelons.

Larry, When I was stationed in Hawaii we had a watermelon explode on top of the refrigerator. Was a terrible mess!

Red meat Mike. We used to put them in the cold creek years ago.

Thanks Rick, Ron and Jerry!

Working on the cooling coils at the moment. The fitting are tiny and work ok. the larger radius ones are the correct ones.  The brackets needs a revamp. The tubes will be .020 steel pipe, solid core of course.

The experiment is done and turned out ok I suppose. I'll try mounting them tomorrow to the bottom of the running boards. Not sure if the pipes are oriented correctly? In and out may need to be at opposite ends.....

Almost forgot, added some junk to the pilot. Some stash of Vector cut open end wrenches and a cheater bar tool. Put some ass in it!  :o
