Have a coke

Because I don't have enough projects or hobbies already, and I have tons of empty space in the garage I must be looking for something to do with all my spare time. So, I stop at a barn sale and buy two old coke machines from the fifties, for cheap.
I knew that they were potentially worth a bit of money as collectibles, and failing that they'll make two awesome cold smokers.

Turns out that they sell for more than my Hyundai when they're restored, and seeing that a coke machine is an over-glorified refrigerator, I should be able to make it go.

The taller machine (Cavalier C-51) is in the roughest shape externally, but it was made in the era of screw fasteners, instead of rivets so I can take it apart and hammer/dolly the dents out, skim-bondo the exterior and have it repainted professionally (I know someone who does custom paint on cars)
