So, I figured it out. I went ahead and trimmed the hinge-sided edge of the HDPE about 1/4 inch..
Turned out awesome. Thanks walker!

Trying to determine what kind of drill bit I need. Thanks
crlova... my apologies. I never saw your comment from last year! Did you get everything figured out?
ThinMan: I really can't say if cutting out the shelf ridges will let you get two pinlocks in there. It's been quite a while since I did this conversion and I know that I could not get 2 pin locks in, nor could I get 1 pin lock and one ball lock in together But, i also didn't entertain the idea of cutting out the shelf ridges.
My gut tells me that if I had cut out the ridges, I probably could have gotten one pin and one ball in, but I am not so sure about getting two pins in there.
I no longer have my pin lock kegs (sold them), or I would offer to check and give you an opinion.
Sorry, man...
Hey Walker! Great looking fridge. I just started a very similar mod myself on a similar model. I'm going the HDPE route as well for my door panel. Two questions if you can lend me your knowledge...I had checked out plexiglass when I was trying to find a suitable door panel, but that stuff was MUHC more expesive than I was willing to pay. One thing that seemed like it would have worked was the cheap/thin wall panel that you see inside of mobile homes. Unfortunately, that was only sold in sheets that measured 8 foot by 6 foot (or something like that) and I had no real way to transport it.
I tried "thin" plywood, but it was too thick and I had the same problems you had with plexiglass; the rubber seal didn't fit over it quite right and it was too thick and would not allow the door to shut properly.)
The sheet of HDPE I bought worked out great and was pretty cheap.
