So this may seem a bit off topic, but I thought I'd use this opportunity to show off a few pics of my keezer project in progress. I was hoping to have it done before tonight's game but at least it was painted and able to show off its colors for the game tonight.
I built it out of a 15 cu ft chest freezer I got for $50 off craigslist. It needed a lot of love but after a little cleaning, sanding, priming and painting it's starting to look pretty good. The collar was made out of 2x6's and its wired with a Ranco temp controller. I just received my 4 Perlick 525S faucets (which are beautiful) and the shanks came recently as well, so now I just need to make a few final touches and drill the holes for installing the faucets. The freezer will actually hold 8 cornies with the co2 tank on the hump but I couldn't justify ordering buying 4 more faucets, so for now I'm sticking with 4.
Obviously the main reason I wanted to post this was to show off its North Carolina jersey look. Eventually I'll paint the trademark argyle on the left and right sides. Also, the top is painted with black chalkboard paint (although I just found tintable chalkboard paint, so maybe I'll change up the color). I'll update with final pictures hopefully by the end of the week, including some of the new 525S faucets installed.
