Updates!!!
I got some time this afternoon to mock up what my perlicks are going to look like on the wood. Here's a preview!!
And here are my 3 attempts at cutting holes through this test wood:
The left is 1", the middle is 3/4", and the end (which is the best fit) is 7/8". It's a snug fit but I'd rather not have any air leaking out.
I also drilled pilot holes for all of the taps/shanks. I factored in a buffer of 7" on each end, as well as 4" gaps between each individual tap. The way my mind determined it was to use 3" of space on each side, and include 14 taps in the measurement rather than 12. This way I was an equal (and round) distance between the taps - 4". I like the uniformity of it. Here's a picture of the pilot holes all drilled:
I'm still stuck on a few items:
1. How exaclty do I wire up the Johnson 419? I really don't know yet. Can't seem to find a quality howto.
2. what will I use in order to have a tight seal from the collar to the rest of the unit?
3. How exactly does the beer line match up to the end of a shank? I'm assuming there is an adapter but I don't know what it is?
Any help on those questions I'd really appreciate it.
My next few items to tackle will be coring out the holes, as well as situating the collar - glueing it together, assembling it to the top, etc. I also want to prime it soon. This is getting really cool!

You mean the tailpiece and nut?
The tailpiece is a nipple that seals with a gasket. The beer nut holds it to the shank.

As to the question about hooking the beer line to the shanks, you'll have to get a 3/16" tail piece, assuming you're using 3/16" line and a 5/8" BSP coupling nut. Oh, and a hose clamp.

Awesome! Thanks to both of you for the picture and link. I'll be purchasing those very soon.
I also just put in my order for (7) perlick 575SS (the creamer faucets) and from what I was told the PO will be sent out tomorrow and the taps will be coming as soon as possible!

All Creamers? Aren't you the fancy man. These are like regular Perlicks that you can then push backwards for foam right? Thats how I understood it from reading.

Joe! Be sure to let us know how you like those creamer faucets. I left a spot on my kegerator for one more faucet, and I think a creamer may be the way I go.

Yeah, the guy I spoke with said ordering has been crazy and that they are both very popular products. When asked how I heard of them I said there had been alot of discussion on a beer brewing forum and that they had been tagged as an excellent company that will get the products for you. He was pleased.

Nope, BitDefender says its fine. Just got to rapidswholesale.com if you're looking.
Yep same thing here too. I just clicked continue anyway. Said something about malware.

No link directly to the product. No where is really carrying the 575SS yet. Call the folks over at the rapidswholesale.com main location(800-472-7431.) Ask if they have them (they won't) and they'll probably say they can try and call Perlick for you to see if they can get a price. They should get you squared away and have them drop shipped directly to you!! From first picking up the phone to having them completely ordered it took me about 15 minutes, should be about 31 bucks each plus whatever shipping runs you.
I'm so glad I found this thread so i could order some
