Bought a Holiday 5.0 Cubic Foot Freezer that was a scratch and dent from Lowes.

Took her home and went to work.


Built the collar first and test fitted it.

Now I'm just waiting for my Johnson temp control unit and then I have to drill a hole in the back of the collar for my fan cord. Two 5 Gallon Cornies and a 5LB c02 and I'll be in business.
 
Nice work on the keezer. The paint and stain look pretty sharp.

Will that fit two ball lock cornys on the floor?

Didn't see how you attached the hinges. On my similarly sized keezer/collar setup, I attached the collar to the lid, and the hinges to the collar. The hinges are able to easily hold up the whole lid/collar assembly, and it's really nice to be able to clear everything out of the way. Just a thought if you haven't gotten to that yet.

Here is the pic of the hinges.
