This has been a while. Anything ever come of it?
The freezer came in yesterday and we brought it down to the basement to replace the old one.
The inside almost makes it look like we're having a party... curious... Also, buying 24 30-racks gets you some weird looks.
Rest assured as soon as it's completely assembled, taps and all, there will be much better beer flowing out of it than that. All homebrew, all the time.
Next week we should be getting the rest of the equipment and I'll start putting it all together with the current bar, just to have it functional for the last party of the semester. Over the summer we will be doing the aesthetic rebuild.
If we didn't all have to be bothered by classes, job searching, and being able to use the bar for parties, this would be a much quicker project, but I anticipate this mostly being worked on and completed in August. I will still update on the rest of the build I will be doing next week though, and as always, ideas are welcome on how to make this bar look good.

The rest of the parts came in today. I'll post pictures of it later once I get back to the house. It includes 2 dual faucet tower taps, CO2 tanks, corny kegs, CO2 manifold, and a whole bunch of connection pieces.
Still need to get ball lock fittings for the corny kegs though, they were out when everything else was ordered.
Either this weekend or next Wednesday I will work on putting everything together, the rest of this week is pretty busy.

Stumbled across this thread. I wonder if the bar was ever finished? That manky looking original bar was basically identical to the one at my fraternity house. My senior year we also rebuilt it. Unfortunately we didn't have any home brewers at the time so it was always just Keystone Light or Natural Light. The thought of that last one makes me slightly nauseous.
