I am trying to figure out how to put a tap handle on the outside with a keg inside without installing another fridge (not sure that's possible). I need to figure out how to permanently mount my mailbox too, lol.

This would not be that hard to do and absolutely needs to happen. It should have been done already, what have you been doing anyways?

Keg, bucket of ice. CO2 charged I hope, I hate pumping those things. Keg could go with the propane?

No propane at all fortunately. If I did it it'd be co2 for sure. I may still be a frat boy, but my key pumping days are over, lol.

While figuring out how I wanted to finish the wall inset panel the brakes and hubs showed up. Got the old hubs and brakes off, lift kit cut out and new brakes on.

Gotta wire the magnets in, install the drums, adjust the brakes and recenter the axles tomorrow. Nice quick win, and it'll be awesome to have good brakes on this pig for the first time.

Brakes wired, hub+drumset installed and preload set, axles located and torqued, wheels on, and finally, trailer on the ground. Not as low as I remember it, and I think it's gonna be just about right for the car. Easier to step into and out of as well.

Onwards and upwards.

Mostly finished product for the motel sign. I'm stoked with how it has come out.

Please ignore the caulk ooze. Til that a new tube of caulk can go bad in less than a year.

Looks incredible. Cant wait to drink beer next to it next weekend.

That is EPIC. Makes me want to drink a clear one. Job well done.

Found a spot for the head unit too. Aiming to have tunes for RR this year. Don't think I'll get to mounting the tv, but tunes, hopefully.

In the beer business we used to run taps pretty far away from the kegs using PVC. How far away would the tap handle be from the fridge itself?

another option is to get a jockey box. The keg doesn't have to be chilled, just the coils in the box. Mine is similar to the one below, you are welcome to try it out if you like.

Having kiddos with me negated any Moonshine motel time for this event. Next time
