Nice! Keep me posted. Just getting ready to head south for parts for the kegerator build. Should have some flavour on tap for sure. No word about your parts being shipped I'll check on Monday. Got my name on a set of 3:91's though, don't want to end up on a backorder list.

Well I did not make as much progress as I thought I would on the kegerator build. Weather was awsome the last few days and I was spending some quality time with Pumpkin. Off to the dealer tomorrow morning.

I did however get the lid re-enfocered to support the tap tower and a little plumbing done. 24 hours for the glue to set and then I can cut hole for tower and mount it.

Another great driving day and were off to the dealer. Hopefully things will go well with the tranny issue, everything else is pretty straight forward.

I love the attention to detail, whether it's the car or the Kegerator.... That'll be awesome when you're finished...

Thx Bud. I was hoping that attention to detail would garner Pumpkin COTW one day, but no joy yet.

Although my new ride is along ways from Pumpkin. Things went well at the dealer today. They seem to agree that my tranny should not be grinding away as is does. I guess will see where it goes from here. I complained bitterly to GM last year when they said they were going to repair, rather then replace it. Look's like I was right.

Pretty much finished the kegerator today. A few little things to do, then load it in the truck for the ride home. Add a few tap handles from my collection and it should look awsome.
