     Ditto, and I really admire how close to original you kept the compressor area.

I've seen better. laugh  Just messing with you.  Excellent work Pat.  Very clean machine.  I also like the compressor area.  

Bob that's a nice machine.  Just in time for Christmas.  It looks like it can belong in any living area of the house.  Where's are you putting it?

Yes, it looks great. Really nice.

It's still in my Explorer. I have a friend coming over tomorrow to help me move it to the basement/man cave.

 Great looking machine.  I like the wiring diagram hanging in the compressor area.  That's a nice touch.

Do you keep any Keystone on ice down in that basement?

Jared...No Keystone beer allowed in my 81D.  No one needs to get a tummy ache from that swill!

Stop over Kilroy.  We can drink my Labatt's Blue instead!

We'll be sure to flush twice. It's a long way to the Keystone bottling plant in Washington!

Here it is in it's almost final resting place.

I say almost final, as I have to cut a hole in the fake/drop wall behind it, and recess it back a foot into the wall to free up some space.

Thanks guys.

No, I didn't make the bar. It was made in Mexico, and a guy from AZ bought it originally. Then he moved here to Michigan with his Company, and had it set up in his basement here. Then his Company moved him back to AZ.  He paid $3300 for it, and I paid him $1200 as he didn't want to move it again. It is complete with wet sink, small fridge below, wine rack, etc.  I had to cut it in one place to get it down the stairs, reassemble it, and cut 6  inches off the top, rehang the crown moulding, etc. as he had 8ft ceilings and I only have 7 1/2 foot ceilings.  It gets a lot of use! We love it!
