I have both Foxx Equipment & Rapids catalogues. Overall Foxx is cheaper than Rapids for what we need.

The new total is under $800.00 + shipping. I'm only ordering 8 sets of ball lock and 8 sets of pin lock quick connects & no cold plates and fittings.

The 6-Pass that was with the old cart I had access to is the one thing that was removed from the cart when they stopped using it. So I ended up not being able to get one.

The parts from Foxx arrived today. It came in after I left so I haven't check it out yet.

I have the parts. We will have to modify the drain pans. The description is 12" x 5" with a 10" back. 10" is perfect to fit between the top and the counter. It is actually about 14" high. 10" is the drop between the faucets and the pan.

Say Chis, got any suggestions for the bar cart after visiting the National ABH? Like making the canopy our foaming indiana beer mug logo? or adding some neon lights???

Sorry, I meant AHA convention?

Here is a possible beer list configuration. Some type of white board with permanent numbers attached. The "Order By Number" concept has worked well for us in the past. The huge list gets too overwhelming for most folks.

The only thing that worries me about this is for tall servers/customers. Its going to cut of the line of site for some folks. How about a white board attached to the upright of the canopy on one side or the other. I think it needs to be up high.

I found some board at Lowe's that will work. And it's cheap. We did some measuring at the BBQ and I think if we make it around 10" tall it won't interfere with line-of-sight. I'll pick it up tomorrow and some vinyl numbers.

Future additions will include a "random selection button" that will hi-light a random brew via LED.

I have 2 led lights we can use to light the menu or the bar itself. They are about 8 inches long & have 6 led's. They run on 4 AAA batteries & have 2 light levels.

The beer list board is in production.

Masked out in blue tape. Man I hate cutting out stencils.

If the glue on the frame sets up enough after supper I'll hit it was some "pumpkin" orange paint.

Very nice job Chris. Can't wait to see it in person.
