Beer. Because no good story ever started with hold my salad and watch this.
 
I'd love to participate with a pic of mine, but first I have to build a shop, Lol!
:drinks:
 
Mine is pretty basic but does the job keeping the beer cold.

Last few years I have bought a lot of stuff from rock auto, I gave away the duplicates. The water and ice are hooked up too.

Time for a road trip to Dadsbee garage just to hear the cans drop in the machine.:drinks:
 
A good friend had a body shop. Bought beer for the staff on Friday. It got costly. He bought a 7 Up dispenser. You could then purchase your own beer at the government liquor board cost. Sorted out the free loader’s. He would also do some kind of a bbq on some Fridays.
Had a very successful business great quality.
We were lucky enough to have him do our LL1 67 Charger. Still miss it.
Trivia! He called my wife said the car was done and looked beautiful. I called him and said thanks. He replied and said beautiful for an ugly car.
He wanted to know when I would bring in the exterior trim and bumpers. I said not a chance. He wasn’t surprised when I didn’t have any scratches on the paint. He had said it will cost you extra to repair the scratches.
We became very good friends, after he had fixed our daily driver in 1980.
Worked with his Mother-in-law.
She was an employee that went far and above any expected duties. In my career, I never hired an employee that became so involved and caring for patients. God Bless her sole.

My "shop" refrigerator is not for storing food. I do a lot of personal custom CF/FG composite fabrication, hoods, trunks, shrouds, diffusers, spoilers, etc.
Purchasing the resins/epoxies in larger quantities keeps costs reasonable. The problem is the liquids seldom have a shelf-life thru experience and manufacturer claims of more than a year. I have extended that to over 8 years storing the resins at 40F. All my body putties, etc are also keep within. The freezer side I keep completely stocked with .5 liters of frozen water bottles, since this is Florida and I might lose power.
 
You need to keep the level of ice down to a minimum in the freezer compartment otherwise the motor will be working harder than necessary. :thumbsup:
I thought that was a 3hr. back up in case the power went out to keep the necessities cold :lol:

My freezer portion is for freezing the nitrous bottles when refilling them. The fridge usually has water, pop, beer of whatever choosing someone may bring over. Oh, it is the old 70's (1970 model, to match the cars) gold item to the left of the tool boxes covered in racing decals.
