Retro fridge conversion
having storage issues even while I have a cabinet, 3 coolers and 2 desktops I had to look for something else. After seeing converted fridges like at my buddy Frans's mencave and the awesome Partagas fridge Keith (Big Ash) made I decided to go that route.
So I went on marktplaats, which is the Dutch version of graigslist I guess and got myself a 50's style retro frigde The frdge The inside before conversion the cooling parts and the engine of the fridge will be removed so the fridge can sit straight on the wall The inside stripped, the humidor will be humidified with the Hydra LG I'll keep the door intact and will use the build in trays for humidity beads

Re: Retro fridge conversion
removed the cooler parts and the engine, as the finished humidor needs to go to the first floor that is very helpfull, most of the weight is gone now
This is the electronics that got removed There will be 16 drawers installed, a hydra LG, humidity beads, led lighting and I am looking for a paintbrusher to paint the fridge. My idea is a scene from a tobacco field on the bottom with a blue sky, that blue sky will fade into a Nicaraguan flag.

Re: Retro fridge conversion
The tray system looks awesome ! The clear works good with the interior.
Don't know how crazy you want to get. But if you are considering such an eccentric scene painted on the outside, don't forget, you can get that handle chromed. There's lot's of rechroming shops online. Another option is a powdercoating service. Just throwing the idea out there. I can see already it is going to be great regardless.
