Beer bump..

I went to look at a Coors lighted sign from Craigslist - it was cool, a mountain stream that changed from winter to summer via a light moving back and forth on a chain drive - got it for $25... asked the guy if he had anything else and he shows me the classic Scenerama as shown above... that was a little pricier though, 75 bucks. Best CL score ever for me.

Spun aluminum Hamm's multi-galloncan with custom fitting refridgerator. (Works great...now if I can just figure out how to put beer BACK into the Hamm's can it would be awesome....))

A couple Hamm's outdoor sign plates I acquired recently. Thinking about mounting one on some pegboard wood with a couple or three fluorescent bulbs behind it. Any thoughts on how this might work or suggestions on mounting/framing?
