Very nice tap! But what about that Ford in the background? Looks like a fine hotrod.
What is that box? i assume you are just cooling it with ice? A flow control faucet will save you a lot of beer and headaches with that setup.
For your next iteration, i would highly recommend building in a jockey box top that. You keep the box full of ice. Spend the cash and get the 100ft SS coil not the cool plate(these suck ass).

Keeps it from becoming a foam monster
yup. they are not cheap, but a good all SS one is a solid investment and will last longer then you. a quick google search puts them between $50 and $70.
how are you cooling the keg/beer? Is that tower foam filled or open to the the keg area? to get that to pour properly you will need the beer to be SUPER cold.
Look up a Jockey box setup. if you are serving this for Oktoberfest, you should have time to get one setup if you are interested in doing so.

I plan to just fill the box with ice. The tower is open to the cooler and I installed better insulation than it had.
I doubt I will go with the Jocky box. This project is way out of control now for a onece a year party.

totally understandable. the really important thing is to keep the beer in the hose between the keg and the faucet from getting warm or you will have a ton of foam.

About 5-6 feet of the hose will be burried in ice
Does it have to be just once a year?
Looks a lot like my old trashcan kegerator! Good job.
Oops, forgot the photo!
It is a wheeled trashcan, with foam insulation cut to fit, a 5# CO2 tank inside, and 3 5 gallon corney kegs. One thing added also was a drain, near the very bottom, so I could fill with ice, and then drain as needed.
