Wanted: garage dress up goodies

jeff-san · #1 10-19-2007, 07:49 PM

I've finally finished my garage and I am looking for things to hang on the walls without breaking the bank. old neon, porcelain signs,banners etc. I've been drooling over some of the member garage walls that I see as background. if anyone has some old duplicates or has any leads on some cool stuff please let me know.

Gas pumps are good too, or if you don't have the room, just use an old gas pump door and a face plate hung on the wall. Just saw one done that way recently and it looked pretty cool.

Jeff, best of luck in your quest..Best advice I can give you is just dive right in and start hanging anything you have. Start with your old parts,fenders, and you change your design as soon as you find something cooler. Ebay is nice, but be ready to pay a premium.It's taken me 25 + years to gather
what most consider useless junk...Happy hunting.

Jeff,

How 'bout some pix of your "blank canvas"!

thanks for the tips. I've tried hitting E Bay and once again I seem to like the most expensive pieces that I cant afford since my house over run buried me for a bit. My buddy owns a tire store and he gave me a few new tire banners but nothing old school. they'll do for now until I can find other items. I'd post a few pix of the garage but I dont think this is the right forum to do it. if anyone has some cool stuff they'll go to a worthy cause.

Cool stuff to hang up always...... old finned valve covers, a factory aluminum intake, amybe some broken parts you have thrashed on... My attached garage has one wall filled with intakes, cool valve covers i have bought, carbs etc. Kind of like my collection ya know.

I hung the NOS header panel that my wife ran over about 3 days after I got it back from the painter.

Guess I shoulda installed it the afternoon I got it!

The good news is she missed the NOS Argent grille that was next to the header panel!

A pair of Moon-Eyes are always good...!!
