Over the last five years my garage has been studs and pressboard. Many of you have seen my garage before and it was litterally a cave. I just finished drywall, paint, and lights. Im going to put in more lights, epoxy and clearcoat the floor. And finally install Natural gas heat. Im looking for ideas regarding the wall where the Shelby sleeps. I want banners and posters to put up on that wall. Anyone have any contacts that might be able to sell me some cool stuff. Ive already looked on HotRodGarage.com, Steeda, Shelby,and a few others I cant think of right now.
Heres some pics of the garage.:popcorn:

This is the wall that needs some flair.

Looks way brighter Steve, nice work. I've seen some cool stuff but can't remember where (I'm getting old) If I remember things I'll be sure to let you know.

Just go to Rt 66 drag strip during a national event and "lift" some of the big banners off the main fencing when no-one's looking. They are only attached with zip ties so a pocket knife or small wire-cutters would make short work... :)

Wear an orange vest if you want to "look official"

Hey, for the floor, one of the big name epoxy floor outfits also sell floor "tatoos" that go down under the clear epoxy final coat if you want some big floor emblems and such.

Thanks, guys. Mot250 I might just look into Logos for the floor. News at 5, local business owner caught stealing banners from NHRA Race. His reason was he needed flair for his garage.:082:

I have some Roush banners that could be negotiated out of my hands.

The floor graphics I saw were on the show My Classic Car and I believe U-Coat-It was the sponsor, however, I checked their website I don't see that they list the graphics for sale. But, if you go to the News and Announcement section and then to the 2008 World of Wheels, they show steps for applying vinyl graphics before the clear top-coat.

Or for a complete custome look, try to recreate something like this...

Mot250, Thanks for the links.I really like the Chevy floor picture. Maybe I can get a snake logo in the floor if Shelby sold them the license to do it.

Yeah, sorry they were mostly Chevy stuff. I was disapointed I couldn't find any Ford items.

I'm sure you could mask it off and create your own copy of the Shelby snake logo for your own personal use.
