Thanks for the advice. A good coat of paint will probably be the best start & I like the idea of a bold accent wall. Now to choose the colours....... Also does anyone have an idea where I could purchase or print large reproduction paper posters? Is this something I can do online? Or is there a big box store that does this (Staples)?

Yikes, definitely don't want that!!!! The HVAC guys just finished installing the heating this week. We won't have cooling (not needed in my neck of the woods), but I definitely need to look into insulation now. That would be awful to have such bad moisture issues! Thanks!

Fingers crossed there is plenty of insulation in the roof

Try 'greatbigcanvas.com'. You select the print, the size, hows its framed etc. Also Google 'Reproduction Antique Transportation Posters' and you should get a lot of good hits. I just bought some plain paper ones, that came rolled in a cardboard tube. I just took them into a local picture framing store and had them mounted onto flat boards. Most were in the 20" x 30" range and final cost was just over $100 each. You get larger print up to 5 or 6 feet, but the costs start getting into the $500 dollar range.

On the diagonal. Otherwise you have an 11' door next to it.

He sure does! JK. Thanks for the kind words. I know it's not a p-car, but couldn't resist taking some snaps of this beauty the other day...I have been wanting to see CJ's car in person and I finally got the opportunity to take a few pics...just an idea

Nice Pic mile2424. I do not know who the color person at McLaren is, but they do some spectacular colors! Is that Volcano Orange? I love Volcano Red, perhaps the best color I have even seen on a car.
