I am at a point where I can take a break on memorabilia, as it looks finished enough and I can wait until something interesting comes up. Some pictures:
A few framed vintage Porsche posters and race-related sponsor plaques on the walls, recently drywalled and painted garage, and epoxy coat with black, grey, and white flecks. I had wanted a smooth surface, but ended up laying down the flecks to rejection to hide the numerous garage floor flaws. It was either that or ripping up the old floor.
Some additional Porsche posters, Pirelli, Gulf, and Mobil 1 plaques, and the frames flanking either side are the racetrack and sponsor patches posted by me earlier in this thread.
Shooting my C4S from the passenger side, with the last of the Porsche vintage posters, and one last set of mounted collectibles.
The shadowbox has Porsche Owners Club, PCA, and Porsche Parade 2008 (Charlotte) grille badges mounted for display.
I like to find cool valve covers, old instrument clusters and hang them on the wall. I also was able to find an old 1974 911 engine a few years ago already dismantled on ebay for $1,000. Had it sand blasted, found some carbs and a fan. It was fun putting it together and seeing how it actually works. So now it is in my office lobby.
Finally got my poster framed and ready to be hung in the garage..... or bedroom like I'm 12 again.
Hobby Lobby did a great job. Poster was adhered to a foam board backing to prevent any wrinkling do to any moisture problems my garage might have especially in the summer time.
Thanks_nuts. But I am not that much into neon signs. As close as I got to it were the rear factory lights on my BMW z8. Interestingly enough, they were 'neon' low-pressure gas-discharge. Quite attractive too! My was the Euro type (yellow/red) as seen in the photo below. But think about that...what other rear tail lights from any auto manufacturer have you ever seen that are 'neon' gas?
Saludos,

If I remember correctly, some of the later Lincoln Mark 8 models also use Neon.
My favourite but it's not going in the garage. It's staying in the office so I can look up at them from time to time and get inspiration from a great pair of beauties.

Nice, but I think you'll find that's, in fact, two pairs of beauties...

Thanks Man. If you like those, the real stars have found their way inside the house. These in the office:
This in the kitchen:
And this in the living room:
(sorry for the reflections)
Mrs. Mathfuzzy has been quite tolerant, although I'll be needing a bigger garage to add more of Strenger's finest work to the household...
