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 saw this on the FabSpeed website. Pretty big at 25" x 19". Brushed stainless and carbon fiber. Pricey at $495.

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.

If I remember correctly, some of the later Lincoln Mark 8 models also use Neon.

My garage is more of a 'working' garage than a showroom, but I have some fun stuff up on the walls...

My garage is more diminutive than I'd like. What space there is is long on original showroom posters:

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...

I like the color of neon at night in the blues and greens. To me it looks nice with some other art.

I'd like to see some pics with it done nicely. Coca-cola signs were pretty legit etc. I like the old oil signs myself.

Got this for my birthday from my wife - original factory plaque - weighs a ton!

And this to match my car:

As an aside - it is worth getting the non reflective glass, is about $75 more but no matter what the light, you get hardly any reflections.
