Default Corvette Wall Mural

Need some help from you Corvette Die-hards...

We're redoing my 11 year old's bed room and we offered to put up a wall mural. I looked at all the books in the wall paper stores and I can't find a wall mural with a Corvette. Any one have any sources for Corvette wall murals?

Thanks!!

Get a picture of a Vette, crossed flags emblem, etc. Go to the copy store and have them copy it to an overhead projector transparency. Then cast the image on the wall and trace the outline. Once that is drawn, you are a paint-by-number job away from your own homemade wall mural. Piece of cake. Good luck. :cheers:

L48Shark,

That's a GREAT idea. My printer will do transparencies. I'm gonna do one in my bar room downstairs. :)

Mid-America and maybe some of the other vendors sell Corvette borders by the roll. Only C4 and C5 logos however. :rolleyes:

The billboard posters are 10'-10" x 4'-0". Pretty cool mural.

They are really cool, and if he doesn't like it, you've only spent $35, and you have new garage decorations. :yesnod:
