Default Garage wall art



Had my brother in law paint this for me. It looks a little high on the wall by itself, but have other corvette items to be placed around it.

hi bradleyls103 -

I have been making brackets to hang 1:18 scale diecast corvettes on the walls of my garage - the idea is that I get a poster that has a particular car on it and then hang a replica of that car under or near the poster for folks to look at when they are in the garage.

for instance....



Notice how the model appears to be floating - you cannot see the bracket as it is hidden behind the car.

I started out putting up little shelves to hold the models, but they are (literally) a PITA because they stick out with sharp edges....


I also like having my hoover GUV (garage utility Vac)...it comes in real handy. you can see it on the wall in this picture -



best regards -

mqqn
