Hi Ryan -

I have some pictures of my Corvette "man cave" or shrine.

I have been putting up posters on the walls as I have them, and I have been trying to put a 1:18 scale replica that pertains under each poster.

I built this garage just to house our two C5 Corvettes -

The garage has a service lift, hot and cold soft water, floor drain, in floor heat, cable tv, 220v electrical and tons of outlets and a Hoover GUV vac.

You can see the C5 logo above the rear doors, and my large scale C5R in EB hanging on the wall to the left of the doors.






building it -



before I had anything on the walls....



I have made brackets to hang 1:18 models on the wall - only Vettes of course!



I saved all the postcards that they have given me the three times I have toured the plant in Bowling Green, framed them, and then arranged them around a "Family Traditions" sign...



Mine is not the prettiest garage I have seen , but I would wager it has seen enough Corvettes in it since I built it to be in the running for "Most Vette passed through"

thanks for the opportunity!

best regards -

mqqn

Bought several from a Forum Vendor (they are a long time gone at this point)

I have recently searched the net for any vendor that might be selling these - to no avail.

Also a reminder - Your shrine doesn't have to be a whole garage if any of you guys have diecast models or banners post up those pics too!
