Default Another Memorabilia Wall

Even the most unfinished wall can be dressed up when you add the beauty of Corvette in the mix. I borrowed the idea from a couple of you guys here. Thank you.
Just things that mean more to the owner than anyone else. Build sheet, window sticker, airline stubs, 1st tank of gas receipt, stuff from the museum, pick of the car in the museum. But the RC8 is an experience that is far to great of a memory than can be contained on a wall. If you get a chance....do it! It's worth it.

Also, added a couple of pics of how I mounted my 2nd top.

The 1st tank of gas receipt! Unless you recently bought the car I'm amazed you'd have your first gas receipt. A collection like that always gives you things to be on the lookout for...good on you!

Yep, just purchased in December and filled up on the way home from the museum.

Jeff,
It is available at the museum or in their catalog. They did have it on sale. I liked it when I first saw the blanket and it was actually my wife's idea to hang it. I will probably put it under glass and frame it for protection a little later. Will probably paint the wall at some point too
I really like yours. Looks very nice. You were one of the ones I spoke about getting the idea from. Thank you.

Billy
