Man Cave Video

Here is a quick four-minute video of my garage (a never ending project, lol). Hung the Corvette bumper on the wall, and backlit all automotive tail lights with low voltage Xmas LEDS, set to a wireless motion detector.

Hey, sure you can! The vast majority of the items were under $25, via Ebay bargain hunting. The most expensive item was the complete C6 bumper, which I found for $350.

What a fantastic job! I used to work at a collector car museum and I'm very impressed with your work. So much with such little space, and yet you still have lots of room to park your car! I'm working on my garage as well however, I will be doing more modern cars.

Great work!
