Something a bit different

[leeputmanjr]

Here you can see my mid-winter project, something I've wanted to do for a few years. This will be a nice wall-hanging, a tribute to "Bella", my old '74 Spider that got parted out in '07.

The finished board will be stained and varnished nicely; with all the gauges, steering wheel, VIN tags, shift knob, side mirror, and even her old license plate hanging from the bottom edge.

And yes, this will be hung in my living room!

That would make a great clock coming out of the horn with the long hands sweeping around the steering wheel.

Nicely done, Lee!

Nice! Have you had this part of your plan pre-approved by your spouse?

or are you like me... "do it and ask for forgiveness later".

I am lucky in that I have no adult supervision at home!

Thus, I can do decorating projects like this:

BTW - this display piece will be on this wall also, centered under that blue door.

That's what I'm doing. But with the front clip. With lighted head lamps. If I don't sell it. It will go into the pool table room.
