Canuck Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 So far it is just my old bumper from my 70 Monte. I had to make some brackets to get it mounted on the wall and added some lighting. I plan to add taillight housings and have the taillights work too. I will need to come up with something for the backup lenses. Some frosted clear plastic will do I just need to find the right container I can cut up. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVC Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Aaron... I'm a big fan of automotive wall art. My wife won't let me bring it in the house, so I'm restricted to my shop, garage, barn yard and mancave. My garage is rather eclectic and covers many years of collecting and hoarding things I've used during our 62 years of marriage.. In my collection are some of the original license plates for my Monte from Louisiana, Guam,Japan, Arizona and California. I also have some beer collectables, bicycle, ,motorcycle, route 66, hunting and other themes. Everything in my collection has a real life story…. A grill would look good on top of your bumper. I have a couple of them Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVC Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 More pics of my barn yard … Man cave is the barn to the left. Note the original hubcap for my 63 Bonny.. Even the tow chains have a place in the theme … entrance to my shop is under the deck .. The old orange water pump flows water.. Old goat cart was actually used by my kids back in the late 70's .

Dtret Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 There’s a 71 ss sitting somewhere in Oregon I heard about. You just a hop, skip and a few thousand jumps. Don’t be so sure of that. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Tupperware makes just about any shape, size, and colour you can imagine. And there's always some at garage sales if the wife won't let you use her's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used some angle iron to make upper and lower mounts for the bumper and they are screwed into the studs. The taillight extensions are currently just sitting in place and I’m working on how to secure them better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
