That's really nice!
I'd like to have one to hang on the back of my truck?

Re: Hung up some wall art, in the garage.
 
If I had a chance to nab about a 8 tailgates, I'd be all up for doing that in my garage!

I'm no longer really scrounging parts, since my burb is pretty much done except for the interior. So I don't come up on many cool finds anymore that would make good wall art.

In my case, I'd be up to put a bunch of tailgates along the upper edge of the garage wall to ceiling. Sort of like a truck guys crown molding in the garage :lol:

You guys are killing me. I can't find a decent tailgate that won't keep me out of the poorhouse. I'm jealous.

Re: Hung up some wall art, in the garage.
 
omg! the headboard is AWESOME!
I remember seeing Dino had some benches at his house made up of tailgates, maybe he'll post up some pics

Great Ideas! I especially like the tailgate headboard.

Re: Hung up some wall art, in the garage.
 
Holy cow! If my wife wouldnt kill me i'd make us a new headboard like that one. That is awesome! Heck if she does kill me I will go ahead and build a coffin for me that will use the tailgate for the lid. lol

Stano 03-16-2011 01:10 AM

Re: Hung up some wall art, in the garage.
 
LMAO! Just sent a pic of the headboard to my wife. She loves it! Wants me to make us one. How cool is that? I already have some modifications in mind for ours.

Killer idea! I like the wall art and the headboard.
You got to add tail lights to the headboard! The backup lights would make nice reading lights too.:haha:

My wall art is a little different. BlondieK is in art in school, and is painting our trucks as her subjects.

This is one of her driving my truck and me screaming in fear. LOL

This is what her truck will look like...well sort of. I don't know if it will be shooting flames or not. :lol:

Re: Hung up some wall art, in the garage.
 
Now, if someone was really determined, take about 16 tailgates, 6 tall x2 wide, and make themselves a garage door out of them. But hey, im just saying. Or stack 4-5 high and make an interior door.
