How's this for a kid's room?
 
3 Attachment(s)
This is my 10 year old son's room. My wife and I spent a week giving it a makeover. I have 2 sons and a daughter. This son is my future motorhead. :burnout: My other son doesn't really care about cars :confused: Yes, that is the hood off of my '69 Camaro. I thought it added a nice touch. :crazy: :metal: Oh and by the way he's been gone for 2 weeks and doesn't know we did this. :D

Personally it would have been really cool if he had matching racing strips on the bedspread and pillow caases.. so I gues it just cool instead or real Cool.. :metal: :metal:

Sweet Job! Sure wouldn't have mind living in a room like that when I was young! :bowtie:

Only one modification I can see, but it's just me...I think the bed would look cool on stacked wheels for legs (maybe polished aluminum). I would suggest stacked tires, but you'd never get the rubber smell out of the room....

Actually, I am working on a night stand made from 3 rally wheels. The bottom one will lay flat, the second will stand up and have the hub cap and trim ring, and the third will be flat on top with a piece of plexiglass in the center.

Very cool

I can hear monster house calling already

krue 07-02-2004 10:38 AM

My boys would love that!

Bamm 07-02-2004 10:43 AM

Man thats cool, love the camaro hood, (would lose the home depot hood and maybe add a nice flamed dupont hood) :). That is awesome....... Have to get us some pics of your rally wheel table when your finished.

Bamm 07-02-2004 10:46 AM

I'm taking for granted that by the hood you are a Camaro guy??? What if you scavenged a camaro dash out of a yard and refinished it complete with working stereo and everything and mounted it to the wall or something. I just think that would be cool.........Jerry

Stryker67 07-02-2004 10:51 AM

I'm a CHEVY guy. I like the idea of the dash. We only had a week and a limited budget. Maybe I can put one in my room.....The Home Depot hood was a gift.... My son likes El Caminos and my Mom is having a sign made with an El Camino on it with the words "Jake's Place" along the length of the car.

Your son should really appreciate your effort - that is really great!

barn9 07-02-2004 11:48 AM

Palf70Step 07-02-2004 12:31 PM

Very Nice. My son would love it for sure! You and the boss done good!!:D
