neon lit tailgate...

Re: Garage art
 

I like that !! Always wanted to cut apart a tailgate and make a sign out of it. This is even better !

Re: Garage art
 

I saw one on ebay awhile back done in neon...wanted $2500 on it, I passed.

Re: Garage art
 

I`m only guessing you could have one lit up for $500, if you painted it youself.

Oh wow! Too cool! Did you have someone do it for you, or did you buy it?

Super Cool!

That thing is awesome, and would look so cool lit up on the wall of a shop!

I like that. I keep talking about making a tailgate porch swing.

I keep seeing people replacing the headlights in grills and with speakers. I've thought about doing a '66, '70 and '72 across the front of the garage as my front stage for surround sound. If I find some deals on the trio I will.

I got inspired and made my own out of a repro tailgate. A friend that owns a sign shop did all the tubing for me. This was way cheaper to DIY than what the ebay vendor sells them for. Now to find a spot to hang it in the garage... Somehow I don't think putting it in the living room will go over well.

Happy wife, happy life. I have given up every room in the house after living in it for 24 years and being married 9. She said I still had the garage and my response ( which I don't recommend using) " you are out there doing laundry more than I am out there, wait a minute, you don't do much laundry so I guess you are right.....honey" At least she lets me have the cars and trucks :)

That's cool.

I got a 63 hood in my barn. It is over my work bentch. When you flip the lights the blinkers come on cause I wired them to the circuit. You can lift it up and there are tools behind it. I may poast some picks.

Hell give it a try, hang it when she's not home, she just might surprise you.:lol:


Way cool tailgate

Re: Garage art
 

Neat tailgates! :metal:

Re: Garage art
 

Awesome!!!

Re: Garage art
 

I like it and think it would look good in my garage! Heck drive around with it hooked up to your truck as back up light! :lol:

Re: Garage art
 

Man I want one!!:metal:

Re: Garage art
 

Man that would make an awesome headboard, but the wifey prolly wouldn't go for it...

Re: Garage art
 

Thanks guys. The girlfriend thinks its "neat" so I guess that's a good sign! I'm still going to play it safe and hang it in the garage tomorrow.

I suppose it would take about all of 9 seconds to get pulled over if I slapped this on my truck with an inverter, but it might be worth it ha!

I may make another and put it on ebay to see what happens... I don't think I'd lose money for what I can make these for.
