How's this for a kid's room? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Stryker67 · 07-02-2004, 09:18 AM

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.

My other son doesn't really care about cars

Yes, that is the hood off of my '69 Camaro. I thought it added a nice touch.

Oh and by the way he's been gone for 2 weeks and doesn't know we did this.

Dood! You are the coolest parents ever!

Bowtie67 · 07-02-2004, 09:44 AM

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..

jlive68 · 07-02-2004, 09:48 AM

I like the way the room came out. Nice job.

anthony_1269 · 07-02-2004, 10:04 AM

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

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....

Stryker67 · 07-02-2004, 10:08 AM

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.

MylilBowTie · 07-02-2004, 10:17 AM

Nice hover bed

Chevy67Tk · 07-02-2004, 10:23 AM

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.

**Yukon Jack** · 07-02-2004, 11:06 AM

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

barn9 · 07-02-2004, 11:48 AM

Nice room, nice parents, lucky kid!

**Palf70Step** · 07-02-2004, 12:31 PM

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

LUV2XCLR8 · 07-02-2004, 01:15 PM

Don't Get Them Wet, I Have Them In My Garage, I Luv Them 2 Death.

P.s. - Pardon The Mess, That Is My 67-68 Cowl Hood In The Box. :p

franko72 · 07-02-2004, 05:03 PM

I am sure he will be surprised.are you looking to adopt any 42 year old kids?

**lock** · 07-02-2004, 11:36 PM

That is so cool. Your son is lucky to have parents like you guys!

weasel29gm · 07-03-2004, 12:04 AM

Great job!!!!!!! Love the desk and and hood!!!

Blue Beard · 07-03-2004, 07:17 AM

Great job...even down to the wall plate for the switch...

Recently saw a garage that had Hot Wheels for cabinet knobs.

68C15 · 07-03-2004, 07:59 AM

Inthuwind · 07-03-2004, 08:01 AM

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..
