Artwork in the Garage

I know that art is in the eye of the beholder. I know that what a car guy may think of as art, may not carry over to the general public. Most garages have pretty girls on the wall in various stages of undress. I had a few engine parts around that I would have either trashed or sold, but decided that if they were cleaned up a bit, it would look pretty cool on the wall. Tell me what you think and maybe post pics of some other unconventional garage decorations.


A moderator may want to move this to the general discussion area, and thats cool with me.

Re: Artwork in the Garage

hgs_notes, I'm with ya! I have a pair of old script valve covers too. I also have about 100 old license plates and a couple sets of hub caps.

If you ever watch Trucks!, they have several engines sitting around on stands, those make nice decoration too!

Re: Artwork in the Garage

I like the art you did

We have an Impala banner & a sign that reads : my garage is full of tools...so don't act like one

Concrete block walls sorta hinder too much decoration
