to use in my Pool room....will have a garage theme going on in there, and looking for some cool stuff to hang on the walls, prefer OLD stuff!
Pics, emblems, gimme some ideas!:waytogo:
 
Umm sounds stupid, but last time the wife drug me to hobby lobby they had vintage automotive stuff, Chevy, ford, and dodge.
 
Jeff, those are nice, but just not the flavor of stuff I'm looking for...your Dad got any old Vette emblems he wants to let go of?
 
Whatchu thinkin exactly dave? Craig may have some cool old stuff layin around takin up space....
 
I will see what my dad has for you. I will be at his house tomorrow or Tuesday. Good idea. I know he has something cool.
 
I think I still have some old beat up license plates I can ship ya. I'll take some pics later if interested.
 
I've been hunting banners on eghey lately for the dungeon... chevy, speed companies, etc..
 
I like the banners too Paul, I got a bunch of em from the races, car shows etc...and they are great for shop walls, garage etc.
I'm mostly looking for stuff to add to the atmosphere of a garage/shop type setting.
the walls will be done with corrugated siding...

Looking to make the atmosphere industrial/automotive garage type setting.
I've got some heads and intake and a blower to use as tables (with clear glass on top of them) A few shop stools to use as bar stools. I have some old emblems off my Vette, and some old trucks, getting some 4/6BT individual valve covers, a 4-71 valve cover, thinking maybe a 50's-early 70's front end section, that would protrude through the siding, just the front 6" or so of a front end, tear away the metal like its crashing through into the room.
The Pool table is an 8' 1908 Brunswick table in good shape, but it looks the 100 years old that it is...I want to keep it that way, I don't want to restore it, so most of the stuff in the poolroom I would like to be older pieces as well.

I'm open to alot of things, sometimes you don't know what you want til you see it, but unordinary pistons (SBC's are too common, gimme a 12:1 BBC or a Hemi piston, or a Cat, Detroit, etc) Maybe a blown head gasket or something, a broken connecting rod.
old hubcaps, or engine pieces, etc. ????

Turbo housings from an Isuzu 6b and a camshaft from an Isuzu 6hk1.
Yours if you want. Shipping is from 97478. Let me know. I also have a couple truck emblems. One KW and one newer Peterbilt.
 
Nate the turbo housing on the right, the cam, the emblems, and the manual.
I gotta believe you can get some $$ out of that stuff, so shoot me a bundle deal price on em, then I'll pay shipping!

Thanks man!
 
I got that stuff for free, so I should probably bend you over and stick it to you price wise! :). How does a big fat Merry Christmas sound? PM me an address and we'll figure out shipping cost. :thumb:

Oh yeah, there will be a surprise addition with it. It's so cool that I can't post a pic of it for fear of everyone's jealousy!;) you'll be so excited you'll wish it would've been under the tree for Christmas!
 
that sounds awesome Nate!
I'm giddy like a kid at Christmas now!

PM on the way
 
Ok, I can't contain myself either!:)

I put this in my shop truck the other day. Been hauling it around and I just can't wait to show you what's coming to you.





I know it's not Christmas yet but here you go!

I've been trolling eBay too for a while now...for old gas/oil/service station stuff...I think an offshoot hobby is blossoming from the Blazer....that stuff is expensive though...especially if the seller uses the word "rare" or "vintage"...

I saw an old very good condition early 70's Anco wiper blade cabinet...I didn't win it...I really wanted it...I also want a late 60's early 70's oil rack with dozen or so old oil cans...

I love the corrugated metal idea...that's perfect.
