dash plaques

Post by 962porsche » Sat Aug 02, 2014 9:14 am

between car shows and track events I must have 1000's of them .

but what to do with all of them ?

right now they are over filling a box that a rim came in .
it's kind of a history of all the shows and event's we go to so I hate to throw them away .

so what do you all do with them ????

many years ago I had them stock on the shop refrigerator they filled the front, top and sides . when it crapped out I removed all of them and that's when I put them in the old rim box that is now over flowing .
my tool box I airbrushed and because of room I sold the big ass roll around I had .
I was going to stick them on the doors into the shop but i also airbrushed the shop door .

I have the same problem (especially if you include antique car show ones). I like them and want to do something with them but keep them in a drawer while deciding what).
Same thing happened to my wacky pack stickers.

good god wacky pack stickers .
I have so many scrap books filled with them .
I know I still have them some place at my mom's house .

I was thinking of covering the walls in my shops bathroom ?
the down side to that is when I move out and peal them off the walls it's going to ruin the drywall .

A better question: what to do with all the old expired helmets? I'm thinking convert them into bird or bat houses….. 8) :sunny:

because I airbrush all my helmets I always hang onto them and at my house they are on the display shelf .

how about old out of date belts ????
I have a bumper box filled with them from 30 years of my and customers cars .
I have used some for things like tow hooks and to hang things from in the garage like the ladder .

You can get decent money for used belts on ebay. Ricer kids don't care about expiration dates. I usually buy red belts for that reason, they have better resale value.
