Decorating the garage with 1,800 fender tag & more.

Postby Alaskan_TA » 25 May 2015 21:07

Hey guys, with the move to PA complete I have been trying to finish the inside of the garage, it was mostly open framing on the inside with no electric lines or lights. I have been collecting 'decorations' for this project for over 20 years, so it has been fun actually getting a section of wall done & then hanging stuff up.

On these two walls there are over 500 fender tags so far, all from parted Mopars that are long gone. I still have about 1,300 to mount yet, along with more signs, license plated & old Chrysler advertising.

Current fender tag count on all three walls is 918 so far, there are about 900 or so more to go.

I need to buy more screws the next time I go to the hardware store. :mrgreen:

The green fender was the guest list 'sign in' sheet for the 2010 AAR & T/A Reunion. The orange one will have that honor next month.
