Talking Post your garage art - Porsche-Gulf 917 beer fridge

Let's get a thread started on garage art. Thought I would post a picture of my newly finished garage beer fridge in Porsche-Gulf livery. Special thanks to fellow pelicanite Joe Bob for the graphics work. Joe Bob does great work and can create/make anything. He was also nice enough to re-finish a piece that got lost in the mail free of charge. If anyone wants custom made stuff send Joe Bob a PM or check out his site at No Bad Days Graphics. I know someone out there has a Brumos/Rothmans/Martini painted fridge - lets see em!

That looks great!

Did you paint the refrigerator blue and the rest were Joe Bob's graphics? Or did you paint the blue and orange stripe?

Thanks.

@swoboda - Painted the fridge and stripe with custom mixed epoxy that I sprayed through a small gun - my first paint job - it was pretty easy - Joe Bob did the graphics. Thanks for checking it out.

Sweet! It matches my painting


And my bike



Just for the record both the painting AND the bike are in my garage so they're "garage art"

Here is one of my weekend projects...


Crappy cell phone pic, but I hung the extra hood from the car from 3 chains on the ceiling and put lights above it. It keeps the lights from shining on the TV, lights the ceiling in an indirect fashion, goes with the auto motif, wife likes it, and solves where to store the extra hood where it won't get damaged.

The extra rear deck lid goes up next in the other end of the room.

Phase 2 is to convert to 12v cable lighting and include a drop over the hood to light up some low power LEDs in the hood lights when the other hood is off the car.

That's awesome! Not sure what I like best, the paintings, the space, or the car. Very nice.

Thanks! It's a cool space to hang out and have a few cold ones and discuss how to go faster at the local tracks! The Porsche paintings are from a Slovanian artist (mad skills). The naked chick I picked up in a yard sale years ago for $5 bucks. She was "ordered" to my man cave once I got married. My wife claimed she was always "giving her the eye" lol. The space is a vintage 50's real deal Quonset Hut that I have restored to what you see in the pics. It's getting ready to change again as I have a new member of the family. (see pic below)
