A while back I posted looking for some advice on what to do with the emblems my pops had collected. I'm sure that no one has wondered what happened but I'm going to bore you with it anyways!

After a month of mounting them, here's the outcome down in our car themed basement.

It's just to the right of a Pontiac badge. **edit** i see which one you're talking about..Took me a while to put them all together with spacing. Missed that one. You, my son, me, and now those that read this will be the only ones that know that it's out of place. ***** :D


Thanks for all the complements! For years I was trying to figure out what to do with them. I always wanted to display them somehow. A few people here came up with the shadow box idea. My wife jumped on the idea and the very next weekend we were down at one of those craft stores. It really works great where we have it in the basement!!!

It was really awesome actually working with them. Like my pops was right there with me! He use to tell me about the cars when I was a kid playing with them.

I was just thinking about your original thread the other day. Great story, great tribute to your Dad, and it looks awesome. Glad your Wife was onboard too, I'm sure not all wives would be. Really turned out nice and couldn't have a better conversation piece.
