carl63_99 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 About 35 years ago I built this shelf with my Dad. Pictures are probably up there somewhere. I've thought for years about updating it, wanting to add a mirror and a glass cover on the front to keep dust off my cars. A few months ago I decided to take the plunge and do it. I got a string of LED lights, plus the already mentioned stuff and updated it. Empty space is for my '69 R/T when I get the engine/upgrades done.

Paul Payne Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Great looking case- love the LED lighting! Looks like you enjoy building mainly high performance sports cars. As your collection grows, I assume you may be building another one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a quarter of my collection, all the rest are boxed up. Having to modify this one, I found the mirrors hard to find in an acceptable size, thus, two door mirrors on their sides. The plexiglass was $60 at Home Depot. I could probably do a slightly smaller one (20 cars) for around $100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used interior grade pine as it cuts easy and can be finished to any color you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
