I currently have a 1969 Mustang Fastback GT and would like to paint the walls half ford blue and silver. any ideas would be great. i'll post pics of garage tomorrow. i'm powerwashing it in am.

Good to hear theres other 69 GT's around. I also have one. My garage still needs to be finished inside( insulation, drywall, and floor) But its also a working garage. Id post pic of my garage but there all in my laptop which is being repaired. So here is my GT.
Love the neon!!

69 Fastback GT is one of my dream cars. I've owned Fox bodies, SN-95's, New Edges, S197's, everything from 79 on. One of these days I'll get my hands on a 69 Fastback. Until then I'll have to settle for my 03 Cobra, but I'm on the hunt.

You will absolutely need a Ford Racing Performance Parts sign, that's the corner stone of every good Ford garage.

These one's are some of my favorites too.

I go to Ford Motorsport Nationals at ATCO every year and on the last day, they let you take whatever signs you want. Any banners that are hanging from the fences or advertisements that are hanging just for the weekend are yours to take. I have a bunch of them.

I am a mustang nut but do not yet have a mustang garage.
things I have collected for the future mustang garage
ford neon sign (from dealer)
motorsport banner
vintage FoMoCo dealer posters
70s gas pump that will be redone with a mustang scheme
factory aluminum manifolds to hang on the walls

a couple of things I have thought about doing to the garage

paint the profile of another mustang on the wall so it looks like there is another one in the next bay
paint the walls to look like the inside of a dealership
blue and grey checkerboard floor

Jim,

gorgeous gravity feed gas pump. I would gladly arm wrestle you for that.

What color GT is that? Mine is Pewter but i want to paint it that color green. LOOKS GREAT!

 

[mustangmanny]

Mine's not as nice as many of these guys, but you can see many of the Ford stuff hanging on the walls. See my sig for my garage thread.

Would love a 69 but, don't have time to keep it nice. Just doing the new stuff but I have several items signed by Carroll.

 

[Ray-CA]

You could put one of these on a wall:

Those are very cool. Bet they didn't know how much those cars would be worth now.

My 24x28 garage I'm redoing. Not a mustang owner but I have a ZX2 (******) and have had 2 others prior to the current. Nothing that show's its a "Ford" garage but I have a "Ford Parking Only" Sign but its not up.

The existing car (beater):

 

[mrstang69]

Nice "beater"! And nice garage. where did you get the 2 gray cabinets? Also gives me an idea for lighting and peg board ideas. Thanks

 

[mrstang69]

ill have to get some updated pictures now thats its been more "used"

this is temporary apartment living for me. ive got another year here then ill be done with college. thats why theres no epoxy floor or painted walls.

the ford banner carries and FMS part number if you're interested. think it was like $15

 

[purpony]

im redoing my 2 bay garage at this time so i dont have any great pics, but here is the color combo im painting at the moment. Silver bottom, dark grey stripe, Ford blue stripe, and then white. I raised one bay ceiling from 10'2" to 13'6" for my 4 post lift. Planning on parking my mustang up top and my f150 below.
sorry for all the junk in the pic. I had it up on the lift while i was working.

just painted this wall the other day

my mustang thats parked inside.

 

[Fiberglass Fred]

My garage is too full of other stuff, like tools and other cars. So I keep my 65' in the house.

Is that a 93 Cobra in the garage?

 

[stok2]

Guys,
Where did you get those banners and neons? I'm redoing my garage and I just finished restoring my 73' Mustang Ragtop and would like to hang some Mustang/Ford stuff on the walls....

 

[Nutty 5.0]

Most banners and Neon can be found at Ebay. Ditto on the Ford banners sold through Ford Racing. I got mine via Summit Racing.

My mustang garage....

Cool, really Cool

Your neons are amazing ... nice work, man. Where'd you get that HUGE Ford neon? A Dealership?

Thanks for the nice comment. The large Ford neon on porcelain, double-sided sign came from Fred Sayre Motors in Ripley, West Virginia. It was taken down from the front of the dealership in the late 60's when a new sign was installed (as mandated by Ford Motor Company). The sign spent the next few years in storage untill Mr. Sayre contacted me to ask if I might be interested in owning the sign. Incidently, the other Ford oval sign was obtained from the same gentleman. It had hung in the showroom against the front window for as long as I could remember, but I had never seen it lit-up until I got it home and plugged the transformer into an outlet. Imagine my surprise when it lit up in bright colors! Both signs were manufactured by the Mulholland Sign Company in Kalamazoo, Michigan in the 1930's. I have a copy of the original sign company sales brochure showing both signs.

Hot Rod - very nice signs!

Anyone else?

 

[NotQuik]

It still needs alot of work unlike many of these garages but it's a start.

 

[yellow2000S/R]

Nice "beater"! And nice garage. where did you get the 2 gray cabinets? Also gives me an idea for lighting and peg board ideas. Thanks

The cabinets are basically powdercoated steel sheet metal ones that my father gave me to use from his work. It's actually the parents garage on their house but it was bare studs and insulation that was chewed up from mice since mid 80s. I gutted it and did everything by myself besides connecting the 100A service. Running that wire through a 3' crawl space sucked.

3 switches, 220 for my compressor, 220 for my welder, 220 for the A/C, 8 dual T8 lights, 7 outlets, insulated all the walls with r13 and ceiling with r30. Drywall on the ceiling is a pain, nothing is centered anymore from never having much of anything "joining" them to keep center so landing the ends was/is a pain.

Most all supplies were paid for by the parents, labor was by me so I could claim it for now. I do some body/paint and upholstery work out of it. Last 2 cars before the Cobalt that I'm working on now was some work on a 72 Challenger and a 66 Chevelle SS.

Looks great. Your stangs look great. Like the white one!

[wtfovr]

The garage is still a work in progress. I still need to coat the floors and do some more organizing but here it is in all it's glory.

The car is a bigger work in progress!
