Pete M Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 after years of searching and trading I finally have the collection of NOS parts I need for the artwork on my wall. :D bedside, gas tank door, flare, mudflap, taillight, and bumper end cap. :banana: all new old stock parts. I don't yet have all of the necessary hardware, so that's why things look a bit off (held up with tape and binder clips). :( In the far future I'm thinking of painting the bedside '92 Eliminator green. maybe with repo Eliminator decals. closeup of my signed poster and new Archer pin :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: doing a bit of a happy dance :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 by the way, that deep red color of the taillight is now my favorite color. :drool: maybe someday I can get a photo that does it justice. it makes my awesome taillight that was previously up there look like total crap! I had no idea how awesome the lights were when new :clapping: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinkrun Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 DO you need rear flare brackets? I have a set not new will need new bolts welded in not to bad of shape free if you want them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 I appreciate the offer :thumbsup: but since this will never see 70mph, a couple plain bolts hold it in place pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Looks great Pete, but can't see all of it. Can you get a shot of the entire bedside on the wall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 I will once I've cleaned up and unbox some more of my MJ paraphernalia to put on the top shelf. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOrnbrod Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I'm jealous.............. A full front clip with working lights & fogs, grille, & bumper would be nice too. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 well, I've got a couple front ends in decent shape. :yes: but that would likely be shop/garage decor since they don't need climate control (also, I'm trying to limit the MJ stuff to just the one wall :rotf:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankTheDog Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I have a mint 1987 aluminum wheel with unused tire on it I'd give you to fill up that wheel well. Just would need some kind of Comanche Club express to get from CT to GA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 hmmm... interesting idea. :brows: as it is now, there's a bookcase right underneath it, but I guess that probably won't be there forever. I have a feeling I might get some flak from my family for a tire hanging on the wall, but the wheel shouldn't be a problem. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, then you do as you please. To mount it to the wall, mount a front wheel bearing to a plate and screw the plate to the wall. That way the tire can spin.
