Here is what a buddy did. Put up wainscotting or a moulding about 4 or 5 ft from the ground. Dark color on the bottom, moulding another, top wall a lighter color.
You can use your favorite petro company colors ie early Chevron.. Oxblood, Green and Cream.
Then run a shelf or several rows along one wall or all the way around with breaks for tall stuff like a pump.
Dont forget the beer-filled pop cooler and the pool table..
When can we come over???

Be sure to have power to the globes and pumps for lighting. With all the globes on a cuircut, possibly with a dimmer, you can set the brightness. Man I think that would be 2 cool, watchin' the races with a cold one in the light of a hundred globes!!!! If I remember correctly, it was Curt at The Poor Mans Museum, that wallpapered one of his walls with old road maps... Check this out... http://www.oldgas.com/shoptalk/ubb/Forum4/HTML/001197.html

When I built my den, I thought paneling on plywood would look nice & hold a FEW signs. BUT, it was quickly covered with signs & STUFF. Had to STACK the 36B tops ! LOL. db
