Is this to much bling ?
Donated all my trophies to a cub scout pack for their pinewood derby, I though I would get one last photo of them

Re: Is this to much bling ?
I bet a lot of purists hate the color combo on your sport coupe, but I love it...

If that was my car, the only change I'd make is to remove the stone guard. |

Re: Is this to much bling ?
The Cub Scout Pack is a good place. As you have most certainly found out, the trophies all have an "applied" name/award plate that can be easily pried off with a pocket or x-acto knife - and this replaced with another brass plate which the Scouts will likely do.
I still have my trophy as "Eagle Scout of the Year - 1973" from which the label has dropped. Hopefully the values instilled have stuck a little better. I do like the Congratulatory Citation given to me at that Court of Honor - signed by none other than Richard M. Nixon. There is some irony in that. And the colors are fine - they're YOU. Joe K.

Re: Is this to much bling ?
Thanks all, I did remove the placards, I made a mounting plaque, routing a nice edge and placing a round framed photo of the car and trophies at the top. After retirement and impending move south I didn't really have the room and I did see the need to keep them. It would have been another thing to move and Lord knows I have enough junk...at least that's what the wife says When I complete the mounting plaque I will post a photo

Re: Is this to much bling ?

Re: Is this to much bling ?
Wonderful car -- the white walls even match the white top very well.
Young innocent children about 7 or so, are many times the most outstanding consultants for choosing different color combinations & different aesthetic designs etc. Just ask them for an opinion, listen, & begin to learn something valuable-- no preconceived concepts or opinions, no bias. Appears many older folks begin to hate specific colors no matter how displayed. |
