I was at Hobby Lobby today and spotted two things fellow enthusiasts like us might like for our man caves. First was a nice 24" x 24" print of a nightmist 1967 GT500 on canvas. Price is only $36.99.

I like everything about it except the front license plate with the prancing Mustang logo on it. Aside from that, it kinda reminds me of Michael (2112)'s car 0875, a personal favorite of mine.
Second is a 12" x 15" metal sign of a 1968 GT350, more specifically car 0020. It only cost $5.99.

I found it rather odd that they would include the full VIN plate for the 1968, but I guess it's a well known car and the current owner (Ken Carlson of Tacoma, WA) has nothing to worry about. Still, would you let them pust your VIN plate on the sign? Am I just being paranoid (as usual)?

Mr B nice prints, definitely going to purchase the 1967.
Thanks for sharing

VIN plate is a non issue IMO. Although good looking my historical sensibilities would keep me from getting the 68 print because of the many past owner added modification. The 67 print however is a proud representation IMO. I will squint a little so i don't see the running horse.
Good finds
The plate on the 67 needs to be CA VRD389 - the Blue Lady
The metal sign looks like it was originally a portion of someone show board.
Don't worry Bob, I already shipped one out to you and sent the bill to Tony in Florida (FL SAAC). Just kidding guys, lol.
Yes, Hobby Lobby has some neat stuff. I have the '67 Shelby as pictured...bought it a couple of years ago during X-Mas. Also, some Mopar, 442, and others...
Intend to buy more for Christmas again.
My best Hobby Lobby buy was this toolbox.

Hi all,
Thanks for posting this......it shows there are still some affordable things in this hobby.
The tool box artwork looks like Michael Irvine's He often uses a car reflected in the side profile of car. This toolbox appears to be a great gift idea!!

These photos are from the previous car owner taken in the early 1990's. I was surprised to see this at Hobby Lobby also. I purchased the car about 12 years ago and have made several corrections in the engine compartment.

I bought a couple of them about 4 or 5 years ago And gave one to Richard Rodeck, my best friend who restored the number 16 car That is painted on the box and a few more Trans Am cars. I haven't seen anymore since then.

Back straight at Riverside. By that time the sides of the bridge were solid to keep spectators from gathering. A little bit of artistic license showing a green hillside in background......
Tidbit. in the early days they held drag races on the back straight. It was a slight downhill so a lot to records got set. NHRA track specs have a max elevation change allowable between the start and finish lines. They used Riverside as the guideline. I wonder if it changed when it closed?

Agreed. There is always some frustrating detail as in when they do a run of 1:64 R models and put the number 86 on it instead of 98.
Ha ha look at the print on the wall above the Union Jack cushion on the couch, I've had it for a few years now,actually the shop that did the restoration gave it to me as a gift after the completion of my restoration and the owner of the shop and the head tech both signed the back of it ,along with the $100,000 invoice for said restoration lol
Not a Shelby, but this is a pretty cool metal sign that I picked up several years ago. But I think it might have been from Summit Racing.
