Well I'm so close to having my dream of man cave/billiard room I can smell it...and my senses are right on.
Just finished painting the room since I had some free time (even though no money for table yet lol). Glad I did though, took 2 full days to make it look like this (looked like butt before down there).
BUT, am I glad I did...God is good all the time! The pool table guy called TODAY and offered me free nice 8ft table tomorrow since I've helped him with another truck many times so he wanted to bless me back. Woohoo.
Need ideas on man cave art ...Jeep stuff, off-road stuff, car stuff...NO GIRL posters or banners please, thank you. Looking for ideas of stuff to make that would look cool.. Between welder, plasma cutter, tools and all kinds of random metals and parts laying around lets see some ideas of homemade man cave art. Thanks guys and please keep this PG.

Lol wasn't sure at first but tried it and came together good. Was really going for game room/billiards look and I think it works
 
Should be putting this stuff up when I’m off over Christmas.

I got a thing for automotive press release photos...can be had on eBay for a couple bucks each.

No man cave is complete without some reference to alcohol. So snagged these of Knoxville and Charlotte in one of the bourbon secondary groups for $10/ea.

Then my Crown Jewels. A 79 Ford Indy Pace truck dealer poster, 1 of 8 known to still exist. And the editor proofs for the cover, centerfold and back of the 69 Performance Digest.

Then I hang these over doors/windows. Black is the standard 73-79 ford tailgate panel. Orange is the 76-79 Freewheeler/79 Indy pace panel. Brown is the 76-77 xlt luxury panel.

A true gentleman also has a library area...the book shelf and boxes are packed with all of ford’s fact manuals, accessory manuals, data books, source books, master part catalogs, dealer brochures, etc etc for trucks from 1957-1997.

I’m basically the Martha Stewart of man caves. But just some ideas around, autos/alcohol/sports.
 
Ben do you have anymore of those Ford tailgate badges? Thought about hanging an old Ford tailgate but now that I’m looking for one they seem to have gotten way more valuable than shop art should be.

Those 3 are about $600 combined. But the black can be had for $75-100 by itself. Don’t have anything else used, but I have a few NOS...$300 and you can use it however you want...haha. But I’ll keep an eye out for a cheap one for you.

Thanks, if you find any mid 70’s truck beds that are in ruff shape with the tailgate I’d be interested in them to make a flip down bench in the shop from one. Have to be cheap cause I’ve got a Just Empty Every Pocket aka a JEEP if you know what I mean.
 
Great stuff, have to get on the web to look up some stuff.
Anyone know specific website for jeep stickers/art and such
 
Giant American flag is a must.
Some old hubcaps
Old gas station signs
A nudie calendar (male or female. Your choice)
Flat screen
Surround sound
Neon bar lights (used, they’re expensive as hell new)
Old shotgun above the door
Kegerator
NASCAR / hot rod stuff
A picture of John Wayne in the Green Beret

My man cave / movie room. That’s a 38” TSL that was a spare on my first ever lifted truck. Had a piece of glass cut round to make it a table.
 
Def needs a bar at least long enough to lay down behind, has to have a damn "pole" for structural support of course! Your woman will love it I promise... and last but not least a picture of that orange xj with tramp cage and cat radiator! Just saying... looks good tho I dig the color too!

Excuse me, no flaming allowed on this thread!! Go elsewhere with that junk! (And fyi, we are friends and I work/help him with his vehicles and some local pool table jobs when he needs me.)
And absolutely thank The Lord because He works through people. You may not understand and that's ok but I give God praise for everything cause it all comes from Him!

I have the idea of making a small bar using the 37"tire as the base/stand..weld steel coming off the rim on angles to support the top... Something like that lol, rough sketch in my head right now but would look awesome
