I just had an epefin.........epifin..........ephinon..........uhh....a sudden good idea.

I just ripped the whole front off the almost ready to sand paint museum building because it just came to me how I wanted to do it.

I had gotten some of the shelf dividers that are used with big cans of spray paint when they replaced some of the "test surfaces" on the paint rack at a friend's store. I figured they would come in handy for something and I think I just figured out what.

This is one side and not quite half of the front of the building. I'm panning on a section of glass frontage on either side of double doors for the entrance. I'll paint the whole thing with sand paint to give it a prestressed concrete look with some assorted signage on the building and the parking lot walls to dress things up a little and give it a racing flavor.

When I get the front windows and entry doors cut out I may add a covered entryway I'll know more whether I've hit the look I'm after. There'll be a different roof treatment and the foundation will probably have gravel border and some boxing for shrubbery.

I'm planning on using the gravel and curbing surround on the building to make it removable for easier storage, After all, it's gonna be sitting on a scale 96 foot by 180 foot walled in lot with landscaping.

It's two stories with a movie theatre upstairs continuously showing vintage short subjects, documentaries and movies like "Redline 7000", "Thunder in Carolina" and, of course, "Thunder Road".

Keep a close eye on this forum for updates and to see if you get invited to the grand opening so you can be ready. Rent a tux? Of course not. So you can make sure you've got a Wynn's Friction Proofing warmup jacket and a pair of white paints and Wellingtons or penny loafers. RC and moon pies anyone?
