Hey all,

I hesitated to ask this because I think it makes me sound like a moron. But=
, in my defense, I am a moron who can't cut wood to save his life: measure =
six times and STILL frell up the cut. So....here goes:

I finally acquired a Datsun tail gate to hang next to a Datsun Roadster hoo=
d that is just about totally covered by lichen. I want to hang these so the=
y stay on the wall. Shop walls are bare stud. (I started to insulate and ha=
ng OSB so the wall would be more solid that drywall. Once I notice that the=
 fool who built this garage put the untreated 2x4s bare on the slab so they=
 are not going to last to make it worthwhile to insulate.) Since I am in WI=
 we get a lot of humidity so I don't want to just put hooks in the studs an=
d place the sheet metal on them.

I am thinking of some sort of wire like hanging a picture with two or three=
 mount points on the wall. But, what should I use for the wire? It needs to=
 be something that won't corrode (obviously).

I've been in bars and restaurants where there has been big stuff hanging fr=
om the ceiling. I've even seen an F1 car hanging. SO, WTF are they using fo=
r this?

Sorry for the verbose ask here.
thanks
tim

When I did something similar, I used a cleat.  I cut a 1x6 in half
lengthwise on the table saw with the blade tilted over to 45 degrees.  This
gave me two pieces of wood that would lock together.  I screwed one to the
wall (aking sure to hit the studs).  I screwed the other to the giant heavy
sign I wanted to hang.  With the Angled part of the cut facing "out" and up
on the wall and out and "down" on the sign.  The angle holds the piece
tight against the wall and the 1x is strong enough to carry a lot of weight.
Here is another use of the same idea.
