    WALL HANGERS FOR MY NEW SHOP

    You could use 1/2 EMT and flatten them out a little in a vice, sort of oval-ed you could say. Would be thinner but give the illusion of larger Dia. pipes.

    WALL HANGERS FOR MY NEW SHOP

    Some 3/4 EMT tubing long sweeps at lowes/home depot would look the part. Screw the first to the wall and then stagger each one down 1/4 to 1/2 inch to show each tip.

    WALL HANGERS FOR MY NEW SHOP

    I think it was mentioned earlier, either paint or cut out black paper for the rear wheels, make them as big as you want and looks proper depth wise. Would also give a dark background for the Zoomies to be against.
