Picked up a nice 38-7 the other day
#16

The 38-7XX grille is exactly the same size as those wonderful Velvet Elvis paintings that one can find for sale on street corners and in front of gas stations everywhere. If you use the velvet elvis for the grillecloth and add a black light pilot light the effect is stunning. The local kids tell me it would look even better if I smoked one of those little pink cigarettes they roll themselves, but I tell them I would rather dip copenhagen, and that smoking will stunt their growth and make their fingers yellow. That always cracks them up. Kids these days.........

If there are no velvet elvis' available, the unicorn painting or the dogs playing poker are good grillecloth replacements too!

But under no circumstances install a painting of those spaceships from the first Boston album. That would look silly.
