Question:

How do you mount a car on the ceiling so it looks like it crashed through the roof?

I want to have an illusion in my room that looks like a car falling thorught the roof. You would look up and just see, maybe the front corner of the car. It is proably hard to think of this but this is something I really want to do but have no place to look for help. Please let me know if you have any sugestions.- Amber K

I am certain that you have thought about the ceiling height in your room (can I guess 8'), and how much lower the car would need to be to create the illusion. I'm also certain that you have considered how much dead weight the ceiling has been engineered to carry. Perhaps you will need to consider a plastic or fiberglass replica.
Talk to a junkyard. Buy just the front corner parts (fender, headlight, grill), cut them and screw them to a piece of plywood. Screw the plywood to the ceiling joists. OR: make a paper-mache mold of the front corner of a car, add real headlights and part of the grill. Screw to plywood, just like the other.
