My chip collection problem & solution comments OK

OK, I have been collecting for 20 yrs, now have about 7 thousand chips, a lot of dups. My kids, wife, realitives, and grandkids have no interest. Prices are nowdays very low for A-F value chips. I don't want to sell for 50-100% of face, my A-F value chips. I have many dups. and about 2-3 thousand chips in the A-F value range. So what do I do? Possible solution, so I can see and enjoy them, I have a wild idea. We have a 2 yr old Suv, nice car, and probably our last new car. So the hood of our car is about 15 sq. ft. this equals about 900 chips, my idea is to glue chips to the hood in straight rows, and put epoxy evenly over the chips. (professional body/paint shop). This way when I drive my car I can see and enjoy some of my collection. Also, maybe get some comments, and a opportunity to tell folks about our club. At least a conversation would be develop. Could lead to a newspaper article, and give our club some publicy. I could call it the "chip car" with name on my license plate, or a banner on rear window. Would like the table top epoxy chips at the old Sparkey's casino in gardnerville, Nv., but on my hood. Maybe I'm nuts what do you think.
