Almost Done August 20








Tempted, those tormented, adam and god, eve the tormentor, and redemption on the front hood. The rolling illuminated manuscript!

End of patch and paint phase 1

There are two sides of the new cab top. One side shows barbie in her role as eve about to take an apple in the garden. The other a more hellish side is of the fall and contains the turbine with woodie spinning around. Eventually the magnets on the door will be replaced with xylophones. The task has been to give the truck a more unified folk art theme that is the fall of adam and eve. Eventually baby jesus to be installed in larger form on hood to go with verses of adam ebounded.

Rebuild following decapitation July August 2009


Demolition begins- aluminum cap super saturated with unusually heavy rains this spring colapsed inward so out cam the reciprocating saw...it took three days to remove and a few more to haul away the mess....

Parts recycled from the cab installed on the cap. Lots of foam something like 20-30 cans


Turbine fan behind the no sun block barbies. This is second stage of foam work one more or so to go.

The bell of the alphorn- so good to have something actually happen and get done. Refreshing in a year when everything seems to be way behind schedule. Posted by Picasa
