Hey guys, I'm in the process of building a new art car for the 2010 burn and was wondering if anyone had any of the following materials/items they would be interested in donating:
1 1/2" PVC Schedule 40 or 80 pipe
1 1/2" Slip Slide Tee's
1", 1 1/2" or 2" Square aluminum pipe
Any type of conductive and shielded copper wire (color and gauge don't really matter, it's an art car ;)
Speaker wire
Old speakers
5+ HP go cart engine
Bike or motor cycle chain
Old motor cycle or mountain bike parts / gears
So basically the concept is a complete walking vehicle, no wheels what so ever, 12 legs, measuring 13 feet long, 10 feet wide, 12 feet tall, seats 5-6. I've pretty much figured out how to get a 100 percent fluid movement to where its not clunky like others I have seen and its remains perfectly level with no up and down bumpy travel!! I have the plans drawn up and have been in the R&D stage for a couple months to the point where I got the mechanics of it figured out. I have the electrical system(s), clutch brake steering system and sound systems all designed as well...So now its go time for the complete working fabrication and then decoration to begin, after all I only have 320 days left till the man burns =)
If you would like to follow the progress I will be posting pictures on my facebook page located here: www.facebook.com/album.php
Also, not that I need to bribe my fellow burners but I make stickers (among other things, I run a large format printing company) for several camps on playa (Crazy Horse, Purple Palace and a few others). Anyone that is able to help me out I would be more than willing to print 500-1000 stickers for YOUR camp and or a banner or two as trade =) If not hit me up on the playa for a ride anyway! Much love
