build an art car

I want to turn my 1990 Lebaron convertible into a volcano for this year at BM 09

i have very little engineering skill, understand basic mechanics, i cant weld (yet) and ive neer really done anything like this…ever. but mack & i are going to build a damn art…cart. hopefully it wont tax us too much in the wallet (hahahaha) and hopefully it wont drive us crazy. see you next year.

i a want personal luxury out at the burn! for those who have been, you know the value of a small chunk of personal space….for water, resting, movement, gear, clothes, friends, drinks, shade, tunes, etcetcetc….

Everything is going slowly. I almost can’t stand it. I’m on my third mechanic, but I think this one is going to be the good one. Currently the Elky is sleeping in the school parking lot—and several people have looked into having it towed, thereby proving the parking tag system completely useless.

Art Cars about 1 in Reno, 1 in Moab,

interesting how purple on a car, and space ship
silver combines to make me laugh…

the world could use more art cars…

The tech school is currently “pimping my ride” for the cost of parts. So far I’ve shelled out $30-some for a carburator kit. We’re also talking heat, air conditioning, transmission, radio…maybe even outlets in the back. I’m downright jazzed. I need to get cracking on some sketches and start making clay slabs of color. Life is good.

I got word in the mail yesterday that the state is going to pony up $1,289 for me to glue stuff to my car. Is this a great country or what?!?

the art car did it, i googled art car because, nicole and i wanted to go the Austin City Limits music fest but without tickets, we would have to win the VIP tickets, through the art car contest. How do you build an art car? So i googled it.
and up came an entry about “worth doing it” HUH? , so someone described the art car they built for burning man. And then somehow i registered for this site, so then i had my name up and pasting and adding, and its a swirl really, but then i had my mom building her site, and she was up at 6 am blogging, and now i am posting poetry and cheering matty, who i have never met, for his ironman race, this is great i am addicted, 43things for president and i am breaking away to load my car to take my much needed vacation, the one thing i want to know, do the razr photos from my phone up load to this crazy site?...love and light, Jkuhl

And I basically finished my grant application today. It’s feeling good to do something for me. (Since I don’t think the NPSO grant is going to fly anyway). Any money for tile would JUST ROCK.

I have the Elky back from its initial romp with Jeff. So the bodywork has been done, mechanical things have been tweaked, and there’s a French horn mounted on the front that blows bubbles. Life is good.
