| The Milktropolis mutant vehicle was built by Jon Zensius, Bob Dow, Natalie Zensius and Stephanie Rose for this years burning man event. This project took 9 months of hard work and was a test of their skills, friendships and marriages. It's wood and fiberglass and a wee bit of steel in the corners on a Ford Explorer body. The Cereal Bowl seats 8 and the carton accommodates 4. There are 100 hand sewn cereal shaped pillows in the bowl for comfort. It's driven from up in the carton area and the drive train is done with bike chains from steering wheel to a home brew rotor and back to steering wheel. Gas and brakes are controlled via one of the former power window motors. It also has over 5000 LED lights for night time driving, that runs on a 1000w portable generator. Passengers have the pleasure of entering Milktropolis via a "spoon" ladder and exit via a pool slide. It was a huge hit and we will returning in 2011 with a few modifications in case you missed it but my only question is 1% or 2%??? | ||

ReplyDeleteI completely missed Milktropolis out in the desert. Glad to hear it'll be back next year.
ReplyDeleteBTW, an entire site dedicated to artcars? That's an instant follow. Awesome!
Thanks for the comments and welcome on board, feel free to post a link to art car from your sites. Every bit helps.
ReplyDeletePassed on the link to a friend doing a much bigger spread on Burning Man. I mean... if anyone asks what a mutant vehicle is... what better site to point them to?
ReplyDeleteWe will be providing Milk N' Cookies this year at the Burn! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/459085107/cookies-n-milk-at-burning-man?ref=recently_launched
ReplyDeleteWe'd love it if the Milktropolis wanted to stop by!
