My Sculpture class is kinda unusual, to start with... our last project (starting in November) will be an 'Art-o-Mobile', or an piece of art that you can actually ride about...


As we'll be learning how to weld, I'm thinking to buy some cheap bikes at like Goodwill or something-- they have 'em for ten bucks over there-- cut them apart, and use the tires. Not quite sure what I'll use for the framework, but anyway, I'm thinking to shape some sheet metal and turn it into this...



Opinions? Questions? Comments?

(And yes, that is MS Paint. Knocked that out in about, eh, half an hour?)

Good start loooks like a morgan. need a biger fender. loks wery thigt.

That looks interesting. Keep us up to date with your progress (pictures required ).

For the frame, sheet metal. if your gonna use bike tires, you'll need a light body frame. maybe a junk yard or something to get your sheet metal. Can't wait to see the finished thing !
