Village of PolyParadise ART CAR - BRC 2022

September 10, 2021

With many lessons learned from Memorial Day WKD; we made significant progress on the PolyParadise People Mover to a Mutant Vehicle worthy of a DMV BRC License.  Even though it might seem like we have a lot of time to get this all done - time flies by and then June & July move into August - You know the drill; you think you have lot of time - you have months to get this all done.

Over the past few months I was able to get a lot of things done & marked complete on the vehicle build. As we are doing this build during the Phoenix 100+ temp and not very many people are up @ sunrise ready to work as I am to get plenty done and be in the pool for the 1st time of the day by ~9:00a.

I put in the work and of course the $$$$ for our Burn Week gathering with projects staged and ready for installation instead of being @ the design & fabrication stage.  With this in mind we will be able to see a more completed vision together as Burn Week progresses.

On Saturday night we took the vehicle out for its MAIDEN VOYAGE rolling around our neighborhood - SUCCESS - SUCESS - SUCESS!!!!

Accomplished During Burn Week...

Check-in on the posted PolyParadise Art Car - Images/Videos

**** Seat Skirts - Finished customizing each seat skirt to fit that specific seat stanchion.

**** Over Roof Box - Finished fabricating the over the roof box - Installed over said roof & fastened to Roof Supports.  Installed inner flooring deck. Installed speakers.

**** Paint Flooring - The flooring has been painted free hand and with stencils with UV-Paint - Flooring then painted over with Waterproof Clear coat.

**** Back-End Flooring - Fabricated an extension of the flooring to the back of the vehicle for the Generator - created a section on the underside of that extension for the Tail Lights.

**** Roof Fabric - Secured Velcro to the underside of the roof and installed  the UV-Fabric.

**** UV-Lights - Installed the overhead UV-Light Strips 

**** Rear Bar - Start build of the Bar that will face the back of the vehicle that will fit over the existing handrails of the seat the used to be there.

What are the NEXT Projects for the Art Car?

**** Top Panel Lights/Lettering - Started the idea of using the Flexible Neon Tubing to crate PolyParadise on one side | Burning Man 2022 on one side | Man / Heart / Infinity Symbol on the front.  The Back of the top box will be a 4"x3' Programmable LED Panel (Need to start to figure that part all out)

**** Raise the vehicle on jacks and use the grinder to remove the rust and crud from the frame - then paint the cleaned frame with Truck Bed-Liner Paint.

**** Rear Bar Ice Trough - Need to purchase two soft side coolers and create a shelf in the rear compartment to hold the coolers - Create a curtain or other type of way to hide the ice area but make it easily assessable.

 **** Front Vehicle Decorating - Decorate & adorn the front of the vehicle with fabric and Googly Eyes.

 **** Roof Stanchion Decorating - Excited to see what the French Team creates to hide said Roof Stanchions.
