5 AMATEUR MECHANICS WHO TURNED THEIR CAR INTO WORK OF ART
1. The Carthedral: A Cathedral on Wheels
Built from a hearse and topped with a VW Bug, Rebecca Caldwell's Carthedral is an ambitious gothic car art piece.
The piece is entirely street legal, and features spires, buttresses, and other gothic flourishes you'd expect to find in a several-centuries-old church.
2. The Phantom
Built by Truant Studios' William T. Burge, The Phantom began with only a VW motor, an axle, suspension and steering. Burge built the entire body from scratch, welding small pieces of steel together to create the car's iconic look.
It features three imposing gargoyle heads, and its design is based on that of a 1936 Bugatti Atlantic.
3. Thor: The Norse God of Cars
Built in Denver, Colorado, the Thor art car started as a Burning Man mutant vehicle project. Since its debut at the festival, it has traveled the world.
The double-decker vehicle is a mobile party space, with lightweight metal framing providing the basis for its iconic helmet
4. Golden Gate Bridge: An American Landmark Gone Mobile
The Golden Gate Bridge debuted at 2013's Burning Man to a hugely positive response. Built and operated by Reno's No Town Beats, the art car brought the spirit of a San Francisco landmark to the middle of the desert.
The bridge's platform operates as a stage for DJs, allowing the car to travel and host musical events.
5. Bixi 909: A Dragon With a Team of 120 People
Created by creative community, Moonwalk Mission, the Bixi 909 can carry up to 100 people. It features a pagoda housing a DJ booth, as well as a dance floor and stripper pole.
Bixi's dragon head can spit flames, and is maintained by a camp of up to 120 people each year.
