Nice truck! The top shot with all of the cans and beakers and stuff make it look like this thing was created in Frankenstein's Lab!

Wow, that's extremely clever. Now if you could somehow turn it into a functional track cleaner you'd be set.

I love Bobs work. I have to pick a few posters up next show. I think he use to do work for Mad magazine, or Cracked magazine, one of the goofy kid books I use to read all the time.

yeah, his stuff is great. I have a couple, but I never got around to mounting them and I hate to just tack them up... I try to get one whenever I see him at a show.

I love it....

We sell a bunch of these AFX Semi bodies (6/$20.00) to guys that customize. I've seen pics of the car hauler, cement, dump, Army, water truck etc. but not the snow truck...great idea!
