Burning Man: How to make an Art Car or Mutant Vehicle

My 2nd time to Burning Man in 2014, I decided to build an art car / mutant vehicle. I wasn't a part of any camp and really wanted to see if I could build my own car. It was a hard project to do with my limited time, but I was able to finish the final details at the event. I wasn't able to find many details on how to build an art car here on Youtube, so I thought it would be a good idea to show people how I made mine.

I decided to use PVC because I did not have time to teach myself how to weld. If I was going to do it again, I would not have used faux fur. The 2014 rain storm really made a mess of the fur. Also, the dust storm, really changed the overall look of my panda. He went from white to brown pretty quick.

Overall, it is a big undertaking, but it is extremely rewarding driving your artwork and having hundreds of people appreciate your work. Hearing your name "PANDA!" called out every 3 minutes is pretty awesome. Giving people rides in the city and hearing that you "made their burn" makes all of the hard work worth while.
