I started building the big banana car when I was in Monclova, Ohio near Toledo and these were my neighbours Heather and Scott.

It's hard to work on a project when your design pattern keeps getting eaten!

The actual work on the big banana car was started in Bowling Green Ohio at the home/workshop of Mark Steel.

The day that Spade and I moved the Banana car to Coopersburg PA, it was pelting down.

We got DRENCHED!

It was like I had soaked fully clothed in a cold bath.
Which was something I wanted to do anyway so it worked out okay.

There's something you should know....
...I'm not really a welder.

But Ron Kutt is.

Ron is doing all the serious welding of things that need to stay connected.

The act of welding as art.

Glen and Steve thinking about stuff.

Glenn Singer of CustomServicesCompany sandblasted the very rusty F150 frame and the rebar banana skeleton.

Steve,
I asked my "chien bizarre", Joe, what he thought of the idea of contacting Chiquita for sponsorship of the BBC. I vote "no" because with $$ there are always strings and I prefer to think of the Big Banana Car as a symbol of the free-thinking, free-spirited, slightly mad...... Joe on the other hand is something of a capitalist whore and thinks you should grovel for every corporate dollar, pound, dog biscuit, etc.

I gotta quit smoking.
