Auto part statuette, 'Rustic Dump Truck'
Mexican artist Armando Ram�rez transforms scrap metal and auto parts into a heavy-duty truck. The tires are car bearings from the electrical system, as well as metal tubes and discarded pieces from a die machine. The cabin and upturned tray are made from iron sheets, thick wire, screws, and mesh. Two cogs from a car's electrical system recreate the mechanisms that upturn the tray. The headlights are made from discarded pieces from a die machine, and the trunk, roof, and fenders are shaped from metal sheets. Please note it is the artist's intention not to give his sculptures a fine polished finish, therefore smudges and scratches may be present.
