Details

Armando Ramirez's practical sense of art guides him in the design of this fantastic chopper motorbike. The tires are bearings from a car's electric system, while the chopper's fuel tank once used to be a rocker arm from a car's ignition. The engine is shaped from discarded die pieces as well as from a timing chain. The headlight is a spring from a car engine, the handles are made of thick wire and the exhaust pipe is cut from a metal tube.

Please note it is the artist's intention not to give his sculptures a fine polished finish, therefore smudges and scratches may be present.

This was a gift for my husband, and he and our little boy had a good time trying to name all the car parts that comprise this precious little sculpture. Very whimsical!
