Allis Chalmers WD45 from start to finish.

Here is a sculpture of an old Allis Chalmers that I was commissioned to do.

The rear tires were originally used as spacers under the rear springs of my former whip, The Mother of Violence. I know, she doesn't look violent...but the MoV made Chucky look like a Cabbage Patch doll...

Tractor tires...

Washers, bolts, and presto! You've got wheels..

Tractor wheels progress.

A couple of 7/16" allen wrenches make up the rails...

Allen wrench frame...

In goes the engine...

Engine is in

I plasma cut the curved shape of the sides out of some scrap sheet metal, and the front grill is discarded tig rod framed by old allen wrenches.

Front grill and sides...

The exhaust stack..

Exhaust stack...

Fenders are on..

Fenders are on...

And the finished product!
