Greg 's truck pit

[gregory O]

cut and past of a post from another forum I belong to about some progress on my shoe for the bus





we need to find a way to fold up the shoe to make a 14 foot height
limit to enter the parade and prove to the officials that we can raise
and lower the prop without stopping. we can not leave anyone one on the
bus that is not tethered or seated so we need a way to fold the shoe up
automatically ????????????????



our first step is to cut up the shoe in pieces that can be connected a with hinges.





Since the design of the shoe was not intended to be mechanical we need
to make a chassis or backbone for each section to be individually
supported and maintain each section in the original shape.







the shoe gets cut







once again more time is put into making the heel a leaver, notice the upright and hinge







the metal was primed then painted silver









tucked atop the bus is the toe of the shoe. it is hard to see which may
pose some additional work prior to the event. I am hoisting up one more
section below
