And here it is at Burning Man all finished

And it was a great hit at night too with all the flex neon lightning. It looks fantastic.

Something's wrong here. I am sure the title says Big RED Baja. Looks unpainted to me. Great work though!

Big Red was the name of the fire engine the Baja is build on, so the name just stuck.
