    is that all-aluminum f150 rusting? 

    It sure does look like it, steel roof panel maybe?

      Someone kindly translate the overpass ones? I can make out some of the letters, but not really making sense to me.

      SLICK ROSE? Maybe...

      Vile-E and Rose? Two separate artists? I have no clue. Once the letters start overlapping it gets near impossible to decipher. In videos I've seen "writers" trace the letters with their hands to "feel" what was being written, but they obviously have a lot of experience with this...

      The "tags" that are next to the piece also tell you who put it there, and would give you a clue if you were up on these things...

      Edit: Spent more time looking at it and realized the first three pics are all the same pair, third pic is in the opposite order. Still can't say for certain what either of them says...

        This is what I see:

        Vitial / Vitel (more likely an "a" due to his signature)

        RUE - Pretty easy to read

        Spar___ I cant see the whole thing

        Separate artist working together at the same time is the case in the first 3. This is pretty common because you can get more color down faster. Both artists will most likely have pre-drawn examples of what they are going to paint before hand and just copy it to the wall. Both will likely layout their own outlines, but will work together to do fills, shadows, and highlights.

              Very "lucky" that only 1 person died in that explosion. The other firefighter that was near the building when it exploded very nearly died as well. Everyone involved did a great job at containment and evacuating people.

                  Well it's a big day today.  I'm putting in my two weeks notice at Hormel Foods.  I'm taking a job back in Wisconsin!  Nine years ago I graduated from Northcentral Technical College in Wausau with an AAS in Electromechanical Technology and went to work for Hormel Foods in Dubuque, IA.  Through that time I was a Maintenance Electrician, then an Instrumentation Technician, then moved to their Engineering R&D group near Austin, MN as a Programming Technician, basically an hourly Controls Engineer.

                  I will be going back to NTC as an instructor in the Electromechanical Technology department.  Hormel is a great company to work for it's mostly about being closer to family.  Both my family and my wife's family live near Wausau.

                  So this is pretty exciting but also happening pretty fast.  Yikes.

                      Thanks, yea it isn't finished but it's a good start for whatever somebody else wants it to be.  I just trenched in a 100A feeder and installed a breaker box out there last weekend.

                                I've been looking at this trying to determine if it's photoshop. Looks real, hoods even cut...

                                  Ive never seen that intake manifold before. Leads me to believe it's photoshop strictly because of that lol

                                      Took zero pictures this weekend.

                                      "Fixed" the rad fan on the e21. (kept blowing fuses. took it off, tested it, worked fine. put it back on, works fine...)

                                      Other than that, just dug up some stuff out of storage that I need to get rid of. Looking forward to getting my new apartment. Not looking forward to moving.

                                        Took zero pictures this weekend.

                                        "Fixed" the rad fan on the e21. (kept blowing fuses. took it off, tested it, worked fine. put it back on, works fine...)

                                        Other than that, just dug up some stuff out of storage that I need to get rid of. Looking forward to getting my new apartment. Not looking forward to moving.

                                        Sounds like the perfect fix. 
                                        I heard Brett showed up and put in an equal amount of effort.

                                          Moving sucks. I hate it. Amazing how much $h!t you accumulate over the years.
