Here Comes Mad Max ... Otherwise Known As Pete Steele
Many of you have asked about THE CAR... The Mad Max Car ...
In the late 80s, Peter bought a car that he completely stripped off the chrome, pulled off the bumpers and replaced them with large wooden planks. He painted the car a black flat paint, and spray painted his own symbols on it. He mounted large bright lights onto the top of it, so if someone dared to put their brights on him from behind, they were blinded by his super bright spots. He installed a truck horn so you knew to get out of his way when he was driving.
The inside of the car was completely gutted. He dismantled the dashboard so you could see the bar bones. He pulled off the inside of the doors, till he exposed only the raw metal. He removed the back seats and rigged the front seats so that you were almost sitting on the floor with the seat locked in a position where the back seats used to be. There was no cushioning on the roof. Only the seats were comfortable. Everything was bare, gray colored, and very Mad Max looking.
The Car went through various stages of decor ... First he painted it Black. Then it became the signature Green. Then it was painted camouflage. Then it was painted black again with Russian symbols. Then it was repainted with the hazard stripes. Whatever color or design it had, everyone recognized Peter in the car and people would point or wave when he drove down the street.
Driving with Peter in the car ... that's another story for another time ...
Perfect for a giant ... Perfect for Mad Max ... Perfect for Pete Steele
