Re: Pink Floyd Bus
This concept was the group's reaction to the psychedelic space rock imagery associated with Pink Floyd at the time of the album's release; the band wanted to explore all sorts of music without being limited to a particular image or style of performance. They thus requested that their new album had "something plain" on the cover, which ended up being the image of a cow. Storm Thorgerson, inspired by Andy Warhol's famous "cow wallpaper," has said that he simply drove out into a rural area near Potters Bar and photographed the first cow he saw. The cow's owner identified her name as "Lulubelle III" .

Re: Pink Floyd Bus
Longtime Floyd collaborator Storm Thorgerson provided the album artwork. He erected two large metal heads, each the height of a double-decker bus, in a field near Ely. The sculptures were positioned close together, and photographed in profile, to give the illusion that not only were they either facing or talking to each other, they also presented the viewer with a third face. The sculptures were devised by Keith Breeden, and constructed by John Robertson. Ely Cathedral is visible on the horizon. The sculptures are now in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio.

Re: Pink Floyd Bus
NOTE: Unfinished Paintjob.. Still a work in progress..
The album's cover image was inspired by the idea that people tend to conceal their true feelings, for fear of "getting burned", and thus two businessmen were pictured shaking hands, one man on fire. "Getting burned" was also a common phrase in the music industry, used often by artists denied royalty payments. Two stuntmen were used (Ronnie Rondell and Danny Rogers), one dressed in a fire-retardant suit covered by a business suit. His head was protected by a hood, underneath a wig. The photograph was taken at the Warner Bros. studios in Los Angeles. Initially the wind was blowing in the wrong direction, and the flames were forced into Rondell's face, burning his moustache. The two stuntmen changed positions, and the image was later reversed.

Re: Pink Floyd Bus
Thanks for the encouragement...
I am currently looking for replacement front doors for my bus.. I was thinking about fabricating my own replacements using the same glass and rubber weatherstripping of the existing rusty doors, but I would ultimately like to replace with factory parts, new or used.

Re: Pink Floyd Bus
drivers door? J/Y or check out keystone (shipping might be rough)
passenger door? maybe just use a residential door? Check out wades J/Y in alto, GA http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j...75775273,d.cWc

Re: Pink Floyd Bus
Bansil.. Thanks for the response..
I really like the look and feel of the original passenger doors. So if I can't find replacements, a rebuild would be my best option... When the time comes I will post pictures of the doors before and after..
