I’m here to tell you: The Party Snail was purchased by a group of 5 investors who pooled the funds and approached Van with a proposal which, happily, he accepted. The new owners are Wristy, Twisty, Christian, MacGyver and KathyKat, and we are very very proud!

Have not been able to capture many photos so much from the few work days I have attended. So to me, it doesn’t feel like so much progress, yet when I compare them to the last photos I posted, I can really see the progress.
 Party Snail 070909 Front ViewStill working out the Hood Dance Platform supports. Left long for now. Cut always cut more away, hard to put it back after cutting. |
 Party Snail 070909 Generator ShelfThe front area will house the 5000 Kw gas generator and engine cooling fan. Above will be the Dance Pole and platform just above the hood. |
 Party Snail 070909 Left SideImagine in your mind, a bench seat hanging off the left covering the rear wheel. We have hanging hardware and bench seats that will be added when we arrive on playa. |
 Party Snail 070909 Dance PlatformThe Dance platform being painted. This will go in place over the hood, with some hinged ability to allow for engine access if needed. |
 Party Snail 070909 Hood ViewStanding up on the top platform, looking down on the section of the hood that the dance platform will sit. |
 Party Snail 070909 Inside CabIt’s Pink! Oh so pink! Hard to see the “lounge” area that is now in the right-hand side of the cab. A control switch box will be placed against the ceiling. Stereo equipment up behind the driver’s seat. |
 Half Platform from rearWith one side of the platform built, you can almost see how the lower snuggle area will come together. |
 Half Platform Front ViewThe front posts were the hardest to cut and place. Many odd angles. Thanks to Gidget for her awesome cuts! |
 Welding in place |
 Platform!!After all our welding, we test with one of the platforms. More cross braces will need to be put in and the platform needs to be bolted to the frame, yet it’s good! |
We got together for a short work day yesterday. Six of us came together and actually got some work done! Plan on working more Sunday.
 Cut AwayWristy cuts away half the dash to make room for the mini-lounge. |
 Board UpWristy has installed a backing for the mini-lounge. |
 Grind DownRoot works on grinding clean the section of the truck we plan to weld a post to. |
 Plate InVan works on making sure the plate of metal we plan to use will fit properly before cutting. |
 Hard at work.(Wristy in the truck) sCary, Root, Van, and Mr. Cool all working. You can see the 4 platform peices off to the right. Each is 40″ x 96″ and will make up the 160″ total platform when constructed side by side. |
