Formerly Headless Muffler Man

Visited with my sister. Had to park (temporarily and quickly) at the pizza shop across the street. The Muffler Man looked fabulous -- fresh paint and complete. Although his hands/arms were empty.

His feet seem to have sunk into the ground, but the head looks great.

An impressive example of fiberglass statue endurance (or neck plumbing), this one survived 14 years with nothing above his shirt collar.

Muffler Man - Head Ahead

This guy's headless days are almost over according to the workers at Lugnutz Tire Service. They have restored the Bunyan head and will soon repaint their football player back into the lumberjack he used to be. I stopped and got the scoop and some last pictures before the restoration starts -- hopefully some time this summer, they said.
