Description
Our Tow Mater wall sculptures are uniquely handcrafted using specialized coloring techniques that bring Radiator Springs’ beloved tow truck to life in steel. Each charming piece begins with an original hand-drawn rendering capturing Mater’s iconic features – his rustic tow hook, signature buck teeth, expressive eyes, and trusty boom crane – all precision laser cut from 14-gauge Type 316L Marine Grade stainless steel.
This version features a vibrant colored finish that will match the cheerful scene shown in the photo (coming soon), bringing Mater’s rustic charm to life. Every Disney-Pixar inspired wall sculpture captures the heart and humor of everyone’s favorite tow truck. I personally grind and shape each Mater sculpture to perfection before applying the colorful finish. Unlike our heat-treated pieces, these sculptures feature carefully applied colors that capture his signature look – from his well-worn brown paint to his rusty patina and bright blue eyes. Each piece is lovingly crafted to ensure consistent, beautiful results while maintaining unique artistic touches that make no two pieces exactly alike.
The finished steel sculpture is carefully fitted by hand with marine grade stainless brackets to achieve perfect balance in its mounting position. Though these pieces are engineered for outdoor installation, periodic inspection of the fittings is recommended for optimal maintenance. All sculptures come complete with stainless steel brackets and mounting hardware.
Specifications:
– Material: 14-gauge (0.075 inch) Type 316L Marine Grade Stainless Steel
– Finish: Colored finish for vibrant, lasting appeal

These automotive pieces are proudly handcrafted in Central Florida, bringing Cars’ most lovable character to life through unique artistic interpretation.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Armando R. Hevia, a passionate artist and sport fisherman enthusiast, was born in Havana, Cuba, but moved to the U.S. as a young child. He has lived Orlando, Florida since 1972. Fortunately, Florida is a premier destination for fishing, and the open seas have given him a wide realm of both observation and discernment, fueling his creativity to replicate sea life in his own vision.
Armando has always loved to draw, and studied both Commercial Art and Welding at Mid-Florida Tech in Orlando. His welding knowledge prompted him to experiment with creating his first metal sculpture over 20 years ago. What began as a hobby has turned into much more, and he has methodically developed his stainless steel sculptures depicting sea life. All sculptures begin with a hand drawn design before the metal is cut to the proper specifications of each fish. He then grinds each piece to add depth and dimension into each piece. The array of colors is achieved by controlled heat, a process known as fire color. The colors are not painted on, but rather drawn out of the metal by different temperatures of heat. The colors are then embedded into the steel permanently. Each piece is original, and no two pieces are alike.
Armando not only has a passion for, but takes pride in each piece of art he creates. It is clear he has an innate, intuitive gift for art, and is willing and able to create anything the mind can imagine.
