I was going to say “Remove Hood” .. but there is the front griller and other bits and pieces so I suppose calling all that a Superstructure is more apt. This exposes the radiator and engine, frame and other bits and pieces.
Superstructure Removed
Ok. With all of that done we have something that looks much like the Caterpillar 45 Tractor. I’m calling this the Mimesis 40.
Mimesis
1. FORMAL•TECHNICAL
representation or imitation of the real world in art and literature.
“Barth has always detached his use of plot from mimesis”
2. ZOOLOGY
another term for mimicry.
Frame and Engine
