Is this what you meant?

Yes, can that be added to the picture of the car on its wheels. That would be the colors we are looking for on this car. Thank You, I know it would take peps like me hours and hours on a computer to do just one of these designs.

Ok, I will have to try and get to it tonight.

Nice Car!

nice build,

Car looks good, and good work on the PS guys.

dbart thanks for all your help with this, You've done an awesome job giving us some ideals. I hope it will turn out this nice when we are done.

do you still have the dragon??

i always loved the Get Bent cars.. Is he still in business?

Looks good. Is it still Dr. Vans car? If so, he must be done racing it to doll it up like that.
I seen it over Dales a while back. Stout car for sure.

That's because he's only seen the back. I shouldn't talk too much smack. I'm in the market for
a little 2 seat V6, eco or subi with a 2d, so I'll be the slow kid on the block.

X2!

But dbart,

I think I've told you this before, you've got the skills to pay the bills brother!!!

What a creative talent you and some of the others have...

Have you ever thought about doing renderings for some of the Off Shore Boat Guys?

If not, you should, they'll pay for your services!

Didn't mean to hi-jack the thread, just felt the need to chime in, carry on...

Definately the Mean Blue Dragon is part of the Family. Believe it or not, a Get Bent Class 1 Car won the Baja 1000 this past year.

We are Partners now, and yes after the accident we decided to Sand Car only. There is alot of chrome to go on the motor so no more desert. We made a trip down to Buttercup New Year weekend we seen the Scream Machine in camp. Bart and I talked to the New owners really nice couple, but I had to go throw-up when I found out what the Scream Machine sold for

Im happy with the sale I got asking price. The new owner Brian is a great guy. I talk to him often, he calls me all the time with questions about the car. I'm sure I will camp with him a time or 2 next season. He owns the building that Dune Buggy.com leases. Actually I only gave back what I made off my GB car when the economy was well. Sold the car, built a detached garage, landscaped and paid off my daily drivers, and still had stash to bury... Here's the garage. It took me 4 months to build my neighbor was a big help with the framing, not a 1 guy job. The rest I did by myself. I did sub out concrete & stucco.

HEY I just picked up a 2 seat Manx today! Dale built it as far as it is, it has never been finished, All new including new Richie 002 &
1915 VW motor (Cheap!!). I'm Going to finish all fab and stick an ecotec in it. Here's a few quick pix. The body is off the car, so I'll need to fit it.
Here's your dog (moe) who is now 145lbs!! The guy will NOT stop growing or eating for that matter..I'll email you more photos.

PM your address Deb and I will ride the scooter up to see you and your (Wendy's) new house. It's been over a year since we've talked.

Wow......

Shocked.. I figured I'd kill him with kindness, rather than telling him to go screw. Notice the only thing he had to say about the car is that he believes that I lost my asss on it. Typical Jeff assumption. I was busy this weekend. Pulled the car apart and cut he pan out. I have an ecotec in my sights. It's too light for anything bigger. Here's some photos.

.

From my phone. Not sure how to make them larger. Next week I'll use my camera.

MBD. Glad t see the dragon is still out there have not seen it for a long time. GB cars Rock. Still runnin' the hell out of mine and it still performs flawlessly.

Get Bent builds a pretty good car. I have owned one. Not only have I owned one, I've owned 4 rails, from mild to wild! Get Bent"s matto "when in doubt X it out!" They're Rear shock mounts are funckey and unplanned, most bend. The front end scrubs more than most any rail I've been in and will compare it to 50 rails on the conservative side. Not only do the front ends scrub like crazy without a sway bar they corner like dirt, like MBD's car even being a mid-engine. The featured car on this thread I've duned with and It's an absolute great car. Pretty'd up it will be a great sand car but it was concieved as a desert racing car which means it is heavy. Like Washington said, "pick your poison."

Since you are too "busy" to pick up a computer, I'll take over the thread..............Here's a few pix from me $0.50 build!!


A tool chest/tool box. The bottom and 1st drawer was rusted out. Cut and fab'd to work smoothly...$15.oo Metal storage cabinet $20.oo
just sprayed with auto primer yesterday. Neighbor asked what color I planned on painting it. I replied, whatever they have on the oops shelf
at the auto paint shop at the time I'm ready to paint... He said, you're a cheap bastard!!

I said " according to Jeff I took such a bath on my last car I should be throwing up over it!!!!!!!!!! Jeff I can name SEVERAL people that lost a greater % of their money than I did. If you have questions about the math, call me I will explain to you how it works, house roper! Man that pisses me off especially since we have known each other for such a long time, and you find it necessary to call this out on a public forum. Dude you should have called me.

Again typical Jeff!
