Default Dirt Missile rebuild begins

A buddy wants the “sauce” (AKA as S * * T) from the DBM..... Despite the fact it was already falling apart... and he was told “I wouldn’t spend the money to ship this junk”..... (not me saying that either).

Remember this car had all of about 30 laps on it —- and this “decoupled offset 3 link” crap is already falling apart.... Gee! Who’d a thunk it!?!?

All these pictures of messed up/jacked up/done wrong stuff makes me sick... a guy like me that would love nothing more that to have an opportunity to do it the right way for a good person and to see the level of "don't give a f*ck" by someone to a person in your situation Greg is heart breaking. These stories and proof of the scam artists that are out there make it harder for people to trust builders and rightfully so. It doesn't help those of us that just want to be good at what we do and honest in our work.

I am glad you are in good hands now! the good progess is exciting. I can't wait to see a video of you driving it!

Hey Greggo...why weren't some nice wheel tubs built like that before by the "Race God?" Nevermind.... Maybe Hoosiers weren't that sticky way back when.

Thanks for the kind words Brycen!

I’m just pleased that “mister I built 200 race cars” self imploded.... While I’m 100% positive he will go to his grave telling anyone that will listen, and even if they don’t want to listen - he’ll keep talking — that “I” destroyed his business....

Just like the lie that the “economy” and “sponsors” killed his “I ran 9 race teams” business — when — in fact — it was out right FRAUD and the subsequent lawsuit that aided his demise...

He was given a golden opportunity and couldn’t rise to the occasion.

Greg,

So sorry to hear about this nightmare. It is great to hear the car is in good hands and will be on track soon.
