Did you drive over a car at 2:13????
The D-rex seems like fighting to get over it. Must have been big. A suburban maybe?

No cars ... its just the drive-over fenders on the trailer, while the D Rex is already on an incline on the trailer ramps.
D Rex has not been "crawling" as well as it used to, since Don Steger took it for high speed "Big Foot Adventure Rides"
out in front of his shop last year, while I was out in Hollywood for the TV Pilot filming. My flight was delayed several times
and I finally got out there on a much later flight. I guess the guys at DMC CA were getting bored waiting for me, so they
did a few fast passes in front of the shop, not realizing that the 205 transfer case was mechanically set for Low Gear only.
I did not find out about any of the "Big Foot" joy-rides until after the filming was done and I saw the D Rex joy-ride videos.
(and I was wondering why a 4-link bracket weld broke on the first day of filming and the transmission seemed sluggish)
Live and Learn.

No ... not yet. Both the 205 transfer case and Turbo 350 transmission are leaking, when they did not before the trip out West.
Not sure if this is just blown seals or something else (rebuilds of both?). 4-link bracket is still held up with bailing wire, for now.
Not sure if Don still has the videos posted on his FaceBook page or not, but I do have digital copies burned to CD for reference.

Oh boy! What the hell were they thinking?
Sounds like those two idiot Garage fellas from the "ferry Bueler's day off" movie that took the Ferrari out for a spin. (good timing to remember that now that it is on sale)
I hope you get some serious compensation and damage cash.
PS
Never got to meet all you interesting MW fellas when I used to live in Chicagoland (almost 10 years back now). Will be looking forward to do so in my next visit as I really miss it.

This is a 78 Chevy K5 Blazer I found in Orlando Rich. Amazing how this project turned out!

I had part of my collection displayed outside this weekend, for a few photo shoots during a few interviews,
so I thought it was a good time to take a few photos as well, to update a few of the threads on DMCTalk.
The D Rex and my DeLorean Time Machine Replica Prop Car were at the Southwest corner of the display.

Thanks Josh. I like to keep track of where and how (as well as the stories why) the D Rex is being sold.
Attaching the latest previous ad below of when D Rex was being sold in Dallas last Fall 2013, around Halloween.

Almost all the details about the D Rex are available online, so you think they could at least copy/paste correctly.

While searching through my archives for some other photos, I came across
a few more photos of the D Rex wearing it's huge 48" Goodyear Terra tires.

Photos were taken in the Spring of 2003 in front of Godmudders Truck shop.
Since I used them very little, I sold the custom wheels and tires back in 04.
Now that I have the storage space, I wish I had kept these wheels and tires.
