not a bad idea as an ebay gig for someone in a body shop.. buy crashed tanks... fix em up somewhat and make sure it has a nice dent. Or make custom orders.... that would be coo

It's way to cheap to buy a damaged tank on ebay and do it yourself. If you suck at life, I'm sure you know someone that will dent it in for you.

They;re always a market. Just a matter of Profit potential and MOney for Marketing,.. Come on People make a living off of selling the most obsure crap in the world. I am a man of many hobbies. Crap just gets marked up for the smaller market. You can get a decent crashed tank from 25-50$ shipped off of ebay. If you think of it this way, after fees and what not 100$ pre-dented tanks only leave 20% at most after fees. Although that is pretty much standard retail profit. You need volume to make it worthwhile. Honestly, If someone like Icon or a large company backs them to make a higher volume of sale (bigger potential market) it might work. So people with connects get your heads together it;s not a bad idea.

a scrape bar is a little different. the manufacturing quality of that has to be real good. strong, even welds and the bar has to be built evenly as well otherwise your going over sideways. that requires a lil bit of fabrication know how.
a dented tank, you sit in it (ideally). smash the fukking thing. Just not too much or you'll wind up with gas-azz like vertical joe. Hasnt anyone seen the SoCal Stunts videos. Simply get on your seat, step onto the tank, steady yourself, and jump. move your feet around so you get a good flat surface. then ride. its not rocket science here people.
and 20-50 for a tank??? mine was 120, but only b/c the place was closing and the tank had a scuff on the side. them shyts are expensive.
