Here we go, this would be good as a dragster as well with perhaps 160 for the front wheels, 360 the back ones and a slightly narrower look.
I enjoyed making this  :)  Thanks Kenny, it gives me a break from doing the instructions.

Hi all. Well finally got some time to post instructions. I made this model as simple as possible, using only a few simple twists.

Ok in the pic below are the balloons that i used for the model. I used 160s but this can be made in 2and even 360.

Start by inflating a red 160 and leave the amount in the pic below. Then twist a 1and 1/2" petal twist followed by a 1/2" pinchtwist. Then leave a long bubble 6-8" then twist a 1" petal twist and a 1/4" pinchtwist, Then leave a 3-4" bubble and repeat for the other side. But on the other side which will be the back of the dune buggy leave a 4-5"long bubble .[attachment=2:3gesbn2r][/attachment]balloons needed.JPG[/attachment:3gesbn2r][attachment=1:3gesbn2r][/attachment]DSCF0513.JPG[/attachment:3gesbn2r][attachment=0:3gesbn2r][/attachment]DSCF0514.JPG[/attachment:3gesbn2r]

Ok now you have the the top part of your Dune Buggy. We are going to make the bottom part now. Start by inflating the second red 160 red balloon to the amount in the pic below. Then attach to the pinchtwist of the the top section of the dune buggy that you have just made. The make a small bubble about 1/4" in size followed by another bubble the same size followed by a 1/4" pinchtwist followed by a 1/2" petal twist.  (Your just repeating what you did in the top section only smaller). After the petal twist make a long bubble again but leave it about 1" smaller than the top long bubble. Repeat this for all 4 sides and you should have your outside frame of your Buggy.[attachment=2:1h9795f4][/attachment]DSCF0520.JPG[/attachment:1h9795f4][attachment=1:1h9795f4][/attachment]DSCF0521.JPG[/attachment:1h9795f4][attachment=0:1h9795f4][/attachment]DSCF0522.JPG[/attachment:1h9795f4]

Now you will need to inflate the blue 160 and leave about 4"-5" at the end. Then attach the blue 160 in between the 2 1/4" bubbles on the frame continue to attach it to all four corners of your frame, then cut off the excess as you will need this for the engine later. Now hold the frame with two hands and twist the frame to create a connection just off centre. This will tighten the frame up and make it look more solid.[attachment=2:26cuzo5u][/attachment]DSCF0528.JPG[/attachment:26cuzo5u][attachment=1:26cuzo5u][/attachment]DSCF0529.JPG[/attachment:26cuzo5u][attachment=0:26cuzo5u][/attachment]DSCF0530.JPG[/attachment:26cuzo5u]

Now for the wheels.
Inflate the black 160 to the amount shown in the picture below. Then attach it to the 1/4" pinchtwist leave a 1" bubble and another 1" bubble then attach the end of the bubble back to the pinchtwist forming 2 1" bubbles side by side then loop a bubble around these bubbles to form a round wheel shape. Repeat this with the front but reduce the sizes accordingly. Making sure that the front wheels are smaller than the back ones.[attachment=2:5he9lfpb][/attachment]DSCF0533.JPG[/attachment:5he9lfpb][attachment=1:5he9lfpb][/attachment]DSCF0534.JPG[/attachment:5he9lfpb][attachment=0:5he9lfpb][/attachment]DSCF0535.JPG[/attachment:5he9lfpb]
