The Slide Car from Bessdang Gizmos is quite the handy little contraption.

I think it was $30. You can contact Dale at (615) 618 0776 to confirm pricing and availability. That number is also posted on his public FaceBook page at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bessdang ... 5477920812.

Great product. Pretty much indestructible. I've got one for each of my pedal steel guitars. Dale custom builds them to fit your guitar.

At the end of the gig simply stretch the elastic band back around the whole gizmo, slip it up and off the legs of the guitar, and toss it in your gig bag or pac-a-seat. I keep both of mine loaded with pics, bar, and tuning wrench.

Either I'm right, or there is a sinister conspiracy to conceal the fact that I'm right.

I have a hobby metal bender, and built my own. It's painted with rubberized paint, and has the fuzzy side of Velcro in the bottom. I like it!
For the material and time that Dale has in it, it's well worth his price.

Thank you very much, Jeff.

I just got 'wind' of this posting, via a pal of mine.
It's really kind of you to post a your opinion of my product, here. (Slyde-Car)
I'm gratified to know you, both, as a friend, foremost,..and a customer, secondarily.

Your pal, DH

I have one of Dale's Slyde Cars and a chart holder. They are a great idea and a well made product.
