In a separate post about the Big Rig Race, Warren was raving about a Dump Truck... Got me to thinking... Here's the Team Bubba (in progress - still needs paint, wheels, and some finishing work on the trailer) version: With the right paint scheme, perhaps we'll have a new favorite for him Haven't settled on a name yet (any thoughts???), considering "Double Flip" or "Ambidextrous" given that the hood and the dump box both flip open. p.s. The tractor is plastic and weighs just under 6 oz. Saw the tractor in a Farm and Fleet store, and the rest of the idea just fell into place...

I plan to have the Dump Truck and others at Lima. Of course, if I start another one, I might run out of time LOL

All I can say Bubba is "Wow." My wife is looking for a 12 step program (for Pinewood Derby addicts) for me. If she finds one I'll let you know. Personally, I find you to be a source of both great inspiration and comfort. The inspiration comes from your incredible creations. The comfort comes in knowing that as obsessed with this sport as I am, it could be worse. Keep at it. ProQuest/Steve H.

Uff-dah!
I promise I will take the tape off my rig and build one that is not quite so embarrassing. . . and is there a waiting period for the PWD Addition Support Society?

Looks Great Bubba! Can't wait to see the finished product! I'll save the pictures of the "fully loaded" rig for later, but here's a partial for you: We added some fenders and fuel tanks since the previous pictures. And some paint, too Still haven't figured out a name yet. Better get one before Lima, I suppose... Any suggestions?
