Well, I went and done it tonight...........

I SOLD the 'ol Banana (rolling chassis) tonight. This will give me time to ponder things, and see what lies ahead. I'll be posting some more stuff in the Auction Block in the next day or so. I'll be around. Gotta take my lashin' ya know... It was a blast, and rest assured, it still will be for the new owner.









Doug...

Are you going to a new/faster drag car, or a street car, or getting out?

Not sure yet what I'll be doin'. Time will tell, I'm in no hurry.









Doug...

I'd hate to see a BBC in it

It's gettin' another BBF/C6 combo...... It's aaaaall good.






Doug...

That ole truck is kind of a signature for you Doug,I will miss it Good Luck Brother

Doug ,I hate to see you sell your truck. I know you had a lot of hard work ,and fun in it. Good luck to you in the future..Well Rick ,I guess you'll be the new "Banana Boat" Captain now

That sucks to hear Doug..... You need to build a faster one !!!!

Dam, Doug, I hate to hear that........

Hopefully you'll find another ride soon, but there's no rush.......... Yellow will still be well represented here......



Best of luck to ya,

Greg

WOW! I loved that truck man. I bragged about it all the time. It was a true Chevy azz buster

I'm gonna have to go out and do some new recruiting for the "Truck Mafia". I'm getting to be one of the few left around here with a truck. All I know is that any time you can make a good sale on race stuff you do it and move on to another project. to you bud.

x2 hate to see it go but good luck on your next project, Schmitty, i got a truck ( not finished) can i be in the Truck Mafia hope to finish it up soon

I ain't turning anyone away from membership in the "Truck Mafia" Erv. If you got a truck you're in, running or not. Oh yeah, Doug does still have a Ford TRUCK, the tow/hunting rig has a blue oval on the front so he's still in.

Thanks Schmitty, im in , i know my ole 63 wont ever be the truck that Doug`s was (is) but it will be fast enough fer a hillbilly

ya need to fnd like a mid 60's comet or something like that ,

Sorry to hear Doug. Hopefully on to bigger and better and WILDER rides!!! You know how to do it now, just repeat!!

Good luck, I am looking forward to seeing what you dream up

Schmitty add me in to your list the ranger finally got to make a pass so it offically a drag truck not as fast as Doug's was but maybe in time it will be.

I didn't know there was a club, could I join? What does being a member of this club entail?

So sorry to hear Doug, I know you loved that truck but if it had to be done it had to be done. I hope things get better for you soon.

Thanks guys. I didn't have to sell it, I just did. There's a few ideas out there I may look into, just not real soon. And oh yeah Greg, I still have a gallon of the yellow left, so we know what color it'll be. Whenever it gets to the point of doing something else.








Doug...

NOT MORE YELLOW!

Doug I'll miss the old wood hauler.
I wanted to do a bbf ranger. The plan was to get some seat time in my f100 while building a ranger.
Watching you make changes and improvements over the years to your f100 has kinda changed my mind about doing the ranger deal. For now anyway .

Doug ain't no quitter, his life is a true example of that. He'll be racing next year. I'll drive my azz up to MT and help him get whatever is next built if I have to.

DAMN! Doug! i loved following your build progress.....is the new owner a member here? or will he/she be a member?

Yes, user name is reeseracing23 and he lives in Montana. It went to a good home.

Guy's,I think I have it figured out. Doug gets bored when he doesn't have anything to work on.I think he needs to open up his own shop so when he finishes up a project ,he can jump right on another. Can you imagine a shop with Dan and Doug working together. They get shit done quick
