Hey unforgiven
You did not tell us if the truck is going to show in 07 or 08 or is that a secret too.

You could get free beer if you come down and help judge a Texas Chili Cook-off.

I thought this thread needed a laugh.

Hey guys,
This is the first time I have posted on the new site but I thought I had to chime in on this one.This club was started and intended for anybody with a passion with the 61-66 ford trucks.It was never intended for bragging or showing off to be better than somebody else.I dont really care who you are or what you did just as long as you have a cool truck and like to SHARE it with people and not brag or rub it in somebodys face that your truck is better than his.Slick stock gatherings was to SHARE and rejoin with old freinds and have a few laughs never to be judged by his/her truck.I just hope this is not the beginning of the end for this care free and fun club.If you got to start competeing with each other I am out.I think everyone should check their competiveness at the door and just relax and be cool.There is one thing that was said that I agree with and that is keep'em ALL FORD no chevy crap that is just WRONG!!!Well I said my piece and my blood pressure is back to normal so I will talk to you guys later.

You have alienated one of the builders of the "competition" which goes against what you said here:

Anyone who wants to make this "Slick-build-off" a part of Slickstock has obviously not been to a Slickstock and does not grasp the concept of a Slickstock. Thanks, Lyman.

As we've all seen, testosterone runs high and often we tend to disagree. On the one side, I like Slickstock the way it is, but some of our members like competition. If any of you have taken a close look at the vehicles I drive to Slickstock, I'm in for the rat ride competition. In fact, we should have a competition for that , maybe. I would have lost to the hammering six at the last Slickstock, I'm thinking. Personally, I think that if it gets more people to Slickstock, I'm in. Everyone knows how I feel about brand X motors in our trucks, but would welcome Elpolaco and his chevy powered truck. I must say, that it takes balls to go against a tough crowd, and if we had a voting interest, he might have tough sleding. If it gets more people to Slickstock, especially those southern holdouts, I'm all for it. I don't want our meet to turn into a bitter contest, but I think a buildoff sounds interesting. Might get a writeup in some mags, and generate more people coming to the Slickstock 08. I don't want to start a whole rash of judging with all the BS that intails. Keep it simple, and this might work out well. I like others, don't want to see a big judging thing going on, where people get their feelings hurt, nor where we have to come up with a bunch of trophies and other BS.

My two cents worth,
Rich

Maybe the concept changed and nobody told me! LOL Thanks, Lyman.

i think some may have gotten the wrong idea.i was viewing it as what can you design and build between now and slickstock that is not the usual looking slick.
my running trucks are not perfect, they are drivers.
after putting a couple stock slicks together i think i would like to do something different.since i spend a lot of time here seems i am always looking at the trucks and thinking about doing things. ever seen a 61 f500 4x4 uni ? how about a 65 or 66 twin i-beam uni with correct 65-66 cab floor? everyone obviously does not have time or space for this kind of activity but for those who wish, as long as it remains civil i see no problem.there is no pressure by this to compete.el polackos truck is done already. he did a great job configuring everything the way he wanted.
still regret missing slickstock.

Ok well to answer some of the questions here,ST.Marys is in Ontario.Second the truck I am building will most likely show in 08 unless things change and it can make it to Detroit for 07,but that looks like a long shot right now and I will not rush it.
I did not want to piss anybody off and upset your precious club,as I stated in a previous post I am not here to put anybody down or look down upon anybodys truck or the way they build their truck.I have talked to Steve and everything is cool,we both understand each other and this is not a "I'm better than you"contest.This was to be a friendly build off and maybe add some excitement to the club and maybe to slickstock.
If the concept of a build off,and the concept of building a truck for the Ridler has pissed anybody off,I would say I'm sorry but that would be a lie,I have appoligized for enough here in the past posts and will not do that anymore.

I don't see competition as a bad thing at all. As long as everyone that competes is adult enough to not get all butt hurt if they don't do as well as they hoped, or even worse be a winner that shows no class.

One thing about it a bit of competition brings out a persons personality, good or bad.

mikecarson · Post by **mikecarson** » September 3, 2006, 2:16 pm

My opinion? As long as SlickStock doesn't turn into a 'car show', I don't see a problem with a little competition between friends. No worse than "Show and Shine" before a cruise. Seeing how someone did something always gets my brains working.

My trucks are being built as drivers. If I was going to enter a "competition", it would be longest drive, which I would lose anyway. Houston is 200 miles south of here...lol

No one seems to be getting the drift here. Slickstock is for fun and B/Sing. If you start competeing then it turns into just another show. The fun is gone for those that can't compete. There is nothing wrong with competition. It brings out the best trucks and good ideas. I loved looking at the really cool trucks that were at the last two Slickstocks. But nobody got pissed because they didn't place for a trophey. I'm sure you two fellas' can build great trucks and you should be proud of what you do. Just keep in mind that everyone here is proud of what they have achieved. But when it comes to mine is better than yours, it kinda puts a damper on things. I say build it and bring it but don't ask to be put on a pedastool because it is better than the other guys. Oh, and yes this club is prescious to us. It has brought a lot of people together and saved a lot of slicks from the bone yard.
I've seen Elpolackos truck and it is nice. He had to put a lot of hard work and long hours into it and should be proud. Let's see what else we as a club can build and keep it family.
I'll stop here and hope everyone understands what I'm trying to get at.
The next Slickstock will be bigger and better. Let's make it one of the biggest yet. Hope to see 100 trucks there
