Hey unforgiven two things
1) Wish you the best of luck in pursuit of the Holy Grale(riddler/great eight)

2) we should plan to hook up and travel together when we go to SS 08.
I have to drive my slick past your place to get there anyway

We could drink beer with the boys and get to know them in person. We could use my truck to lean on, no lawn chairs required

, use tailgate in a pinch. besides no chairs means more room for beer

. Should we bring real beer

or drink American beer

.
Guess we should check with JC

Just a thought one new guy to another.

Um hey Larry don't sweat it bro.
That was aimed at ME not you , he was being facetious.
And then I tell him Pro street is dead and all hell breaks loose. Its just this thing we do. Lyman and Comet line up on one side of the dance floor and The Iceman and the other hardcore Ford guys line up on the other, and we all do this do-se-do about Fords and Chebbys and how it does and doesn't matter.
Then next month we do it again.

So, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. It's all an illusion. We really ARE all friends.

Me???Stir it up... Would not have it any other way. It's ingrained in the genome..

Larry the burn baby burn was in direct relation to chevy haters(purists) and as brother John says i was being facetious....I like your truck just the way it is nice runner and purrs along. Even the paint is perfect.

Plus this makes 65 replies so it must hit a nerve somewhere. Thought and disagrrement is what fosters discovery and change. Without it we all would be driving french made cars.....

Hey Castruck,sounds like a good plan for SS08,and we will take real beer

haha,and thanks for the words or luck on my build.
As Garbz said in his post this topic must have hit a nerve somewhere.To reply to a comment made in an earlier post about this club not being about the trucks,
Reality check!!!
If it wasn't for the trucks you wouldn't have a club!!!
So yeah this club is about the trucks,I understand it is about the friends,the knowledge of these trucks,and just the plan simple fact that we all have one thing in common,THESE TRUCKS!!!
Anyways thats all I got to say,probably said to much already and will offend someone else,oh well.

I don't think you are offending anyone, I think they are just trying to explain to you what SlickStock is like. If you are looking for a car show you will have come to the wrong place.
The CLUB is about trucks.
SlickStock is about the people.

Now where is that facetious emoticon.............?

Max, I will be glad to see more Texans at Slickstock. Now, if we can just get one more Texan to drive his 428, or tow it, to Slickstock, we will have brought things full circle. Not to mention any names, mind you, but would be nice to see a tri powered 428 there.

Awards, hmm, no trophies hmmm, How about a totally rusted rim with a maypop tire hand lettered Slickstock 08 ratride, for the rat ride. I think I have several of those, and could be persuaded to donate one ( better than paying two dollars to have it disposed of). Might even donate something for the buildoff. Would let 08 sponsors decide on this issue. Contact me if you want to accept.

Well I guess I can reply now. I don't think SlickStock is a place for Competition. If you guys want to do a build off and bring them to SlickStock it is ok but don't be expecting any awards to be handed out. SlickStock has always been and will continue to be more about Friends getting together than it is a Truck Show. We hope to see both Trucks there and the Owners having a good time. The last Two SlickStocks have had some AWSOME trucks there and I am sure there will be more at 08. We are looking foreward to seeing everyone in the KC area in 08........Kid

Never been to SlickStock, but how about incorporating an autocross competition? No prizes, just for fun. Who wouldn't like to see a solid-axle, drum brake-equipped Slick run through the cones?

(Of course I imagine there would be plenty of Mustang II, Dakota, Volare, Aerostar, and Crown Vic setups too.)

Something like that might be interesting. Still somewhat of a competition, but nothing like the subjective nature of judged car shows...

Johnny Canuck · Post by **Johnny Canuck** » September 7, 2006, 9:58 am

The main competition at the last one was who could keep their six running longest by changing the most fuel filters.

The Big M · Post by **The Big M** » September 7, 2006, 11:40 am

Okay then, how about this? Some sort of relay or obstacle course. With a start like lawnmower racing, where the driver has to run to their truck and start it up first. Only each driver would have to replace the fuel filter first.

Then the competitors would drive down a straightaway, jump out of the truck, grab a case of beer and put it in the bed.

The case of beer MUST survive the autocross portion or an instant disqualification will result...

I see everybody says don't come to SS08 if you are expecting awards.
I want someone to tell me where in hell I said I wanted a damn award when I come with my truck.
This shit is worse than 2 kids on a playground.
IF ALL I WANTED WAS AN AWARD I WOULD GO BUY SOME DAMN AWARDS,get the point guys I don't give a shit about awards,all I wanted to do was bring a kick ass slick to SS08 and see some more kick ass trucks.
Sorry i opened this can of worms!!

Mellow out dude.
You're taking this way too seriously!

Alright guys I think we are making this guy mad.I dont think it is fair we jumped all over this guy like this.We are doing exatly what we are against.Picking on a man and his truck.If he wants to build a killer truck and bring it to SS08 that would be awesome.Just as long as he knows what Slick Stock is all about.He may have knowledge or connections that could benefit the whole club or maybe he will need help on something that he is doing someday.I hope that everyone can put this behind them and move on to something more constructive.I myself do appologize for anything I may have said that upset him.I am saying all of this because I put myself in his shoes and thought about it.I know one thing, if I just joined a club and they jumped me like that I would tell them where to stick their club.I am glad he decided to stick it out through the slick 60s hazzing

Now that I said that I feel better.

Paul

dont say build off half of this crowds underware gets all bunched up if you do.

( just kidding ) I plan on going to ss 08 if possible but if i do my back will not let me drive a bouncey 4x4 slick. i would love to go and see all the members there with there slicks. maybe the north carolina members can host ss 10. I could drive it to that one.

I allready have plans for this saturday but we could meet in rocky mount at the waffel house on hwy 301 and hwy 64 exit 468 for lunch some time and drive the 4x4's if you would like to. I think that would be about half way. It takes me about an hour to get there.

email or pm me and we can make plans.

unforgiven66 did not throw the first stone. he was giving his views to answer a question that another member ask. his post was misunderstood and things got a little out of hand. all parties apoligised and everything is kool now. it didnt sound like he or anyone else was going to leave the group. im sure in the future some wise crack or jokes will be made about it. Heck i just made a joke about it in the above post and so did paul.
