If no one steps up I know a guy worth hiring.

We have a writer/publications guy at work.

Just a thought. I can draw but I couldn't write a ransom note

This member is pretty good with words if he will do it.

I've done several articles for the Bronco Driver magazine. I've actually got an article in the current mag that sums up all of our Meet and Greets and wheelin' trips. The guy that does the Bronco mag, I've met and know...he's got an idea started for a Ford truck mag with trucks older than '79 and has already talked to me about writing articles for it.

Here's some scanned images from the article I've got now about our events.

I love to write. But I don't know how well I would do writing an article for an event I didn't attend. If you absolutely can not find somebody, hit me up and we'll see what we can work out.

Effie I love that 4 door Bronco. Some day I would love to build a 4 door 78/79.

Kid.
I've been published a couple of times in magazines (they actually paid me American money) and I consider myself a pretty good communicator. I'd be happy to step up for free, well, maybe not for free, but a couple of beers at Slick Stock would probably keep me from complaining to loudly.
If I can help, let me know.

I have an idea here and I believe I know what this is for. Anyone who wants to submit what they are comfortable writing about. Maybe it could be a copulation of a few peoples views. I don't intend to over look anyone but here a few that immediately come to mind.
Skip, you have been a member for a long time - that would be one point of view.
Effie, you a little newer here - I am sure you have a view to share.
I was at SS, I could type up something first person maybe.
Jacob & Doc Pepper certainly do have a way with words.
Phil, you have some killer expressions (Steers like a cement truck on a beach, LOL).
Everybody has some thing to add.

I hope I didn't just make Darrell mad at me.

I can't write worth reading. But I can draw flies pretty good after a week or so without a shower.
I have read some stuff that Skip has put up here and like the way he puts it out there.
My idea is to also have members write small articles about SS and send them to Skip or who ever gets the duty and let him stick them in there with his writing skills.
Do you want pics to go with the article? There's another idea.
But then we may not have enough time for someone to go through all submissions.
How about we have the articles sent to the moderators and have them screened and then sent to the writer.
Do a 300 word or less thingy. With out this sentence, this was 136 words, I think I counted right

Just my thought folks. Great idea Kid.

Copy that Tom. One day for me too

Darrell, I don't mind writing stuff. You all remember the poem at Slickstock

Give me some guidelines and I would be happy to scribble something.

Well guys the deal is I contacted John Gilbert and asked about the pics Garbz took. For some reason they never made it to John and he said if we got him some good pics he would print them and i thought if we added a short article from one of us about the group and our Event SlickStock . I have a CD on the way to me from Fanatic and am hoping to put a good short artice in when I mail the pics to him. I have a couple of ideas but lets see what you guys come up with. I was thinking 2 short articles ,one about the Group and one about SlickStock. What do you think............................Kid

Fanatic · Post by **Fanatic** » April 4, 2009, 9:12 am

I compiled a CD, well actually a DVD (tooooo many pics to fit on a CD), of ALL of the pics that you guys sent me from SS08. Greg and Kid have a copy. So, even some of you that can't write may end up with some of your photos in the article.
As has been spoken quite often "We love Pics"
With all of the talents that are in this club.. John Gilbert might get more than he is expecting.

That woman and her husband combined have about 8 or 9 of those 4 doors. She's obsessed with them. She actually owns and runs the fourdoorbronco.com website. She took that white Bronco down trails at Tellico. The joke all weekend was wheelin the School Bus. Some guys in Jeeps were like, what IS that thing? There's a couple guys on the site with 78/79 home built Four Doors that are really cool.

Well I have been thinking a little more on this subject. How about if we get several of them and send them on to John and let him decide what he wants to use. Get some from long time members, short time members and some SlickStock attendees and since John is a member here he can use what he thinks would be best to describe us. What you guys think.........................Kid

I'm for it.

That sounds great Darrell!

john gilbert · Post by **john gilbert** » April 4, 2009, 10:44 pm

Hey you guys, this is an easy one. Just give me rough notes and I'm good to go. We only need 500-550 words, and captions for the photos. How many pages it gets depends on how many photos I can run. Also it won't be a lot but I can pay for this. I need one person to fill out a W9 form. The money can go for the next Slickstock, or whatever you guys want.

Let me know, we'll get it in the magazine yet.

Thanks,

Can't beat that! JG does this for a living on a national scale and in our field of interest to boot.

Can't write or draw, But I can take what you guys write and draw and I can print 100,000 copies of it to send to all of your friends.

Post by **Kid** » April 6, 2009, 5:39 pm

Had a nice talk with John today and he has asked if I can collect whatever you guys want to write and I will send it all to him at once. He said it needs to be kept to 500 to 600 words total. Anyone who wants to write something can and John will edit and use what he thinks will work the best. He asked if it can be put into a work type program so it will be easier for him to use what he wants. He will use as many pics as he can and will use whatever amount of pages he can fill. He will pick the pics he wants to use and send them to me for captions and then we will be good to go. Thanks for all your input guys and gals.................Kid
