Slick 60's

I seen the post wondering where all the MSN members went and I got to wondering how long many of the current members have been here and what site were we on when you signed up. I have been here since we started, I think I was the 4th or 5th orig Member............Kid

I joined the MSN site in 2002, 3 months after I bought my Slick. I remember emailing Uncle Skip outside of the site and got to know him right before joining up.

i can't remember, but it was over at the msn site. maybe a couple of years. mostly lurking.

edit: since 10/22/04.
most of this time was searching for a 64 shortie.

3-4 yrs ago on msn, was a member of the mac site 1st.

I joined early, about '98 0r '99, at Icemans' invitation.

Joined on the MSN site, sometime in 2005.

Joined over at MSN in 98 or 02 or somthing. Glad we're not there anymore.

Joined before I had a truck.
This thread should have a poll on it.

Aug or Sept of 03.
It was @ the MSN Site after lurking around for months unable to sign up or Log On with all of MSN's foolish entrapments. . . .

This site is far superior I tell you, FAR SUPERIOR

FBp

think it was in early 04 on the old msn site, still remember the warm welcome I received from all the regulars. Thanks guys, the truck is almost done!

Whoever said kid should add a poll to this thread was right..


I have been around since 11/11/2002. I found the MSN site, ironically thru THIS site, when Dane was operating it.
During the fall of 2002 I had just moved into a new house and was FINALLY in a state where i could take on a project truck, This, after the heartbreaking disappointment of losing my '40, 7 years earlier, because I simply could not afford it and kids at the same time.

I had surfed around a great deal for info on Merc trucks, and never really seriously considered a slick truck, I always remembered them as those odd-duck trucks that the box didn't match on. I was seriously looking for a short box bump side that either WAS a Merc, or I could make a Merc clone out of.

But Short box anything is in short supply here in farm country, (except stepsides with their goofy wood box) and I stumbled across my long box '64, a Merc. so I bought it. After lurKing for several months before getting a truck, both here and at FTE, I joined the MSN site of the Slicksters.

Glad I did. the MSN part of the other site sucked rotten eggs, but the people were great. In fact as we left there (a few months later than I had wished for) I remember posting to Sinc like 19 times to come over here, and MSN ate every post. what a pain that stupid thing was. Saying this is an improvement over that is like saying the Queen Mary 2 is a nice boat compared to a log raft.

well this is much longer than I intended.

I joined in 2000 at the invitation of "BORK" and Garbz, after the Supernationals,in Pigeon Forge. It has been great ,met alot of great people on here over the years.Wish I had known of the site before we built the Uni and the Pro St. Merle

Merle, I will never forget the time in Voice chat with Rita and Mercury girl when you said all women should be bare foot and pregnant, you were joking but they took you serious. .....Kid

Since the excite days.. still have one of Lances old slick shirts with the excite addy.

Back then it was Skip, Lance. Kid, Wyatt, Joey, John Wilkerson.....

I still remember Lance asking what is a UNI!


Garbz

I was invited here by 66fordtrucknut in sept. 06

I had no idea there were two previous sites before the MSN one. You guys have been at this a long time!
Man, it's gonna take me at least another year before I don't feel like a newbie any more.

I joined up on this site. I spotted the MSN site about this time last year, but that thing was such an antiquated confuzing mess, I didn't even bother with it. I was really happy when I tripped over this site..."yay, the Slick goup has moved out of the 19th century!"


Meanwhile, you guys were probably saying "great, who let this putz in here?"

August 2006. Much like JC I was looking for a bumpside. Found my Slick on the net and remembered how much I liked them back in the 70s. Not many around here so I bought it as I like to be different. The guy I bought it from told me about FTE, and luckily I stumbled onto a link to here before it got deleted.

2002 or 3 dont remember but I've enjoyed it since.
