Build-Off?!

Max · Post by **Max** » December 5, 2006, 11:35 pm

Are we still having a Slick build-off for SlickStock 08? What ever came out of that big brew-ha awhile back? If my math served me correctly, I think that past thread took about 40 or so tangents from the original subject so I can't quite remember.

I've been watching too much American Hot Rod lately and just want to stir the pot up a bit.

I kinda threw my Slick in the ring, work has taken a vacation while I find a new job due to my recent layoff. I have made some final decisions on how it's gonna be done though. Maybe I'll be back to work on the cab this weekend though.

Well I will be an oficial competitor, but I doubt I will be done by then.

BUT...since it is only 3 hours from here I plan to bring what I have.

I hope to have the Frame and engine done and the Cab in primmer (mock-up stage and all patchwork done.)

I hope to let my 460 play a tune for all to hear.

Hey Max.
Instead of watching so much television and stirring the pot, you could spend some hours working on, gasp, Casper.
I'm not making this up.... Max actually did "almost finish" welding in the new floors; Its been, what, two years? LMAO.
But he still hasn't finished taking the axles out of Casper so he can put in the new rear end. I guess thats o.k., he only started that project two weeks ago.
He might be jet propelled, but he's just not a rush things kind of guy.

Meanwhile, up in the great frozen North..........
U@ss

I'll have you know that I shall be posting some pics of my progress... soon in my album, thank you very much. Something I can say I haven't done in awhile.

I have to also replace my drivers side lower pillar. That and the pass. rear cab corner and that's it. Then off to the sandblaster.

I'll have the rear axle put back together this weekend. Giddyup!

From what I recall

. fordmanlcrackel is correct Idea got squashed as SS is not about competion

. But a bunch of friends with a common interest getting together and drinking beer while leaning on slicks

I think we lost the guy building a Ridler truck when the dust cleared

Ken, several guys were just drinking Iced tea.

sorry guys did not mean to offend anybody just trying to make the point that SS is not about competion but friends leaning on trucks and

each other. I have been known to drink Iced Tea myself from time to time.

And JC I did see a post from unforgiven a couple of weeks ago probably busy working on his slick

Ain't no thing but a chicken wing!

I just hope we have a crapload of members show up in Kansas City. As much time as I've been spending on mine, I think about '08 all the time.

Was I just rappin'? Sorry.

Glad we don't have to drink beer, ya'll might not like me much drunk. Been told I was a worse @ss than I am with Dr. Pepper!

jeepbut · Post by **jeepbut** » December 8, 2006, 9:19 pm

Same here Mike. I quit drinking 19 years ago today. Drinking is fine for those that can handle it, but when I drink I break out in handcuffs and stupid! Thanks, Lyman.

Happy B-day Lyman

Johnny Canuck · Post by **Johnny Canuck** » December 9, 2006, 12:07 pm

Fanatic, Lyman, Matt, Banjo, Mike K and even Garbz, as well as several other real characters, were on the Iced tea wagon, Ken.
I have to remember the manners of being in a foreign country when I attend these things, so I don't intentionally offend my hosts..

It ain't like watching a hockey game LOL. But, hey, you come to the next one and there will be at least 2 obnoxious Canadians (LOL that sounds funny, obnoxious English speaking Canadians, indeed, if there are any they all live in Quebec..) leaning over hoods and sipping wobbly pop and saying "eh" and "excuse me, sorry" freely!
Might even get Mark from Alberta to come and make it a threesome of "aboot" sayers...

... who knows there might be Texans there too...They named there State after a beer even! The lone-star state..

Garbz · Post by **Garbz** » December 9, 2006, 1:44 pm

HIJACK

JC give me a call........I tired to call ya back but my Phone definatly does not like the 403 area code.

Garbz

Heading over to Pinks all out this afternoon at Firebird Raceway nine second cars and winner take all......

I can't believe whoever it was named that nasty beer after the State. Best beer in Texas is Shiner Bock or Ziegen Bock. Not that I drink enough to be a connoisseur or anything like that.

Like I said before sorry guys

:iamwithstupid:I was just trying to make the point that was hammered

out in the previous thread that SS Is NOT about Competion

But JC Honestly I did not realize so many guys don't drink RootBeer

LOL
and there will be at least two card carrying english speaking Canucks at 08. I promised you I ride in the 64 or did you forget

Johnny Canuck · Post by **Johnny Canuck** » December 10, 2006, 10:44 am

Ken I live on a street full of mormons so I am used to being the only guy drinking beer and leaning over a hood LOL.

There were 2 dozen of us truckers at SS2, I was not alone.

Can't name names, to protect the guilty.

Oh I will be collecting on that ride, and especially on the ride in the F100-XL Trust me.

Might have to buy some Depends

and Tim.. I have had Shiner in Dallas before. Mmm. I might be kinda up there on the connoisseur level.. I belong to a beer-making club, and we have to find out what the styles are!...strictly for judging purposes, of course.

I agree that SS and this group are ALL about the people and not competition. Heck it's not even really about the trucks! Lol, I just thought it sounded fun so I threw my hat in the ring.
