OK boyz. New house is one month away with a heated shop, already too cold to work in the one here. I have a week off at Xmas. Time for this ol' boy to get his arse in gear. I haven't lifted a wrench to the Slick since Feb.
Anybody else gonna be in a rush?

Sorry John, you had this coming! I am feeling poetic tonight 
Here we go guys and gals, a little precursor to the holidays!
Twas the year before Slickstock and all through the shop, not a tool was a stirring, not even a mop
the coverals were hung by the toolbox with care, in hopes that ambition would move them from there
the welder was dusty, parts laid in the bed (box)LOL, while visions of completion danced in JC's head
and ma with her rolling pin chasing me as I went, out to the garage yelling about all the money I've spent
when out on the puter there arose such a clatter, I nearly dropped my beer to see what was the matter.
away to the laptop I flew in a flash, I openned my paypal account and filled it with cash
The LCD glow of the monitor gave way, to the dream I've been having for many a day
For what to my lustful eyes should appear, twas a Ford powered Bricklin, 75 was the year.
with a 351 Windsor so lively and quick, I knew if I was outbid I would surely be sick
"buy it now" was in sight, out with the mouse he came, he clicked once, he clicked twice as he called out their names. Hoofbeat and Garbz, Banjo and FBPete, even SlickFan in Utah and Nebraska's Greg D! El Polacko, Heavy Hauler, Brother Vinnie, Uncle Skip, Oh Iceman please forgive me don't think that I've flipped
For I've bought a Bricklin to fullfill a dream, to cruise Route 66 in style it it would seem
But what have I done, I have too many rides. I must sell a truck and swallow my pride.
Good thing for Dean, he's sure to make the trip. He'll buy my girl Jinx with the Volare front clip.
I'm the #1 poster on this Slick 60s website, someone will buy her to make things all right. And he did take the Uni as we all can see, to park next to one on his rotisserie.
Now that brings me back to my original fun, a 64 Merc that still doesn't run. I've been to 04 and 06 empty handed, if I don't start this soon I will surely be branded!
As a poster who leads with hints and with tricks, but never can seem to show up with a slick!
So back to the garage he returned on a mission, to show up at 08 in the driver's position. With a wrench in his left and a beer is his right, I heard him exclaim as he went out of sight.
Happy Slickstock to all and to all a Good Night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All I can say is it's about time Johnny Boy. Hope everyone has a good laugh at your expense

LOL very good mark 
Yes spent all summer on the Bricklin. But she is better for for wear now with new brakes all around, new water pump, starter, fan,tune up,gas tank, fuel pump, rebuilt carb etc.
Two things holding me back on the truck. It passed 4 years in construction and I just got tired of never getting anywhere on it. and, i will have to drill holes in the firewall to install wiring harnesses, and that just makes me kinda queasy. But, no i realize, in Mark the Elvis impersonator's vernacular, that it now or never. In the spring, there will be all that landscaping crap that goes with a new house. so, Xmas time is the perfect time to get the ol' girl a runnin.
Then, all I got is finishing stuff. That stuff only took uncle Skip 2 years, and he never drives his. Mine has to go to Kansas city in 9 months. Better get on the stick.

If it starts to rain, they'll tax the splash.
If you want to fish, they'll tax the bass.
If you plant a yard, they'll tax the grass.
If you don't play nice, they'll fine your *$#!

Ah JC---get to work.
I seem to remember the stress of getting my Uni inspected and tagged at 4:30 in the afternnoon before "06" Having never driven the truck more than 2 miles. But it was the greatest to have it there. Good Luck !!

oh and that poem is FANTASTIC

Slick. 21 months in construction when I move in Dec 15. I work for the builder, this is the second one I have designed for myself, since that is what I have done for 29 years for a living. Employees get last priority, so it took a LONG time. As you know, out here in Mountain Standard time is it dark as bejeeziz at 5 ish now. So tomorrow I will go snap some pics.

He can't be Texan that guy, I never once heard him say how much better things are in Texas. Plus he's extremely helpful cheerful and funny. Now those alone are not uncommon in The "Don't mess with" state, but all together? He says he is from Texas.. but.. 
Maybe I just never met enough Texans. Can't, because they don't "do" Slickstock.
