Sweptline.ORG

Title says it all....how did you come up with your screen name (user name). I will add my story later (its a little long winded as you can imagine). I am really interested in some of your guys' names some I can guess, some I have NO idea about. What's your story

My buddy that I call Fordboy as that's what he has always owned returns the favour by calling me Dodgeboy. I added my name to it and use that screen name on a number of forums. We have been doing that for 30 or so years.

"PowerMan" was the handle given to my Dad by his friends on the cb radio as he drove a 63 W200 Power Wagon.

Guess.....

Terry yours was pretty easy to figure out although you should probably change it to "iownhalfthesweptlines" now

Bought my first sweptline in 2010 while looking for a project vehicle on Craigslist. 1968 d100 lwb ute. Ugly piece of crap with a hopped up la318.Knew nothing about the sweptlines or where to find parts, so I got online and found this site. Figured I had a stepside, I'm from TEXAS, 2step is a popular dance name( although I have 2 left feet ) , so Txas2step. Didn't take long to get corrected that I had a Ute, not a stepside.

It's a cross between my last name and this song. Black Sabbath was my favorite band as a teenager and they had a song with my last name in the title, but spelled differently.

Mine is an old term used for the way things are assembled or repaired.

One of my non-internet nicknames is "Six Trip Johnny" which is the average number of times
I need to go to the hardware or auto parts store to complete any given project.

Mine is easy. Where I live and what I drive put together

Ok here goes mine. When i worked as a pit boss in a casino, my buddy Shawn was weird (we will leave it at that) He used to listen to you and stare at you and when you got done talking he would say "chicken".....literally after ever statement or question you threw at him......another guy we worked with was a guy by the name of Kevin Decker...Kevin got drunk and mad one night and punched a wall at his girlfriends house and broke his hand...so naturally Shawn would call him "Kevin Decker wall". Shawn saw him get mad at his girlfriend one night and said his new name would be "Kevin Decker Face" if he got mad enough to hit her. That phrase got uttered alot around work by other people and Shawn would always say "chicken" right after anyone would say it. So "Kevin Decker face...chicken". Shawn would then go on to exclaim that his favorite food was "face chicken". Every time after that, when ever they had chicken on the lunch buffet, he would say "yum , facechicken". So when i got an Xbox i couldnt think of a gamer tag that was original or clever so I used Face Chicken. When he saw that, the name just kinda stuck with me, and people started calling me "Face" or "Chicken" at work.

My name, and 66 is my Coronet, which I've owned for 36 years now.

Mine (when I can use it as it is often taken) is from my website MrMopar.com that I have had from the early days of the internet. Otherwise I try Cuda_Al (again often taken).

Even before the internet it didn't take long for people that knew me to start calling me Mr. Mopar as they knew I was into Mopars so when it came time to get a domain name it seamed natural, I'm still surprised I got it and have kept it.

I have always liked to dig into things to see how they work. I can still remember tearing apart my Farmer See And Say when I was little to see where the animal noises were coming from.

The Texas License plate number on my very first car, 1969 Plymouth GTX

I have owned over 25 vehicles but thus is the ONLY plate number I ever remembered.

MMMMM GTX gotta love those beast's

just a nickname...I was easy to pull off 16 years ago when I signed up to the forum. It's usually taken on other forums. That's why this forum is so special because I am Slick here! slicknapier on every other forum!!

First name's Noel (pronounced like 'Knoll' 'Gnoll' or 'Mole'). Had a girl friend (not a girlfriend) in grade school who started calling me Noelie as a pet name and soon a lot of the other girls picked it up. By the time I graduated high school pretty much all of the girls called me Noelie. Things like that spread fast in a small town school, I guess. The guys mostly called me Clutch because I always drove stick, but that name's usually taken on an online car forum. Noelie's always free, for some reason
And I was born in '84, so...

Jims68 is fairly easy... my name is Jim and I own a '68!

wally426ci was my first email handle

It's a combination of my BMX nickname, Wally & something mopar related 426ci

The BMX portion came from the National Lampoon Family Vacation when they drive across the states to Walley World

My real name is Shawn but people do call my Wally in person
