My late Dad's nickname was Tic Tac like the candy. Hence the name Tacson. My mom's nickname is Bea. Hence the plate on the front of my truck reads Tac&B's Boy

It's a combination of an old high school nickname,my last name,and the year of my birth. Not my truck,which is a 51.

Carlo-Isabella-Amanda-Frederico All names of my kids, But my Ford driving homies tell me that it could mean C***y- In - A - Ford. Just a Coinky-Dink I suppose, but let's not rat me out ( again ) to the FTE big guys since I lost my first handle
( El Cabron) a nickname since 38 years ago because some whiney cry baby was offended. ??? I like the new one too though and I understand the rules.

My last name is Hellman, as in Hellmann's mayonnaise, hence "Mr Mayo". My grandfather and previous generations did spell it with two N's, but my dad's generation dropped one.

Hey Mr Mayo, youre one of those I wanted to know about! I was kind of confused.My wife says that happens alot. This has been a pretty cool thread, I know it don't have anything to do with building trucks, but it does give insight to all of us who do build trucks.

B/B refers to the (Big Block) 460 powering my ride. My avatar just reflects my Norwegian heritage.

That license plate is how I found Donald at the supernats in 06. I saw him drive by where we were standing. I had my brother call him (I can't use phones) to make sure it was him.

Mine is so boring...

Brian_B.....Anyone that can't figure that one out?

If you see Brian_B on another ford truck/hotrod/paint & body site...more than likely it is me. I am over 40. I need it simple.

My real handle since I was a teenager has always been "E-Dawgie". My wife still answers the phone and they ask "is the Dawg home" ? I don't remember how it came about. It had something to do with playing with the "big dogs". If you've ever seen my charming face, you'll recognize that early-on, I was a big boy and just a bit rough around the edges until I became as ultra-sophisticated as I am today.

I stopped using that handle when all the various Hip-Hop "Doggs" started coming out. Maybe I should change my Profile.

Well, my name is Mike and I live in a region of Florida known as the sandhills. It is actually the original dune line that was formed when the land emerged from the sea.

I agree with Walston, I understand the 48 part, but whats with the letters? I also believe that really was a picture of you on the other thread I think you should have posted the pict of Sean Connery

Believe it or not but Boudreaux was taken which is what everyone calls me down here, so I went with F6guy because F6man was also taken
