UPDATED RULES
The updated rules for all classes -
1) Contest open to all model and year Ford Trucks (includes vans, SUV's, All Wheel Drive, all levels of customization, etc) WITHIN EACH CLASS
2) Number of entries in each round limited to the first ten who enter a round. If after two weeks have passed there are less than ten but more than one entries, the entries for that round will close and the deciding poll will run anyway. If there is only one entry it wins by default and moves on to the CHAMPIONSHIP round. Contestants may only enter ONE TRUCK per round. For 2010 the polls will run until the last day of each month in which they appear.
3) To enter - post a picture of your truck at least 640 by 480 pixels in size (no links to other sites. Picture must be displayed in thread) Avoid extremely large images, please. (1024 pixels largest side of image). Huge pictures may interfere with some connection speeds. ALL images will be tailored to size by committee to fit in poll thread. You may only enter ONE truck in each round. First place finishers may not enter additional trucks in succeeding rounds, however - you may enter another truck in one of the other classes.
4) RULE OF OWNERSHIP: You must have owned the truck AT THE TIME YOUR PICTURE OF IT WAS TAKEN to enter it. You may not enter anyone elses truck FOR them. No exceptions
5) CHAMPIONSHIP RULES:
The first place finisher in each round qualifies and is entered in the CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND.
After ten regular rounds, the CHAMPIONSHIP consists of the first place finishers from the preceeding ten rounds running in a "Best of the Best" contest.
6) VOTE MONGERING: You may enlist your buds and chapter, other groups or whatever to vote for your entry. HOWEVER - be warned that all of the polls are annonymous, and your buds can always vote for someone else. There is no way to know! SPAMMING the forums should not be done at any time for this purpose, be careful what you do...
7) Once a poll is up for a round, it will be active until the last day of the month. These polls close by themselves and whoever wins does. If for some reason there is a tie - a tie breaker poll will run until the following sunday night at the latest. Local midnight is based on Central Time in the USA.
8) NON-EXCLUSION: Employees of FTE and/or IBI welcome to enter including moderators or other unpaid affiliates as well as sponsors of the site
9) REPEAT ENTRIES: Out of sportsmanship, it is asked that if you want to enter a following contest, enter no more than two in a row. After waiting for one in between, you may enter again. THIS WILL NOT BE ENFORCED! It is a request, in order to give others a chance. ONCE YOU HAVE WON A ROUND (this is important) you may not enter another round that season with another truck - your winning truck is automatically entered in the finals, and no more than one entry in the finals by the same person is permitted.
10) PRIZES: 1st place winner in each round will recieve a free one year paid membership to Club FTE, which provides access to extra features such as the Club FTE Members Only forum. Those who already are supporters will be given a twelve month extension to the membership they already have.
(I'm assuming that last years good will extends to this one)

Post 'em up!

 

Just for grins, here is my 1986 F150. 302 with AOD and 8.8 inch anti-traction rear end. Ya it's rough but you gotta start somewhere

 

Nice Truck!

 

Thanks, I got it as a partial payment for doing a ground up restoration on a guy's 1961 Falcon last summer. It looks a little better than in this picture already. But current plans are to fix the rust on the cab and fenders and hood this summer. Not sure what to do about the box yet. The only other things I would like to do to it is put smoke stacks on it and a lighted visor. At least black paint is cheap, the pinstripping is going to be fun.

 

Awesome, Now show me pictures of your '68!

 

In a different thread

 

OK, No Problem.
Hey Steve, Your gonna have fun with this Round!
Are ya gonna do graphics, or what's the plan?

 

Steve, the rules kinda confuse me haha. does that mean i can enter 2 in a row but not 3 or should i wait a round then try again?

 

You can enter two in a row.
It's suggested you wait 1 Round then you can re-enter.

 

^^^^^^

What he said.

 

okidoke, well ill enter in the round after this one then, cause im never catching Steve.

 

You might have to let him enter this round if no one else enters anything, or can I put up a second truck and try to kick my own butt?

 

I'll give it another shot...
I gotta represent the Sexy '70s!
