Paul, Gate opens at 9:30 from what I hear. You trying to get a head start on us?

 

I have to work overtime, if anyone goes and finds any cool cars for under 20 gs PM me please, I will be at the early meet next week though.

 

yes, 9:30 for general entry
or for a couple bucks more, 8:30 early entry at the Gold gate..

I'm not getting a space for this one this year
but maybe next weekend.

 

heads up

Earlybird Swap tomorrow

so, what are you looking for...since you seem quite anxious for this event to start.

 

hey 60...rocket88 and i are headin down Sat morn..we'll come lookin for ya....if we dont get raped at the border...LOL

 

I rarely go with a specific shopping list

I just like to walk in the cold crisp air and sunshine..

and paw through old junk

 

I still have a looong shopping list... I'll be there! Looking for front radius rods and SBC tri-power and more...

 

you sir, sound like a true adventurer, wanting nothing, but always ready when nothing crosses your path...

 

some stuff seen today...

 

and some junk I drug home

intake manifold for one of the spare motors
a couple crusty A crossmembers
a '57 Olds rearend
and a groovy record jacket

 

Yep, I was like a baby in a candystore, the biggest swap meet I've ever seen...
Before I suddenly ran out of money when I was buying a clutch for my T-5, I bought 1949 Mercury Top Rear Quarter Fenders for my friend, exactly the same kind which just ended on egay for $212... I paid $40 pr. with complete taillights and gas door... I couldn't find front radius rods and so I ended buy splitted wishbone with new rod ends for 40 bucks... I think it was a good deal, it's a bit illegal back home but who really cares when you find some cool shit laying around there...

Oh by the way, that Italmechanica supercharger was not for sale, they were just looking for some parts for it.

I also bought a bunch of 30'ies Ford gauges, it was a good deal too, but I don't want to tell the price because I'm gonna sell them to Finland for big money haha.....

Mika

 

yup,
and the 10.50-16 racemasters were good for show only,
looked almost unused, but hard as rock,
the genuine 1932 grill shells were priced way beyond my means
as were the twelve spokes
but all cool stuff anyway

and was it cold out or what?
prolly only got up to the mid thirties even in the sun

 

Hey Paul....did you get the rear end from the guy inside with the Dodge coupe and Olds motor?? I bought my sedan body from him...kinda know 'em.
I didn't buy anything this time although I was looking pretty hard at a Sharp 2x2 for a flatty and a 3x2 for early Olds.

Josh

 

yes,
he seemed very ready to deal on the coupe,
I bet a guy could get it delivered tomorrow for a lot less than the $800.00
he was asking

 

His Rocket was a bit pricey though... Oh yes, I scored an old So-Cal cast aluminun air scoop, cool as hell, maybe I put on the roof of my coupe?!?!?!


What was that old race car 3W-Deuce with old plates, black-yellow- some lettering etc. on the parking lot? I took a photo with my phone but it's in there... The car was awesome!

 

I don't know who owns it but have seen it around
I'm sure some here know who belongs to it

 

Rocket and I got up at 5 freekin AM,and drove for 3-1/2 hours for that ?!
ahhh i'm just peed i didnt find anything i wanted..LOL
i almost bought a car just so i didnt come home empty handed...lmao
Glad you guys had better luck...and i cant believe we didnt run into Comet and 60...oh well ...theres always Monroe...

 

damit any body see any nail head stuf?

 

Haha I went there today again! Yeah, I know, it's silly but what the hell, Forsakenfew and 56droppedHT paid my gas yesterday and the sun was shining...

Made some last-minute shopping, I like to buy cheap shit when they are packing... 15 copies of Hot Rod Magazine 1958-63 for 30 bucks... Model A front spring for $10, 30-31 "A" headlights $20, Model A (hopefully) windshield frame $30.... lol

 

yeah, me too haha
it's tough when you only live minutes away..

I brought home something to practice tig welding on

 

I don't think either of those coupes sold,

the rusty A looked like it had been used for a trampoline
but had a $3,000.00 price tag

and the rough and gutted '40 was $10,000.00

 

I'm sorry, I know it's a tech week (great), but there is one swap tomorrow and I need to make my mind...

So anything to say about this one?

I can't make it to the "Almost Spring" Swap next week...

 

that I believe is definately on topic
last year I swung in thinking the same thing,

I snagged a 394 and 303 Olds, both with transmissions very reasonable
