Event Coverage Early Ford V8 Club 2018 Swapmeet Fitchburg Mass Roll call

260/261 with ct1932ford

 

Man that looks like a good swapmeet if not the best. I spy a 1932 roadster cowl from the pictures from last year .. It's got to be good if you have wicked cool parts like that for sale . I have been looking for years and years

 

Ok, here's the latest, today's gonna be my cutoff for updates so if you want your Spot number or pick list added, I'm leaving here by 4 today!

 

I plan to be there. Not selling this year. Hope to meet up with some hood-limbs.
Weather should be excellent.

 

I'm bringing a '59 Ford F100 rolling project to sell, also a bare stakebed from a Model TT / Model AA with "Ford Truck" script on the back.

 

I always love it when the "latte" crowd shows up at 10 and says " Why is everyone leaving?"

(By 9:30 Billy Belmont's filled his truck and is heading home to sell on the "net".)

A rare picture of Dr. Nils "Chopper" Weeks ready to amputate;

 

LOL, I was wondering how long it would take you to catch that!

 

Hah! Hey! Im up at 4 or so 5 days a week, Thats plenty early! Getting my buddy im heading there with, out his house and away from his 3 kids and wife could be the tricky bit!

 

More stuff from the dusty corners of one of my rarely entered sheds
Unknown early shorty W/S frame with hinge. $60 (41.5 across, 11.25 on end, 9.75 in center)
1932 Lincoln grill, ruff but usable $50

Wishbones $80

 

Truck is loaded, my bag is backed all I have to do is hook up the trailer, pick up @OLDTINPUSHER and I am ready...

I tried that for a year I was going to kill'em.

 

Have fun, take lots of photos and post them, I can't make it this year. Bob

Well it was good to see everyone I saw. Big turnout. Lots of good stuff. I got there at 5 and left at 8 and when I was leaving the line in was a quarter mile long. See you guys at New England dragway

 

For my first time at Fitchburg, i had a good time! got a few things i was looking for and still had some money on me when i left, saw a few familiar faces and got to ogle some cool cars, i'll definitely be back!

 

People were squeezin' the Eagle pretty hard today!
Got there with "blindowl" at 5:30 , shopped for a while, and set up around 6:45.
S L O W day makin' da cashola, but I bought a pair of coupe rear fenders, a cowl ( with posts!!), and a visor from "100% Matt"--pretty much broke even for the day. Nils and Pete scored some good stuff too ( assholes) lol

Good to see everyone , and a perfect day weather wise.
NED next week- no selling!

 

Went looking for a Model A pickup bed. Got a good deal on a Brookville bed. Scored a couple banjo steering wheels. My friend got a cool TT truck flatbed for his TT snowmobile.

 

Could not have been much better! IMO Lots of vendors, may have been the most ever with vendors set up on the other side of the paved area. Large turnout of many cool rods and customs. I sold all but one item and the sign went to a guy named Joe! Here are some photos, I could have spent the day taking pictures if I did not have to sell.
Met lots of good HAMB people. Thanks for stopping by.
