This weekend ladies and gents. Stop buy and see the sights and smells of the Hawkeye Downs swap meet in Cadar Rapids IOWA. MAP FLYER I'll be there selling all the stuff I don't need, I was selling there last year and met a few HAMBer's. Are you Going? Last year there was a Meet and Greet near the stands. If you miss it feel fre to stop by my area and introduce your self. Here's a few pics of me and the wife so you can know us when you see us. Jeff.
I'll be there selling as many T body parts as we can fit into the truck. In a black Dodge pickup, we usually try to get on one of the tracks.
I'm gonna try and be where I was last year. South side of the road straight in from the south entrance. I liked watching all the traffic to get on the track last year. And I was relitivly close to the bathrooms and the food. Jeff

well looks like i missed out ! been a long week and an electrical emergency at the farm kept me busy repairing the service to several bins yesterday leaving me unable to get to town before the bank closed for some cash ! i like to be there early to get the deals and since they don't open till 9 today i decided to stay home and spend time w the girlfriend and her kids and catch up on some sign jobs ! just talked to a friend who got back and he said it was the most vendors he had seen in years and looked like stuff was actually moving ! oh well guess i'll always wonder what i missed out on like my 40 ford deluxe steering wheel complete w center cap last year for 30 $ post up your good scores if you had one today
i got a pair of kegs for 10 bucks, ron francis box for 21, lots of misc stuff seemed like everything was a 1 everyone musta been goin to the tata bar
I was there six hours and didn't get through all of it. Found a pair of '53 Chevy wheel covers for $15 to match the two I already had and a chrome small block oil pan for $20.
My best purchases were a pair of split '32 wishbones for $100, and a pair of Appleton 112 spotlights for $7. Of course they need work, but man, $7!
