Event Coverage ready for Hershey

first time i will be using a cart, if I run over your foot, I'll apologize now.

 

And if the lines are too long at the restrooms you can use it for a crapper

I wonder how many hubcaps it will haul?

 

Mike, if you see any parts catalogs especially transmission parts like republic gear or similar you've got a buyer.

 

I don't have anything but I will be on the look out for them for you. Are you looking for just standard trans parts books or do you need automatic stuff too? We will be there Wed & Thurs. When are you going? I have mis-placed the business card with your cell number, if you give it to me I will give you a call if I find something. My cell is 740 270 9404

 

I almost forgot to tell you, I saw a Chevy panel, maybe a 52 or 53, the other day down by Athens, Ohio. Looks pretty nice but it is an older build with some places starting to come out. It has a 350 and auto trans. The guy is a wheeler dealer and always has a bunch of cars for sale, mostly older stuff. He didn't have a price on it and I didn't ask as I am not looking for one. the only name I know him by is Tiggy but I can get you a phone number if you would want to talk to him.

 

Lol. I'll be heading down on Tuesday. Never been, so any other pointers?

 

Bring comfortable shoes, Buy a case of water at home for $4 or less. It will be more than $2 a bottle on the grounds. Weather is supposed to be mid 60's F. They are saying dry right now, but bring rain gear anyway.

 

buy a program, it can save a lot of walking.
all vendors are listed by what they sell .
OAD 1&2 early Mustang parts

 

I have plans to make it a rolling billboard.
studebakerjoe, I'll look for catalogues

 

Thanks Mike. That big stack I got from you before comes in handy. Nice to have the info at your fingertips.

 

I made this cart 5-6 years ago, baby stroller jogging cart and a large milk crate. Folds up and fits in a trunk or back seat, handle is adjustable, grandson can stand on the axle, front wheel can be fixed or allowed to swivel. Can't imagine shopping Hershey without a cart. See you Tuesday. Bob

 

As much cash that you can spare, buy a program with the maps and vendor locations. note the numbers on the light poles that are close to spaces you want to come back to. Have fun, this is 50 in a row for me. Bob

 

Been using this one for over 10 years. Here’s a photo of it getting its annual maintenance and tire rotation. See you there!

 

Wow, first time. Rain gear, comfortable shoes, water and money. All a must. Bring a list of your needs, it's easy to miss something in all that is there. Pay for parking, walk in for free. Bring change, or bills, but tip the port-a-potty folks. They do a great job and that's not where you want to be cheap. The weather will change. Bring dry socks. Bring something to carry your treasures. Be patient, be nice. You can easily walk 15+ miles without effort in a day.

 

Bit tired, got the last of the heavy stuff loaded. Final items go in tomorrow afternoon, Got a load of last minute items and some old bicycles to sell cheap. Bob

 

All loaded! Pull out at 6:am Look for this 16' 9"Banner , A Truck and Auto Races sign plus lots more @ C4J 36

 

Ain't going to fit much in there Mike, if you need a spot to lay parts down to go get more I am in the Chocolate field C4H-11/12. I can hide it in the truck while you go get more.

 

I have been using a "bag lady" cart for years but of course I had to modify it with better wheels. With cool mornings, and warm afternoons, you can take off your jacket and not have to carry it. Also a place for raincoats and umbrellas, (although we won't need them this year) drinks, snacks etc. Anyone remember the kids that played hookey from school and would offer to take your parts back to your car, in their wagons. I haven't seen them in a couple of years.

 

60% chance of rain on Wed. All other days are 25%. High 60's all week. Bring boots, it may snow.

 

I just checked, now they say 40% before it was 30% I think it will be something. I just put the beer in the truck on ice.

 

Shit! I am probably going home with that damn banner. Guess I better build the Big ass Garage..... so where is the best spot for Bourbon and cigars? {bringing my own of course}

 

Leaving in the am for the 13 1/2 hour ride

Looking forward to see pics

 

Leaving at 9:30am. Light rain on and off, much cooler temperatures. Yeah, that’s Hershey weather.

 

100% chance of darkness each night.

 

And I was not looking forward to 5. LOL
