Well, it was different. Maybe it was the weather or maybe it's the internet. There seemed to be a lot fewer people wandering the swap meet area this year and no one I spoke to had a lot of good things to say.
I sold, or gave away, a few items this year, but that wasn't why I was there. Caught up with some old friends, made a few new ones and generally had a good time. I didn't walk around as much this year as I have in the past, my left foot is still bothering me a bit and when I walk around a lot it really gets to hurting. My boys walked the whole thing and snagged a few deals, they got someone to split 3 sets of big block motor mounts and bought 3 of the same side to make pairs for my buddy. I've yet to figure out why someone would do that. :wtf:
I brought home a few items; 4 Holley carbs, a 750 from a motorhome, a 650 double pumper, a 650 single inlet and a 600 all for $100 I figured for that price they can sit until I need one. I grabbed a good TQ, a spool mount slant 6 K frame, the piece that mounts under the grille for a '70-2 Duster for my son's car and some fabricated aluminum valve covers, they were used for mock up purposes only. I'll use the K frame for my Valiant, temporarily at least, along with the 7-1/4 rear from the '74 Duster I picked up for my son. I also bought a beautiful pair of '70-1 Duster tail lights, I don't really know why. I also grabbed a set of TRW 2293 pistons with rods, I'm not sure if they're used or not, but for free. :shifty:
Doc, I became friends with the guy I bought your rail from and he's bringing me a left door for my car next year, I'm in no hurry. I may have found a grille, possibly a (4 door) parts car, I'll know more soon. :giggedy:
