Wasn't planning to go but an unexpected death in the family brought me back on Wednesday. My father was already planning to pick up some parts he had ordered for his 56' Bel Air so I tagged along today. We didn't cover the entire place but from what I saw I wasn't that impressed. A lot of overpriced parts that we could find cheaper elsewhere. Some people think their junk is worth more than new/repro parts are. Maybe we missed seeing the good deals.

It was nuts how many people were gone by 7pm. We heard that some guys come Tuesday and setup so they can watch stuff come in the gate and grab it. I'd imagine most are beat by Saturday afternoon. I got some sheet metal for my '64 but missed out on some disc brakes and shoulda jewed on a sombrero center cap I needed.

Some good, some bad. I was able to do exactly the deal I wanted (traded new, but wrong sized center caps for correct size), so that's nice. Still, place was packing up fast yesterday afternoon so it was a long walk past empty spaces and trucks/trailers to see stuff that was for sale.

Got there at 8am Saturday with my dad. We were expecting warmer weather so we were pretty cold for a few hours! Saw Clayton and heard that Kevin was near but didn't see him. Denny showed up later, and we went to the Smoke Pit for lunch.

You are right about walking past tons of trailers and trucks. It also seemed like over half the swap was motorcycle stuff this year. Pate never disappoints on overpriced and unusable '55-57 Chevy stuff.I came with a wad of cash to buy any good Hemi or FL parts but there was almost nothing. I did pick up a flawless pair of '61 Dodge tail lights for $40 to flip (expect 500ish). It was good to see some people, but for buying parts it was a waste of time.
When the government pays, the government controls.
