Event Coverage DFW swap meet this weekend

This weekend is the DFW swap meet at LaGrave field in Fort Worth. No rain in the forcast and low 70 for a hi temp. Hopefully it will be a good one.

 

It usually is a pretty good swap meet.

I'll be out there looking for Vette stuff.

 

Come by and say hi. I'll be on the front end of row 19.

 

Hope there are more people at this swap meet than the replies might indicate...........

 

Ah man, I wish I could make it up there. I'm working this weekend.

 

I'm going to be there. Have a Halloween party in Dallas that happens to be on this Saturday. Went last year and it was a good swapmeet.

 

What kind of stuff are you selling?

 

I mainly go to sell my insulation but I always take lots of odds and ends just to try to make more room in the shop. Mostly chevy parts.

 

I am gonna try to make it out

 

Too cool !

 

50 degrees at 8:00 tomorrow morning....bring a jacket!

 

As Dirty31 says " thats roadster weather !"

 

I'll be out there Sunday. If you see some idiot buying something ****py or worthless for a small fortune thats me. Come slap me and remind me I almost have enough saved up to rebuild my 351.

 

Sounds like perfect Mimosa weather

Jerry, a guy i know should have some early vette stuff...row 8, #125. We'll be a couple of rows over, with gawd knows what to sell/swap, give away after 4:00

 

If you see some idiot buying something ****py or worthless for a small fortune thats me.
I was out there about 4 today , bought another minibike frame, dont have anyplace to ride the other one I have. I know how you feel. The place was already packed by Fri. afternoon ,good times.

 

Won't be there. I would if it were my choice, but it's not...

 

Me too, I didn't see much. It is getting more and more **** like pate.

 

i have some early vette stuff odds and ends row 9 grey trailer behind kennys truck parts

 

Weather was perfect today and tomorrow looks like it going to be the same. Got there at 7:00 am and there was only a handfull there, by noon it was filling up. They were selling spaces out in the gr*** cause all of the spaces on the asphault were taken already. Thats the first time I've seen that happen at this meet. Looking forward to tomorrow.

 

hey i'm going in the morning i'm on row 27 in the back on the south side. i have 2 surf boards and a helicopter bubble for a roth car or a cool looking dog house.it is sold out. should be a good one

 

OK I'll be looking for the vett stuff!

See ya in the morning

 

Jeeesh, the place was crowded.. I took a few pix, I'll post them later

 

Find me some Slant 6 stuff!!! Ya got the building in the air yet?

 

It was the best La Grave I've ever been too.

 

I didn't find a thing...and now they're charging to park. WTF's up with that?

 

The best one i have ever been too, we are gonna have to get a bigger wagon to haul parts. good seeing all the hambers today

 

I parked out on main, they started charging to park at Fort Worth Cats lot over a year ago ..

I seen allot of stuf, cheap too but .. did not buy much..spent the day getting sun burnt talking to people

 

Sorry Bud. Didnt find anything for the 'leaning tower of power' Had a great time though. Almost sold out on the insulation and sold quite a few parts too. Picked up a couple more Rodchestor carbs 2bbls too. I may have to start looking for a 6 duece manifold now for the nailhead instead of a 3x2. ALso picked up a std belhousing for a chevy for $20, a big honking compound vice for $30, Its always nice to come home with more money than I left with and still bring home some toys. Hell the dog even had a good time. You should have been there!

Yepper, your wagon was over flowing when I saw ya. It was the best DFW swap in my book too. I enjoyed seeing some Hambers again and meeting a few I havent.

Only had a chance to take a few pics but here is a few of the HAMB worthy ones.

These two were right across the isle from me




Cool Chevy COE wrecker





I believe this was a HAMBers truck, which one of you belongs to this one?


Even saw Big Olds ugly step sister

 

Keep on lookin I did move some dust off the ol'truck today!

 

I thought this car was a good buy. $10.5k for a ready to go Rod. 455 olds, turbo 400 nova clip A/c and heat. Paint the fenders black and hit the road.
