Event Coverage Ft. Worth swap meet who's going

I know about the round-up in austin but some of us have to work and sell things to make a living. So lets see the hands of you die hart swappers out there.

My father and i will be on row 20 360-363 come by and say hi


charles and tinker

 

I'll be there to drag home something I really don't need. Or the start of my next project depending on your perspective. Wanna guess my wife's perspective?

 

what s the deal no swappers out there. its this weekend

 

I'm right across the street from you. Row 19 368 370 372. Would rather be at the Roundup but like you, I gotta make a living.

 

Dang, you look like my avitar......cept older!

 

I'll be looking around , bring a umbrella it sounds like

 

is it sat or sunday also?

 

We will be on 9 down by the fence on the West side. Golf carts, tools, whatever we can find for an excuse to go to a swap meet.
I haven't seen you since probably '70 or so, when I used to pick up Mike Norris's '92 blocks.

 

Friday is set up day , will be ok in afternoon if weather is not awful
Saturday is busy, Sunday "most" of the folks have sold and left

but, there will still be people selling and buying Sunday just not many

 

just sat and sun no fri.

ill be leaving the round up going towards mo on sat night staying in dallas for sat night. is it worth taking a detour to attend this swap or is it most shit?

 

I am going down there Friday evening and will be there all day Saturday, maybe Sunday. I am carrying a 1968 C-10 and some Mustang and Nova parts. I am setting up in my friends spot, but I can't remember the number.

Come by and say Hi.

 

Well, our forecast here is for rain starting late tonight (Thursday) thru

Friday and into Saturday so I can't give you a great guess

I can tell you that "typical" is that by noon on Friday its about 1/2 full
Saturday by 9:00 -10:00 is packed , there is lots of junk too but, some good ( often over priced )

By Saturday night most have had enough and are gone so Sunday less than 25 % of the spaces have anything left , makes it hard to walk it

Like playing connect the dots ..

with the rain it might make people hang around for Sunday ?

Its right off 35 just a mile and half of so ..

Myself, ol geezer and a couple of Friends are going Saturday, hope its not raining.

 

I'll be there Saturday looking for stuff for my Model A project: dash, headlights, deck lid, gauges, misc hardware, etc. I'll stop by #368 and say hey.

 

Ryno, its a pretty good swap meet but pretty much done be Sunday most of the time. If you dont have motel reservations try the Country Inn & Suites 1.817.831.9200. Its on North side Drive and I35w. Its a nice place with a great Mexican food resturant next door and its about 3 miles from the swap meet.
