Swap Meet - Columbia, MO 2/19 - 2/20/2010

http://www.gspromotions.net/

I haven't found a post from Atch about this swap meet, so I thought I might post it up for your Missouri Hambers.

 

I usually go, but don't buy much, it's mostly roundy round stuff, but some hot rod stuff shows up too. It's very cold out, but most of it's inside a dirt floor building. Well the biggest part is on dirt. I'm in and out in about an hour. I haven't bought anything in the last 4 years I've gone, I skipped the 2 years prior to that. It's the first one of the season here, so I go just to get out. Lunch at Longhorns is the best part of the day, they open at 10am, and I'm usually waiting for the door to open. YUMMMM Longhorns.

 

Dean if your a Pizza guy you need to hit Shakespears Pizza. If I run into you at the swap and you want to hit the Pizza joint count me in. Keith

 

I'll be there , not much to buy for us but not much else to do in this weather LOL
I always hear people talk about shakespere pizza but I didn't think it was all that great, now booches(sp) burgers is another story

 

One of these years, I'll invite yall out to the Shop for a beer or two afterwards and maybe I'll have my project going...

I live just a few miles north of the fairgrounds.

 

I'll have a small booth there, little bit of hot rod stuff, not much. I'll be there with my brothers, they both do roundy round stuff. One of them is a really good pinstriper and custom painter. Stop by and say hello. The names Thomas and should be in the dirt area...

 

I like the wobbly drunk stools

Where you coming in from?

 

Thomas I will swing by your spot. I met your brother last year at Wild Wings and when we put the body on the sedan

 

Give me an idea of what you'll have, or who to look for. It would be good to meet some local Hambers.

By Next year, I should be ready for visitors at my place. I am busy doing 4x4 stuff for a customer right now and don't want to bore you.

My Henry J will go in the shop in the next few months and I'll start on the ch***is. Might be something to look at by then...

 

I plan on being there Saturday morning.
r

 

I'm coming from St.Louis .
I will have a setup outside, silver trailer with some new steel cowl hoods for sale and some misc used bits and pieces .
I'm going outside cause Brian wont let ya leave early if your inside .

 

I might try to go , if I'm still in town.

 

BinderRod, yup that was me and my sedan. long gone now, have a 40 coupe.
Hemi- I'm 'bout 6'4" and will have juice brakes there with some other little ****. My brothers will have more, he'll have some custom painted helmets

 

Anyone want to ride out from St. Louis Saturday morning?

 

Is it really worth going to from K.C. MO. ??

 

Forecast callin' for snow, but I'll be there. Hoping to find something neat.

And, Shakespeares is good, but Booches is the way to go.

 

I'm looking for Chrysler/Desoto flathead 6 core motors or speed parts. If you have some in the back of the shop or shed, let me know, or PM me and work out a deal.

I'll be there for a little bit Saturday morning, but won't stay long, because there most likely won't be any old (pre 1950) Mopar stuff. Heck, there wasn't any old Mopar stuff at the Mopar swap meet 2 weeks ago, so I don't know why I'd expect any here!

Would love to go but it is a little too far for me to drive my old hoopty.

 

I'm still planning on going, snow or no snow. Looks like I'll be going alone, my buddy has to work. Dean

 

I prefer the Greek burger joints for the money. Jimmy's down south or what is the one up north by Radio Shack and Best Buy?

 

Not sure how long we will have to stay being set up outside but I'm game as long as some one leads, I dont want to get lost w/ a trailer lol like it's the first time I've done that

 

G&D - Stadium Exit off 70. There is one next to Best Buy and another one just up the street on the right side in a strip mall w/ Sprint and a Pet store in it.

 

This gonna be a group feed?

 

Yep and your buying

Tinker and I will be up friday so we'll hit up somewhere for dinner
do not have rooms yet though .

 

Was there much of a seller turn out for Friday??

 

KInd of A Joke in my opinion. Not all that many venders, about 1/3 was new stuff, the rest was over priced junk.

 

Not a whole lot there. But did get to meet some pretty cool people.

 

I rode with toomanyprojects.
I scored a NICE model 94 Carb for $40, a timing chain for $15, and some supplies I needed.
We had a real good time.
For me it was worth the trip.

 

a lot of people there but they were not spending money .
got chisseled hard on the little we sold.
I didn't buy anything except a ryobi cordless kit for $60 cause noone else wanted it .
most of stuff was junk

 

Hey Fitzgerald that's a good lookin profile pic. I setup and sold some A stuff. I did OK and met some new hambers.
