Event Coverage Austin Swap Meet 2011

Wish someone would do that around here, the last big swap meet we did cost $85 for a pickup and two of us.

 

DAMN! $85... This is mainly about helping each other out and if you can make a buck great, and if not swap or give away... Comraderie!

 

Cant wait, looking for some body parts for a 53 chevy pickup.

 

I'll be there. Would some cd's be all right to sell with my automotive stuff?

 

Finally I got something to do on Sunday.

 

Just make sure to bring all those automotive goodies too...

~Amen


and... BTT

 

Think I'll come up from San Angelo! Will ya have some posters for sale?

 

Sweet!!!!

 

coolness

 

I'm in!
Question, What size are the spaces? Are you using the parking spot lines to determine the spaces? I need to park my truck in a space due to heavy stuff and wondering if there will be any room around it to display other stuff.

 

Andy, spaces aren't really set in stone. A pickup + 20' trailer will cost $10, same as anything else. If you need more room than that, it's another $10. Still way cheaper than any other swap meet spaces! We can accomodate anyone needing more room than normal if they show up right at 9am. We'll be plotting out the area this week or so to see how we will be laying everything out.

 

I'm looking for these my buddy saw some at the kyle swap meet thanks Gerry

 

To be honest havent given it much thought... It may be cool to have a few run off on some card stock for posterities sake...

Those look like Amercan Racing wheels. T70R is the name, I believe.

 

wellallrightythen....

 

Atleast 3 of us coming up!

 

Initial set up may be this side or the opposite side of the parking lot, but this is what we are looking at the typical spaces to lool like. Either two spaces vertically or horizontaly facing. If you need WAY more room than this please contact us ahead of time so we can be sure to accomadate what you require and or be there before 9:00 a.m.. There is also space to unhook if you wish.

 

BTT for the mid afternoon crowd...

 

Great work guys!

 

Man i need to move to Austin!! I'm just down 35 in San Antonio and no swap meets here.

 

I get my tax return right before this happens. Perfect timing!

 

Do you pre register? I am for sure coming and would not mind having a space guaranteed.
You can put my name on a side by side spot. I am bringing flathead, 32, and hemi stuff. I also have a 55 chevy engine that might travel.

 

Its just a quick drive up the road... See you on the 6th!

 

As of right now there is no "official" pre registration in the sense that we collect money ahead of time. We do however have a running list of names of folks we know for sure that are going to be setting up. We will add your name to the list. Im sure there will be plenty of folks interested in what you have listed so far!

See you on the 6th!

 

Hi Freeland these are the wheels 15/7 American Racing 5 Spokes Thank for the help...

 

You guys are doing a great job of set up and getting the word out. Thanks

 

Ill keep an eye out for those wheels for you... May hit up our FB page too... Not all who are on there are HAMBers

Thanks, we are excited... We know the first one is always the most difficult and everyones first impression, all we can do is hope for the best and plan for the worst... But I think it will be a good one... Its long time coming for sure!

 

I am allways looking for stuff to hang in the shop and most guys will pay 10 bucks or so for a cool poster,on card stock, I would give 15 or 20 bucks.

 

Count me in for a poster as well. and I will be there with money burning hold in my pockets. (but the old lady made me swear to start no new projects...so the loophole is ...everything i buy is for the current money graveyard)

 

Same day as the Cars and Coffee up in Leander. If I get to that, I'll print up some of these flyers to hand out and then head on over.
