    not a huge haul but got some stuff I can use,
    and some just 'cause it was there..

    first I found a 1-5/8" tubing bender
    then found some tube to bend

    Cool Deal.... I bought one of those benders last year at a garage sale, it's a speedway item , works pretty good, easy to make sub frames, and roll cages. replacement dies are available thru speedway, alittle pricy , but better than paying somebody else to bend em. Build your self a 30" high stand, makes bending a lot easier,

    Cool Paul!
    I was there all day. Lookin' for SBC parts for the 'A'.
    Ended up buyin' a nice pair of '67 327 heads,fully ported,double springs,7/16" studs....good stuff.
    Also picked up a Mallory Unilite with mechanical tach drive....cheap!...and a gear drive.
    But the coooolest thing I picked up was an Edelbrock 6x2 log intake for early Olds.

    A couple pics.

    I picked up a set of big block valve covers too. Didn't find anything real exciting that I was willing to pay for. Just picked up some little stuff.

    I noticed a couple of '54 Chevy cars that called to me, but I didn't bring that much money or a trailer either one.

    man, i love the thrill of going to swap meets! nice bender......if you like it well enough, you might try one of harbor freights air over hydraulic rams... but you use what you've got when you get it on the cheap.....

    don't you just love it when you get a good deal on something, walk a few isles over and find the other half or the pc. that completes it!!
     
  12. What a steal. I paid waaaay more for mine.

    Nice name too, Dick. :)
