    Anyone else going to find deals at SBC Mullet heaven? The best parts of it being a predominantly SBC/muscle car swap is that all the cool vintage stuff usually goes for cheap :)
     
  2. I'll be there Saturday, sifting through the piles of used window airconditioners and junk snowmobile parts to find 1 or 2 real hot rod parts....

    Jefferson used to be a good swap 15 years ago, now....like most of them, it's beannie babes, t-shirts, vacuum cleaners and some late-model parts.

    Matt

    P.S. But I know if I don't go I'll miss out on something good!!! LOL

    Its Jefferson weekend, did you expect anything other then rain or some other ****py weather? I'm bringing my boots, rain poncho, and some cash. I have a list, and one of the things on my list I know I will find is one of those big ice cream bars. mmmmmm.

    Gunna be there Sat. How about a HAMB meet-n-greet at the grandstands (the end towards the buildings) around noonish?

    Yeah, those big ice creams are awesome. Usually is my first money spent. I guess I'm driving a car down for Cliffy to put in the corral. I'm hoping for Saturday only but Cliffy wants to go down on Friday.

    I plan on being there on Saturday too.
    I agree that you have to sift through alot of ****, but some deals are usually still there to be found. Then again, I really like buying ****.

    What portion of the grandstands are you talking about meeting at? Depending where I am at noon, maybe I'll stop by also.

    Be sure to look for Mike and 'the Hotrod company' - his booth is worth the admission alone!
    www.thehotrodcompany.com

    not to mention Bleed's setup!

    It's also fun counting how many mullets and pairs of sweat pants you see in an hour - the average m.p.h (mullet per hour) at Jefferson is about 7-8.

    The average s.p.p.h. (sweat pants per hour) is closer to 11-13.

    Count for yourself if you don't believe me, and remember the numbers are an average- have fun and see you there!

    I think I am still going. I need some late model parts (s10) and not to mention 48 Ford and 29 Ford pick up parts too. Yea you got to sift threw the junk to find gold sometimes.
    I would be in for a M&G (meet and greet) if I got time. It is a big place.

    I was planning on taking the wife's PT to save a little gas money, but if its raining, I might take the 50 Dodge 4x4, maybe I can make a few bucks dragging guys out of the mud....Na, I'd probably just get stuck myself and break something trying to get out. I'm hoping to get there early enough to park in someone's front yard along the street.

    See ya all around noon at the end of the grandstands near all the buildings. If its raining I'll be wearing a red rain poncho, if its not raining, but cool, I'll be in a dark blue "Poor Boys Shop" sweat shirt, and if its warm, I'll be in the HAMB Drags t shirt.

    I'll be there Saturday looking for the few a far between flathead speed stuff and anything else I can't live without. If I'm still there at noon I'll come by the grandstands for a visit.
     
  30. Yeah, the Flathead stuff is really few and far between. I saw a few complete engines there last fall, but a little pricey. Not much speed stuff though. Bummer.
