    a visit to Amocat is worth the trip in itself
    Steve and Josh have a great little shop scene,
    very true to trad stuff going on there
     
  7. i always find something at this meet, i come down from vancouver. even the basic stuff can be hard to find up here sometimes, if anything its good to get back into the season again, winter sucks in the northwest.

    Like the others said, this swap meet is smaller that the Corvette/High Performance meet or the Early Bird meet, which both occur in mid February. It's still worth going to-always something there. Portland is the big event, April 12-15, then Monroe in mid-May. Mt. Vernon is very small but fun and now has lots of old bike stuff, too.

    Things are good. I sent a box of stuff to platu at primer. I hope he gets it soon. Other than that things are good. Finishing up a pre war 29 roadster for the father's day roadster show. It should be a nice car. I will forward you pics when it is done. Hope all is well for yourself. Talk to you soon.

    got to hang out with Fred,
    saw lots of HAMBers
    drug a few things home I might use.. someday
    sold one or two small things, paid for my ticket in anyway

    left the meet for a few minutes to unload a fresh 303 Olds at my house

    and drove the roadster home in the rain
    getting totally soaked

    pretty good fun for a Saturday
