Pictures from Pate

There was some nice old slicks for sale EARLY Thursday morning

 

This 1950 Flxible bus was converted to camping out.

 

the bus would be cool but,

I want those red/white slicks!!

Paul

 

I luke the slicks. How much were they going for?

 

I want the rims the slicks are on!

 

$325 I liked the rims too.

 

Rough and ready

 

Those slicks were at David Guymon's booth...he wanted $100 for that other pair.

Not a LOT of good stuff this year, I picked up a '57 Chevy truck guage cluster, some bullet lug nuts, a couple models the latest Hop-Up, and a mild sunburn.

What did the rest of you get?

 

I just got some headders that should work for the 57. They are deep in reverse electrolysis water now. See how this works out.

 

I found a pair of NEW tires and tubes for Cushman motorscooter. There was a piece of tape on one-$15 I asked why they were selling so cheap, thinking there must be something wrong with them. He responded, "Is that too cheap?" so I whipped out $30 real quick and paid for both of them. These are $60 EACH plus tubes. I walked away amazed at the deal. It was only later I realized he was asking $15 for BOTH........

 

I get a kick out of the destination plate on that bus....RAPID CITY, wheres that?

 

My Flxible bus says Pikes Peak

 

I should have known Guyman had those wheels and slicks. he always has cool stuff.

 

i heard him tell somebody 225 early thursday.. if they had been a ford pattern, i would got em!! they did cause quite a stir. there was always somebody checkin' 'em out.
they musta had a great sale on sunburns, i got one too!!

 

I bought and OLD set Dietz headlights for $4.
Mid 30's Chevy speedometer $2 (and it WORKS!).
Set of 49-52ish Chevy (pretty nice) beauty rings $12.
One wheel of the 55-60 Chevy truck vintage $3.

2 burgers, 2 bags of chips, and 2 Cokes for my female unit and myself from one of the food vendors out there..... TWENTY FRIGGIN' DOLLARS!!!!

 

old truck

 

does any one know this guys phone number I would like to buy those slicks if he still hasum. thanks drew

 

The nice slicks sold early. The others were still there Friday. One was worn a lot more than the other.

 

I got a complete set of 50 merc window molding for $50.00 and a set of 50 merc skirts for $75.00. Saved money because b*** nor TZ came and ate this time. Bought a couple of the chopped ratrod mercs in primer for inspiration.

 

I don't know what is going on but I saw several sets of window moldings for mercs...is there that many of them in the great beyond now or do you not need them when you put in tweed interiors with digital dashes?

I don't know if it was just me but I really was kinda bummed with Pate this year...I bought a couple of magazines and a goofy drink in a tiki cup.

I looked way studly with a my tiki cup sipping on my orange mango banana smoothy!

(yes, you may worship me)

 

I need the window moldings so when I chop the car I'll have an extra set to screw up. I saw a few sets also.Grills like the one in your merc were plentiful also. A little pricey but available.Saw the nicest set of clipper tailites I've seen in a while. They sold for $750.00. Also got extra merc door handles and a door lock with a key for 15 bucks

 

abomber, David is a friend of mine and lives real close I'll go by tomorrow to see if he still has them.

 

Well I didn't read down enough sorry.

 

I never did see you TP. We bought a rusty 50 Ford coupe with no back window. Was your space near it?

 

Got some wheel cylinders for my Model a new in a box for $9.61. I felt like I stole them from the old man. Door patch panel, rear quarter patch panel , and one 32 patch panel new in plastic for 45.00. Did not really need but what the heck for a price like that. Pops got some sweet lights with the blinkers on top, 2 rebuilt 94's and a handfull of piddly stuff.

 

I used to sleep in a '47 Flx on race weekends. Cool bus.
