Garage Days Swap Meet (Chicago) April 20

Haven't loaded up yet...(fenders, hoods, bumpers, doors & extra trim) mostly 49-52 GM parts.
I'm planning a vist to the yards the weekend before...So, I might have a few more pre-war stuff?!

Is there ANYTHING happening Saturday night???

 

Chicagorockabilly.com says Suzy Brack & The New Jack Lords @ The Spot in
Chicago, but I don't know who that is. I'll have to ask around.

 

Loading up the trailor tomorrow...
See you guys/gals next weekend?!

 

Looking forward to it John!

 

What time does the swap open??? I will probably stop by.

 

I took apart the Model A this weekend and will have lots of goodies. You can count on seeing a Model A truck grill shell, a 32 radiator, drums and backing plates (front and rear), front and rear buggy springs, dropped axle with spindles, split A bones (front and rear), banjo rear end with open drive conversion (may or may not actually be there but is for sale), headlights, various mounts (headlights, upper and lower front shocks, upper rear shocks), steering columns, F100 box, red wire wheels with wide whites (trim rings and hubcaps included), cut down S10 seat, and whatever else I can fit in the car.

Looking forward to it!

 

Can one of you guys post directions to HRC&C? I will be coming from south/west of Chicago (I-80 East to I-55 North).

 

Very cool Lil Pete.

Anybody know anyone from Michigan that's coming to this swap? I'm looking to do a relay on some tires. I'll help pay for some gas or something. Thanks

I was hoping that Levis-Classic would be making the pilgramage. Send him a pm.

And it's only a mile from Lake & Addison to Factory Road.

Anyone coming from North Ave. on Addison, Factory is the FIRST stop light you come to going north on Addison Rd. Make a LEFT and we're three buildings up on the LEFT. I'm sure you'll be able to find the shop. It'll be the one with all the parts in the lawn.

 

Anyone have a '86-90something junk sportster rear wheel? I need a hub.

Also need a junk (or empty) sporty motor for mockup. (Evo) Even if it's just to borrow for a month or so.

 

what time dose this go till? im goin to wisconsin to pick up a car, wouldn't mind stoppin by on the way back...

 

When are you picking up the car? It starts at 8 and is usually packed up by 3pm.

 

we r gonna leave some time in the morning, it's only a 2 n a half hour ride, i do belive we'll have plenty of time to stop by...

 

Cool, see you then.

 

Anyone bringing a nice '40 Ford hood?

We just took out a GM 10 bolt out of a '36 Buick, and it will be for sale at Garage Days.

 

BTTT
Let's see I'm going to bring 1950's Fender skirts for?? and Hubcaps from the 1950's , gauges,steering wheels, QC,Hemi and some flathead goodies. Also some other goodies toss them into a pile and then pull some out, then add some, then??!! HA HA HA..

 

John,

I'll see you there. Want to talk 32's with you

Matt

 

It's just not a swap meet unless John shows up!

BTW, we'll be grilling dogs and burgers.

 

Kevin has been rounding up a few things from the shop to sell. I have a '58 chevy decklid for sale too.

 

I might try to make it out. I would for sure if Chad would take my quiz for my marketing class. lol

 

Hey, I can help you with your quiz. Actually, I gave a lecture to 17 graphic design majors yesterday who were in chicago for the weekend, from Freedonia NY.

 

Tomorrow!!!!!

 

New to rods making the trip up , hopefully find a few bits .

 

I'll be there around 10:00. I don't have a space, but I'll have a really really nice Lucas distributor for a Ford flathead with me in the truck if anyone's interested??? It's got an NOS never used cap on it and it's set up and ready to bolt on and run

Matt

 

Neat little event you got going there. I'll certainly be back. Didn't even know you existed until about a year ago & then today was my first visit. I was impressed & also picked up a pair of 31 Ford running board aprons that are in better shape than the ones I was going to use.

Thanks alot.

 

No problem, we're always happy to host an event like this. We were talking after the swap, and I'm pretty sure we're going to have a swap meet at our summer open house the end of August as well.

You couldn't have asked for a more perfect day, and stuff people brought to sell was awesome! Thanks to everyone for making it happen!

 

Thanks guy for hosting the SWAP and folks that brought goodies out to sell. I found some cool things for the hot rods and good to see some freinds I haven't see in awhile!

 

John,

When were you there!!! I missed you, needed to talk to you about the 32 5w project.

Kevin...thanks for the swap and show, you've got a really nice shop there. It was good seeing you again. We'll talk soon.

Matt
