    I went last year and almost got killed in the snow/ice storm on the way home lol. driving the truck I just bought two weeks prior, had a 18 year old girl come spinning down a hill at me! luckily the girl stopped in the ditch without incident and we all made it out of there no harm no foul.

    Well i am planning on going. But who knows what the New England weather will be and the price of gas. I do need some inspirtion after a long winter to keep my 32 Hudson coupe vision alive . I have not been there the last 2 years. The airport swap meet is cool and the airport reminds of the Sanford Drags 42 years ago which ran on the open runway. No jersey barriers and not much for fences. I am down with a back strain this week so Stafford Springs is not looking so good for me .

    I must be nuts to get up at 3AM but I'll be there with the boys from Early Ford V8.
     
  25. Usually a good meet. More antique sheetmetal per row than most any swap meet these days.

    But....I'll be at the Inspection Day at the CSRA clubhouse in Wallingford CT.

    BTW - the weatherman just said sunny and 64!

    my father and I noticed it there too! nice RP Cball! Only went away with a couple things but if I had the need and was a packrat I should have come away with more. I picked up a nice 35-36 rear crossmember to put in my brothers car and a set of 40 pedals. I could have had a F100 box for $40 and a 39 shift tower (nice one too) for $40 as well. like an idiot I p***ed on both!
