    Want to get an idea how many we have coming- I can probably put some stuff up on the HAMB so we have a few "virtual" swap buyers as well. Let me know. Thanks Jim

    Read below- FREE Vending, FREE to Spectators, FREE Live Music!

    Reposting info-

    Well, I got Ryan's full THUMBS UP on the use of the name "HAMB Swap" for the parking lot swap meet at my shop to begin May 17th at 8AM at SO-CAL Speed Shop Los Angeles, 517 Figueroa, Wilmington, CA 90744. I'm sure we have enough space for at least 40 vendors if we limit it to what you want to carry in and occupy a 10x10 space (fold up table and/or a blanket with parts- no gigantic displays or vehicles will be driven in). NO truckloads of parts and/or multiple spaces filled with unrelated stuff. Vintage car parts/hot rod parts and related items ONLY! No new stuff unless pre-approved in advance (new clothing items & magazines may be in exception if discussed). Spaces will be pre-registered for FREE..

    PLENTY of easy walk-up parking for spectators and hot rods in front of the shop. Safe wide street where you can see a half mile in either direction- don't worry that your car or truck will be on some side street where no one can see it (and damage it).

    ALSO- we will have live music at 10AM for those looking to make a morning of it- then we will cruise over to Ricky & Ronnie's for lunch (cool location nearby, a car place with plenty of parking & great food.)

    Thanks Jim

    OK- I just changed the price of vendor spaces to FREE! (need to get this thing rolling) Would like to have at least 20 pre-reg'd so we know there is something other than our stuff to come and see. Let me know too if you plan on just coming to hang out- bring out your cool rides and see you there! Thanks Jim

    It's cool man- not looking for guys to dump tons of stuff, just bring a few leftover pieces form the garage- hang out for a little while and still have the rest of the day left to do whatever you want! Thanks Jim

    Like I said before- there is NOT a So-Cal weekend that does NOT have multiple events going on. No problem, Jim

  17. Hey Jim, so do the proceeds go to the HAMB??? I have some old parts I'd like to get rid off, so put me down as a vendor.
    Thanks, Chris

    Hello Jim,

    I'll be there to sell some of my " Stuff" that's been sitting in my shop and yard. I'm in.

    Thanks, Charlie

    No, you keep your money for what you sell- I was going to give a portion of the money I took in for spaces to the HAMB- but after NO ONE raised their hand as a vendor I changed the vending price to FREE! I will figure a way to give back- like if you vend maybe you can donate an unsold part to a HAMB auction. Sound good? Thanks Jim

    If you don't sell your stuff that morning- I'll sell it for you- or ANYBODY else- in my shop in my consignment area- or let me auction it on "the site" and turn your dust collectors into cash. Has been working for others because you name your prioce and we get that or MORE. Thanks Jim

    I'm gonna be out of town, but I am already moving stuff to the other side of the garage to take next time. Is the plan for car parts only? I've got some vintage Ford stamped tools and a few other items as well...just asking.
