Southwest Swap Meet This Weekend

Any body going to the swap meet in arlington this weekend? Is the wheather supposed to be bad? Someone said it was, but I"m going anyway. Who else???

 

looks like friday will be nice, but 60% chance of rain all weekend. i hope it holds out for us, i need some damn parts.

 

I am!!

 

Be there rain or shine. Been getting ready for it all week. Dont know where my spaces are right now. I moved since I paid for them and they got returned so I will have to pick them up the the registration table. Look for the blue awning with the "AUTOMOTIVE INSULATION" banner.

 

sounds like Saturday afternoon will be ugly .. High winds and rain
but, I'll be there till it gets bad out

 

crack o dawn saturday - need an ac evap and an r4 compressor.

 

From the way people were talking out there yesterday, Sat might be bad and everyone is thinking of moving out tonight. Damn media has everyone shitting in their pants. This is Texas, the wheater can change in a blink of a eye.

 

Aw come on I evacuated to Dallas from a low lying area of Houston. It really shouldnt be THAT bad here. The swap meet was going to keep me entertained while I was here.

 

did this get cancelled ?

 

I was there around noon today and it was pretty good.

 

where is it at ?

 

http://www.southwestswapmeet.com/ all you need to know

 

I went there today and there was nothing in parking lot ?

 

I spoke with someone earlier that was there this afternoon and goin back in the AM so its on.

 

I drove right by the Ballpark .. and, seen nothing

 

Not at the ballpark. It is in the Six Flags parking lot.

 

its there, i promise

 

Well, it must be allot smaller than years past ? Typically it fills all the lots
so, If the weather is not awful, I'll run back to town tomorrow and look again ..but

 

Very small, I walked through in a couple of hours. If all spaces are filled it might take four.

 

Wow.. well, I looked on the south side so ..maybe I should of looked on north side ?

And, if the weather turns to poo, like it sounds like it will .. I guess I'll work on my wagon tomorrow in the garage

And drink cold beer and listen to James Mcmurtry

 

I was there all day today. It was a fair day sales wise and I was there by myself but still got to scout around and find a few bargains. Its much smaller than years past but still a good meet. It filled up pretty good today and there weren't too many packing up that I saw. I'll be back about 8 AM tomorrow and stay as long as the weather will allow.

 

What side of the place is it ?

 

Its in the parking lot just west of six flags on Road to Six flags.

I'm on row 49 space 316. Stop by if you can find it.

 

I went yesterday. The stupidest thing I saw was a 66 Chevelle steering column. Floor shift, tilt, supposedly rebuilt. The paint was way too flat and no steering wheel. Asked about a price, $1300 !!! Stupid Stupid. A good way to ruin the hobby for the ordinary man that can't spend that kind of money for something a simple as a steering column. I'd buy an aftermarket first.

 

Ive run into these types putting mine together i.e. 4spd consoles SHIT$$. The stuff is going the way of the Corvette resto prices which will run off the real enthusiast!!

 

anybody gonna be there tomorrow?

 

i managed to get out there todaym at the crack of dawn..pretty depressing really, a smaller parking lot, and only 1/4 full. but still scored a set of plates, and a bomber o2 tank. might try to make it back out tomorrow, passed on a set of 72 vette seats, and need to see if they are still there.

 

well went back out this morning. but i guess after yesterdays weather almost everyone had packed up and gone home..maybe 15-20 vendors left. but did get lucky and found a good pair of 66 mustang seats for the ranchero, so not a total loss. but still very depressing considering the size of years past
