    I'm planning to be there. Not really looking for anything, just need a swap meet fix.

    For years I drove from Portland to Puyallap to sell, ended up being chased out by little old ladies selling teacups and saucers. More of them than there were car parts guys (or gals). Haven't heard that it's changed in the last ten years.

    todays swap was ok,

    I scored on a couple items but spent so much time walking around I didn't sell anythig! hahaha

    good to have Racefab to walk and shop with too,
    I know nothing about SBCs so his advice may have (deffinately) saved me some serious coin,
    thanks Fred!

    he got the deal of the day though,
    a frickin' Walker radiator for his A for... lunch money!!!

    It wasn't very good for old Ford parts but yesterday I scored a complete set (4) of 40 ford brakes for $80, rebuilt too. His son was going to street rod his coupe. Good day!

    cool, that's an awsome deal

    I went back today and picked up a pieced together dual quad setup for an sbc
    and a complete numbers matching 1968 big block chev tri power setup (no air cleaner) for $1,600.00

    I know it aint chump change but it's an ok deal in my book..
