I cant beleive it is on pavemnt now. Remeber the good old days walking that damm field! I remeber my dad making me carry a 55 Chevy Bel Air hood all day. New guys dont know how easy they got it out there now. I will be missing the event this year due to surgery but thanks for the offer

 

I might have opened my big mouth to soon. I was thinking of the one in Dallas

 

Hey Terry will be there Friday & Saturday, will try to look you up. Went to Del Mar Sunday sold stuff to have money to spend @ Pate.
Jeez, Pate is like a freakin city, you have your own address!!

 

I'm gonna walk over to TMS, Friday morning.

 

Hey TP
I'll be out Friday, keep the Fajita's hot.

Me and Dirty2 will be set up Saturday and Sunday. Gonna get our space numbers today. When I get them I will let everyone know.

 

We Are Going To Cruise Up There Sat. Maby Someone Will Cut Me A Deal On Something I Really Dont Need. I've Got Some Wheels That Could Really Use A Car To Put Them On.

 

I'll be there Saturday for sure, not sure how early. Be sure and post up any smokin' deals you guys know about! Is it starting on Thursday?

 

All are welcome. We take stuff to sell but mostly go to bullshit. This is my 27 year in a row. Me and all my old friends from home meet there. They are from canada to east coast and in between. Bellm look me up. Leaving in a few minutes. TP

 

Spaces 906 and 908, Block 71, 5th and Rutherford.

Stop on by, LEAVE me a beer, and buy my junk!!

Waiting in line I spotted a badass Austin Gasser (like Mazmanians) on a trailer, in grey primer. Didn't catch the price, but it'd make a great HAMB drags car...

 

I'm leaving tomorrow, so I'll see you guys there.

 

ok I may seem liek an idiot ... but where is this at??? I am driving up to Dallas tomorrow in my Bel air for a car show and if this isnt to far from me I wouldnt mind going to it also.

 

Love Pate!

I will stop by and say high to you guys. I will probably go thursday and maybe friday. All the deals are gone by the weekend usually. See you guys there.

i might sneak out on friday.

 

any good finds on thursday?

 

I got the trailer loaded up and ready to go tomorrow morning. Gonna be taking a rough 32-33 Ford truck cab with one door drivers side(rough) a 33 Ford big truck frame, a 37 Ford Truck Hood, Model a Front crossmember, 34 big truck front crossmember, Some 50 Merc wheels, 34 Truck fenders front and back. A 48 Ford axle, some funky ole wire wheels, and alot of small stuff, shifters, pedals, guages, Model A cowl with decent firewall. Gotta make some money to go to PAso. See yall there.

 

Yep, leaving H-town between 3 and 4 in the morning. Got a laundry list of stuff I need, and a shop full of crap I need to sell. Too bad I'm not taking the stuff the sell to pay for the stuff I need. Quite a conundrum!

See y'all there. If you see a 6' slightly beer gutted almost 30 year old wearing a bleue Mooneyes shirt. That'll be me, hollar. Or if you have a set of Ford Round Spindles F/S, hollar!

Hope the weather cooperates.

On Wednesday, I bought a V8-60 axle, a cool cast aluminum steering wheel that I guess is from a boat, and some other odds and ends.

Thursday I found and bought a pair of Nailhead spark plug covers, and a copy of "Hot Rods of the '60s" by Andy Southard autographed by Bill Cushenberry, Darryl Starbird, Joe Bailon, and a couple others.

Today I bought a new '32 gas tank for my Model A on deuce rails, a pair of '50 Pontiac taillights, some patch panels for my '27 Roadster, a box of over 100 magazines from the early to late 60's, a couple of cool gauges, an unidentified spare tire cover to make a bike fender out of, and some more odds and ends.

I'm going back tomorrow to see if there's anything I missed!

 

I guess I should stay home tomorrow. You got all the good stuff.

Your set on magazines for awhile.

 

Made it back a couple of hours ago. saw bass, honest charlie[sorry about hurting your feelings charlie], Bellm, Phil Husbands[can't remeber his hamb name. We were talking about not knowing some peoples real names]. Hankcask and Jeff,Smitty, crazy Jay,reggie, jimmy vaugh,flt-blk, markx,hudson hawk, Dustyand of course "gasmonkey".Bought a set of 51 merc steel fender skirts,afew books, and ate way too much. Good to see everyone. Markx I'll call you some time this week.I got sun and wind burned too. TP

 

Just put my name(Phil) next to the big ole family vacation wagon.

Don't forget to tell Mark about that plasma cutter.

I had a good time hanging out.

 

I left the scrap of paper I'd written your spot on at home. Sorry missed ya.
I did meet Dirty31, and Rusty32, and El Polaco(sp)? Bought a set of friction kicker shocks from them. They all had their cars up there.
Also saw the Assmonkey crew there. I love that midget's car.
I scored all of a '40 Ford frontend A-bone to juice brakes (including the gennie '40 steelies), and a '34 Chevy grill is perfect shape.
Dad picked up his new windshield for his '65 Rivi from a Minnesota company that hauled it down with them to the show. As well as put in his order for new shoes for the Rivi with Newstalgia. 17" American Salt Flat Specials. They should look pretty sharp, I like the way they kinda look like the GS rims.

Other than that I was overly disappointed with the swap meet! To many garage sales. So much non-auto related crap there. The other thing that pissed me off, was how many spots were taken up for things like Campers & Daily Drivers, like it was a parking lot. Ended up equalling making a guy walk 3x's as far as he'd have to, to see all the goods.

For all the guys that were there, I was the one walking the Wiemeraner (Grey Dog). Mission accomplished on that one, that dog slept all the way back to Houston, and all day on Sunday. She was spent.
