Event Coverage Attn MINN.. Hambers roadster swap

Sorry I didn't see the memo......I drove my Roadster up and back without the top this year. It was "REALLY FRICKEN COLD" when I left at 5am, "FRICKEN COLD" halfway there (I had to stop and get a cup of coffee) and just "COLD" when I got there. My first purchase was wrench to tighten a tailpipe bolt, and some house wire to wire up my exhaust when the stress cracked the muffler.

I did find a really cool Fireside heater made by Firestone. It's cover looks like a grill shell with three louvers...Will look cool restored and will give me some heat for next years trip!

 

I had a great time. Thanks paperdog for the free gift. They came in handy later on. lol I got a few items. I wish I could have brought home the model As that Tuck and ***us had, but I cant have them all. Thanks to ***us and Stich for a great sunday afternoon/evening. It was kool hanging out with them, Marcy and Stacy.

 

No visit to Paperdog, probably walked right by you but had my nose to the ground trying to sniff out bargains! And I hung around the swap space while my cohorts went shopping.

We were on the east end of the swap with a great view of Snelling and all the cars that were coming and going. My brother in law saw your Buick wagon heading north on Snelling about 7 AM or so?? He says to me, "Hey, check that one out"! I think he liked it. I told him I was pretty sure I knew who owned it, even though I've never met you personally. But one of these years...

Was yours the dark green hiboy parked in the lot on the north end? If it was, I wasted a lot of valuable parts-shopping time drooling over it. When I grow up I want a car just like that!

We didn't sell much this year but then again I didn't have much to sell - I've cleaned out a lot of my older stuff. I did find a pair of wheels and an exhaust manifold I'd been looking for so the parts shopping was good.

 

Hahaha...Thank you for solving something for me.

 

forgot to mention thet i sold a bag of plastic hen and drake mallard decoys he said some looked cracked
i gave him a partial roll of duct tape and said that shoul cover it

 

Yep the green one....Thanks

 

I had a good time too, met up with a few hambers and shot the ****, sold my buddies 28/9 roadster i brought to the swap(sold it to a hamb lurker,chime i any time!), sold off some other junk i didnt need anymore too. bought a few bits too, a couple of flathead intakes, a 40's lincoln steering wheel, and a stelling and hellings air cleaner and some really nice bumpers for my dads 35 3 window.

Stickshift, you know your welcome over anytime, always have a good time hangin out with you and razin ya too, working on the tudor yet??

till next year.

I bought this. Don't know why...

 

It was great to see you.

We lucked out with great weather, this swap is always the best. Great people and great finds.
