Well, it hasn't rained all damn summer and wouldn't you know it, the forecast for Saturday....... rain! Happens every year. Who plans on going to the CR Swap 10/13? My buddy IowaMercMan wanted to go last week, but I told him no one would probably be there! If you see me in my Outsiders jacket, say hi.
Im going sunday looking for a 38 inch drive shaft measured from the center of each u joint, and of course looking for everything else even if i dont need it.
Love to go but going to Ames for the ISU K State game instead. Someone please get back with pics and a report.
That's me and my brother selling snow-covered shtuff back there just to the right of the Dodge truck!

Is the snowy photo from April, 2011? I was there. If memory serves me correctly, the spring swap meet was even in March at times. Does that sound right? Either way, I have been there for multiple snows.
just got home , was at the gates waiting in line w it raining ! got in and it wasnt too bad although right away you could tell vendors were down due to the weather , made it around and to the track and haggled on a set of low milage buick 45 fin drums complete w guts and backing plates off a super low milage 64 being made to a street rod and put discs on ! after lugging those damn heavy things out to the lot i came back in and ran into some felow hambers then decided i was wet enough
Yes, April 16 2011, didn't get as wet then as I did today though. And yes always was in March till a few years ago, if my memory is serving me correctly.
Got it! Bought a vending space and stayed until 9:00 when I too was far too wet and cold to continue.
Even staying only two hours I was able to find a nice 40 standard headlight door, vintage aircraft seatbelt, a big bunch of early Ford spring clamps, and a nice T windshield frame. Never been so wet there before, and the vendors were WAY down.
never miss it, bought a crietz 2x4 intake , a 65 gto Hurst shifter, a moon tank, a new in the box thrush muffler and a snap on tire Scriber used for checking toe in. Vendors were way down, but it was still a good event
Just got back home, found a high rise intake for a 2.8 v6, set of new headers for sbc and some small chrome parts, and very wet but was still fun!
Did you buy 3-4 sets of Ford spring clamps? If so, you bought them from me on the backstretch of the intermediate track.
