Event Coverage Monroe Swap Meet,this weekend who going?

It wasn't worth it

 

Anyone here buy the 3K rolling 32 frame?

 

Wanted to, but didn't pull the trigger.

 

Got a cam and lifter for my 302, a tackle box (soon to be flaked kandied and striped for a Pinstriping case), and a wicked ra**** eyed sun burn.

 

Any 35 / 36 sheetmetal out there?

 

I really wanted the 29 Phaeton in the very far corner. Not a bad price either!

 

didn't really need anything but I hate to miss a good meet

I did pick up a pair of '65 Mustang seats for the 60's Style Coupe
and a remote oil filter canister from an Olds straight 8 for the Roadster

perfect weather, saw a few friends and aquaintances and walked about four hours
all in all a pretty good day

 

There was alot of rusty 35-36 parts and at least 4 fibergl*** fenders, a few over priced grills. A nice complete front suspension with Juice brakes, axle, spring, wishbones and wheels for $150, not much in the geat sheet metal stuff but lots of trinket 35,36 items.

 

I should have bought the 36 dash waterfall......now kicking myself.

 

Saw that!, the 32 5w was killer. Only $26,000
I did get killer deal on some tto americans

 

body seemed okay, except for the firewall. but the frame was hacked.

 

The frame was scary, and what was up with the fire wall ? I was think that the frame was holding people back on it (maybe the price also ?)

 

Here's what I scored. Got a few more things today at give away prices.




From this.................to this!!!!!!!!!







Is this why I am not getting as much work on my car that I want to? Oh look a rusty object................. 4 hours later .........Look a shiney object!!!

Picked up a 1950 Ford front grill that was rusting today. I picked up a few cans of paint and gave a quick sand blast and paint job to hang on the barn wall. 1 hr and I have some color.







Then I had to have this to keep my liquids cool!!!



On the way to the Monroe swap meet, we missed the exit to get onto Hwy 9. We had to turn around and turned into a driveway that was having an estate sale. Low and behold they had a Packard in the driveway for sale. That got our attention!! Anyway they are selling the Packard cheap but I can't take on another car for any cost. I would think $3,000 would buy it. But anyway I found this killer grinder that is a 13 amp 1 hp 10" grinder. This thing spooled up and it was whisper quiet. How about $50 for the 250 lb grinder. The cover for the stones are made out of pressed 3/8 steel plate and it has a 1/2" steel plate on the base!!! Look at the tubes on the back for discharging any grinding material!!! I think I scored!!!! I have cursed my POS grinder every time I used it in the last 20 as it was gutless. Well this is a huge step up!!! Oh and it also came with 4 new( old) stones. Anyway we left for the Monroe swap meet and right beside our booth the people have a very good looking set of 1936 rims tires and beauty rims. The rims and trim look like new and they are fully balanced. The tires look new also but were on the car and driven just a few miles. These were $325 with the adapters!!!!!! Just a month ago I was talking to my brother telling him my 1936 really needs wide whites and I wish that the previous owner didn't install the newer hubs and rear as I LOVE the 1936 rims!!! Thats when we were discussing the possibility of an adapter from the wide 5s to the more modern 4 1/2"on 5s. I actually didn't know they made them. But low and behold, I got everything I wanted right beside our booth!!!!! The cool thing is that we bought them from this 80ish year old woman from Canada that owns a 1936 Ford with all more modern running gear and she new her stuff!!!She said she had a two car garage with her 36s on one side and her driver on the other side!!! Anyway, glad she is still into cars and that she sold me the stuff I wanted for my car!!!!!! The swap meet officially doesn't open till tomorrow!!!
