Could be interesting, I don't think I've ever heard of a cruise-in turning into a show and swap.
Me either...........we'll see how this turns out.

Yeah...... seems like it would be a tough sell....... But a great idea.....!
I like to see a "parts cruise in".... No cars, just some parts to sell, swap of just show off. Maybe an award for "best deal".
I'm thinking the only C-Body part that I'll find is an 1157 light bulb. LOL!

I wonder how many vendors will be there selling selling fluresant tie-wraps, packages of electrical terminals, and Cal-tech chinese tools.

I think that there were be a majority of Chevy parts, followed by Ford stuff, and very little Mopar stuff. And the other 50% of everything will be the same useless garbage you see at Carlisle and other shows........rusty parts that are unusable, tables full of rusty headers, QJ's, TQ's, Offenhauser intakes, etc. that have a ton of dirt on and in them and haven't had gas in them since 1967.

HUmmmmmm.. We must be attending the same swap meets....LOL.
Searching for mopar stuff is fun because we can get all excided about finding a part for a car we don't even have. Chevy guys don't get this....!

The Corvette mid-life crises guys will be there too busy polishing their cars to even see the vendor tables.
I get excited about finding Mopar NOS parts that are sealed in the package and trying to figure out if it's something I can use. That Parts Manual (small investment) is worth it weight in gold now!!!!

Like such generic swap meets as well, modern form of hunting and collecting. We have one around here and if you go to the most remote spots where there's all mud when it rains cause the concrete area of the place ends at some point, that's where you can occasionally dig out the good, cheap rare stuff if you really bend over and search every spot.

I don't like the 50/50 chance that it may be the right part.......I'll reference the PM first. I always have a cheat sheet of part number with me at car shows so I don't have to run to the car and check a PN in the PM.

well thats impossible.........I used to carry a list of parts and numbers of stuff that myself or Canadian brethren were looking for but to have ONE sheet of random numbers is virtually useless..
I know what I need!
