Yep I'll be there. Toying with throwing my '63 Uni in it for a big price, which if I get will help finish the Merc. But the wife and kids are fighting me

Not real sure if I'll be there Fri Night or Sat AM given the circumstances

No, LOL i don't need a Fairlane, I actually have plans for the uni too, once the Merc is done. but the drain on the kid's college fund is a big one this year, what with big body work bills and plans to head to Pa. for Slickstock.

Still undecided if I will put it in, could sure use a bag 'o cash LOL
Maybe see ya round there Cody


Also, keep an eye out at the DT Mustang or whatever Iron place he calls himself now booth.(from Warner) My buddy's bucket seats for his '67 Ranger will be on display there. Red and silver. Supposed to be really sweet.

I couldn't find a small block intake there to save my life. Had a couple people take my number off the tag, never got a call tho.

All I bought was a $20 radio to fill the hole in the uni.
My buddy found a unibody bumper right across from DT's booth there.

Glad you got some good stuff
John

See you guys in May for the Red Deer Swap Meet

The people at swap meets with small block intakes know that they are worth.
If you find an original one in the bargain finder for $250.00...buy it because it won;t be much cheaper at a swap meet unless it is a GM or Mopar guy that has it.
The cheapest I seen one go for was $200.00.

Here we go with the conficting Red Deer dates again.

Just bought a used Weiand 8011 off ebay for a hundred delivered to Sweetgrass for my 302.
The 351 isn't so urgent as I am concentrating in getting the '64 Merc on the road this year, the 351 is in the unibody and it runs ok with the 2 bbl for now.

The dates are conflicting.
The NAMES are conflicting.

The Best well known swap meet EVERY YEAR on the first weekend of MAY is hosted by ONE Car club.

The Swap meet in March is hosted by another.

The Local Mopar club hosts about 4 swap meets a year in Red Deer.

I have posted the date of the MAIN/well known swap meet in another thread here.
