Good day at the swap meet

Got the following buys today:

1. Complete set of glass all the way around from Vintage Glass who was there $400
2. Correct F100 side hood emblems, decent driver shape $10
3. Body work hammer kit $20
4. Chrome alternator fan and pulley w/ nut $10
5. 1940 Packard swan hood ornament $5 just cause I like hood ornaments
6. NIB Lokar column shifter adjustable linkage $42

Swap meet at LaGrave field in Fort Worth still on tomorrow for anyone local. Was a good turnout, quite a few vendors.

Had a bead on a 9inch locker but seller wouldn't come off $350 and it looked a little rough.

Tomorrow is the first swapmeet of the year. It's held by the local Model A club so mostly Model A and the rest late model GM stuff. I know I won't find anything but after four freezing months stuck inside any swapmeet is a good swapmeet.

Ditto my brother. There is one here next Sunday in Nashville. Wish I could make it down to the big one in Moultrie, GA. It is 400 miles one way. WIll make the big one in Louisville in March though.
