Nice score!

I'm heading to Seekonk Speedway in Ma next Saturday so I'm hoping I'll find something even though I don't need anything!

I saw that sitting on the ground on Thursday. I think it said 40 asking price. I looked at it curiously then walked away.

Small world.

It was marked $45. I looked at it curiously too and was about to walk away and the seller walked by and said I'll give it to you for$25. When I went to go retrieve my kids from the other side of his booth I spotted this two tier aluminum wing. Marked $65, I offered $20 and we settled at $35. It might go on the Datsun challenge car, or it might not.

Lots of other stuff, but this is too cool. 1969/70 Western Flyer "The Wild One". Original, with a missing spoke and in need of TLC but just a beaut. Pate Swap Meet Texas!

I would be interested in helping you profit on the wing if you don't use it, my 2018 build could use one

Nice scores! I checked out the Spring Carlisle show last weekend and scored a 2.5" x pipe and a crap ton of little odds and ends and shop supplies.

Original 29-31 Model A pickup bed with working tailgate for $175. Unfortunately it's too pricey to put on the Rice Rod for the Challenge. Call it a post-Challenge plan.

I'm gearing up for the biggest meet in the area that's coming up in a few weeks in Mansfield, MA.

I hit this one up every year. I've done a couple stories on it.

Here's last year's story

And the year before that

This year, my trusty Radio Flyer All Terrain Wagon is getting an upgrade!

That's right... a trailer for my wagon!!!

Last year, some of the "natives" were getting surly, so I'm not sure if I'll do a story. We'll see.

I scored a Syclone/Typhoon water/air intercooler for $60, not sure what it will go on.

Also part of a Crown draw-through turbo kit for a 240Z which the seller just let me have for free because I asked about it.

You'll need to log in to post.
