Went to Fitchburg Early V8 show. First time in 4 years.Great first show of the season. Am always on the lookout for 39 Ford parts for my long dormant dump truck. Gotta make some progress this year. Don't need a grill but if I did there was a really nice one that appeared as new for $600. Lots better and less expensive that what I've seen lately on Ebay. At least 3 35 Ford grills. All nice. Didn't check the prices. Seems like parts price trends are up but these regional shows always yield some surprises. Didn't see Joe's Antique Auto trailer. Maybe they were at Epping? Had a list of small parts that I needed. Oh well, Uxbridge is only 50 miles from home. Will be a nice day destination. Oh one other thing, lots of empty swap spaces. Is that a trend?
