I attended the Bakersfield swap meet on Friday and Saturday. Attendance and vendors were down just a little from past years. Weather was predicted to be a little morning rain for each day but it never happened. Instead, I got a bit of a sun burn on my fore arms. Model A parts were very affordable. One fellow had a 1930 model A gas tank that had been dipped/stripped clean inside and out and it looked straight. I almost bought it for only $50 but I didn't because I didn't need it. I didn't think that it could have been dipped/stripped for that little of money. A lot of good A sheet metal was available, mostly model A fenders.
