Default Good finds at last Sunday's Swap meet
Went to our local clubs swap meet we host each year in Norfok, MA. It was this past sunday. my dad and I picked up a few goodies while we were there.

First and best find!



An original radiator. only thing is it is missing a section of fins near the bottom




NOS Bumper clamp bars. Look how straight they are!! gotta love NOS original!




nice Tail light shell that looks like someone tried to paint at sometime.




NOT PICTURED:

NOS ebrake gears (big and small gears)

Cowl light shell and arm for $10!

&

a next to no wear, original anti-rattle with original bolt. for a buck cant complain.


Anyone else on here go to any swap meets recently?

This was the first one of the year for us in MA.

Greatwoods swap meet is next, this May.

Went to the Big Three in San Diego last weekend and found a '31 nice headlight shell for $1, also a perfect (but needs replating) two bulb head light reflector for #1.

April 22nd will be the Early Ford V8 Club of New England swap meet at Fitchburg Airport. Please do not call it a flea market as that has a whole different set of regulations. As long as we call it a swap meet we are ok.

Did not know that. Kind of a hike for me here in Foxborough.

Carpool. Get there early. I am sure several members from your area will be there on a nice day.
