Default Carlisle

so I attended Carlisle today and scored a few nice pieces. Was great to get out and about and chat with the guys there.


I wont get into the politics or mask thing, but everyone seemed to be having a good time and the spots were a little over half full. I would suspect tomorrow another 15-20% of the people to be rolling in. some people had there stuff there, but hadnt even set up yet.


I found a freshly older rechromed bumper for my 31 roadster, a nice set of headlights and bar for the same and an after mkt horn.
Picked up 5 rad/gas caps and think 2 are eatons. will check them out further.......



I did see an aristocrat dash, and it intrigued me, because of the thread that was written on it about a month back here. this looked like a repro and not of the highest quality, so I let it go.


some great tires and whls there, that I passed on. I did meet a fella from Harrisburg at 7am and bought a 52 ford truck bed, fenders and runningbds from him. It was all together and almost didnt fit in my 5.75 bed from my f150.
I miss my old 8' beds. so much more practical!


A fun day and glad to get out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was there Thursday and Friday. What a difference 1 year makes. 2019 the place was dead. This year was great! Loads of sheet metal, I picked up 2 new 700x20 tires for $20.00 each. I even found a Simmons carb for a model A. I hit the Eastwood booth for some supplies.
Today I hit the Swap meet at the Eastern race car museum,tires,doors,wheels.
Tuesday will be the Pre War swap meet at Luray.
Drove past Hershey for the heck of it.

Nice Wick! I was actually contemplating going back for some more buys.........


but time ran out. Glad they held it and that I got to go.


already "flipped" the ford bed for a tidy profit and to build up the "parts fund".


new bumper is on the roadster and looks great! sure beats a painted one.


having fun!
