Oh yeah, I'm not a hat guy by any means, but I put $20 for a big straw hat.  I gave up looking thru the swap meet. Just too hot.

I bought a new gas tank, pinion snubber for the Dana, and a new rubber seal that goes on the floor for the automatic tranny linkage. Not much this year. To darn hot to roam around.
Darcy on the other hand .... :roflsmiley:   filled the back of his pickup truck....new seat for his RR , lower control arms for his stock car, spare bumpers for his 71 Charger stock car, and a bunch more?

I found a gauge bezel that I might replace my old one with some after market gauges, a few match box size cars for my son, a lot of good info on stuff for my wifes 2012 R/T, and some polishing pads and cleaning supplies. The heat was hard to deal with at times.  Unfortunately my front accelorator diaphram let loose so I wasn't able to make it back on Sunday.

Pair of sill plates, lug nuts, rear window handle spacers, 2 spring clips, heater hose strap, 3 license plates, 2 T-shirts, and missed out on a 6319S T-Q because I snoozed....

Had a good time, even though the heat was pretty bad this year. but at least it didn't rain and that's a good thing. Also seen a bunch of old racing friends..

364 more days too go..

Oh, and a very cool Sunoco pump....

-Big block bell housing
-Flywhell
-Clutch
-26'' shroud
-Head pipes
-Front & rear bumpers
-Dash pad
-Complete set of 4 -15 X 7 rallye wheels
-Wheel opening mouldings
-L & R chrome mirrors
-Flip top gas cap
-NOS deck lid''Dodge'' nameplate for '71 Challenger

Got me some decklid trim, a blower motor, headliner bows,wiper arms, marker housings,a bunch of
hardware from R/T specialties and a dark farmers tan. All in all, I spent way too much time in the swap area
but had a great time.
If I cant fix it, it's broke
