This weekend Feb. 10-11 at the Puyallup Fairgrounds. It would be nice to get together if anyone is planning on attending. I'm sure americanrider, Orence1 and myself will be there. CG...I will bring your dash if you are coming to the show.

I will be there. I cant wait!!!

I can't wait either , i have an outside 10 x 20 in the Blue area , D119 . So i'll be there all weekend , hope i sell something ,lol . I'm looking forward to getting out of this frozen wonderland ( Spokane) . I'll be dragging over some quality junk , so come and say hi.
Later ...................................................... Doug :)

anybody know what time the gates open?

9:30 am on Saturday

I'll be there

Ill be there early. I bought a set of buddy buckets from a guy in Vancouver thats going to bring them up for me. I have made some good finds at the corvette swap meet in years past. You never know what you might find....or not. Would like to meet up somewhere if possible. 425-238-4056 cell # if you find some stuff I really need.....LOL

I'll be there... Shall we try and get together at Doug's (409biscayne) booth around 10am???
Here is a map of the layout.. http://www.corvhp.com/showsitecolor.htm

That sounds good to me......not to early and not to late......I hope the weather is good. :c2:

Works for me , i have a dumb question , is my spot right as you come in at the blue gate ? The blue gate is the main entrance , right ? Close to that restaurant on the corner ? I kinda get turned around when i'm there , lol .
Stilllkn , i have more wheels for ya , if you want 'em .
Later ..................................... 409 :)

if it's the same as the last time i went, there were a few different entrances. they should have signs up telling you where to enter. if you cant drive in at the blue gate, just drive around the perimeter of the fairgrounds till you find a way in!

What day and time are you going? If I cant make it maybe you could give it to Mark and I could grab it at his shop if he is ok with that.

ill be there see you guys there...

Yep, Saturday - check the link in my post for all the info. My cell is 425.922.8770 if you can't find me :) I'll plan on having all the stuff there, so just c'mon by.

Alright, I'll be there Saturday as well, my truck purrs like a kitten now, so I won;t be missing any of the get togethers :-)

Billa, let me know if you'd like me to bring something to the BBQ (soda, chips, buns, whatever) so that your not stuck bringing everything on your own.

I'll be there and will bring your dash CG and leave it with Livrat if that is ok with him and you. It would be nice to have the barbeque in 409's booth like we did in Darrel's booth in Monroe a couple of years ago. I am not sure they will allow that at Puyallup...since access is more restrictive. Doug could check the rules in his sign-up package. At Monroe they state no alcohol etc., etc. but don't police it and don't get rowdy. Puyallup is a little tighter and it also depends upon who is holding the event.

Doug, If you have any that have 4.75" backspacing, bring them along...they will match my Firestone's perfectly and I won't have to cut the centers out and move them.

I would like to vote for a later meeting (say 1:00PM) at 409's booth since everyone will want to shop for the good deals early and meet later...otherwise we may not have that many show up. Just a thought.

Makes sense - I'll step out of the parking lot BBQ thing and just count on showing up at the booth around 1. :) So we make sure everyone catches this, 12:30 BBQ is cancelled

Sorry
Been busy rewiring my trailer so i can come over , dang de-icer they put on the roads , sure tough on trailers , lol . I'll be heading over tomorrow , see ya all Saturday.
Later .............................................. Doug :)

Bill, I don't want to kill the barbeque idea since I love them at the swap meets. Can we do it in 409's booth? I would be glad to help...it might even generate some extra business for him...LOL!

Shop first.....bring treasures back to booth.....eat....swap stories.....
I love it when a plan comes together. See YA!

oh yea, if you find a $10 set of tow hooks you have to buy the beer.:alc:
MAN-LAW!

I don't think I will be able to make it this time around. I really wish I could but I am scheduled to work Saturday morning and have a ton of stuff to do for school this weekend. I am going to try and make it to the swap meet next weekend.

No worries; gut is that it's too short lead time to make sure the swap meet Naz...I mean, that a BBQ would be allowed in the booth. :)

Hello from the new guy on the block... I am really pleased to see some local members of the forum- was starting to think everyone lives the other side of the U.S.
I am going with a co-worker, but will try to find your BBQ Saturday and stop by and introduce myself for a couple minutes.
Rider, again, thanks for the invite!
Dave

Looks like I will be able to make it. See ya all there.

So darned sorry that I could not make...got "wrapped around the axle" with projects today. I have to leave at 6:00AM tomorrow for Baltimore and had no time for anything other than already scheduled projects. BIG BUMMER!!!!! I can't even make the Early Bird next weekend since the wife is dragging me to wine country for her annual trip. I think she does this on purpose!

Came home with lots of treasures....I bought a buddy bucket seat and a generator for the house. Awesome finds!! My buddy bought a parachute and a fire system for his vette. Lots of stuff there to satify most everyone.

Had a great time. Just a little gathering at 1PM Saturday. 6 members - Pickmup, Old Iron, Liverat, American Rider, 409, and myself. I didn't get out of my booth very much so I missed seeing the buddy seats. Who had those and how much? I missed by 5 minutes an NOS 67/68 park light lens with box for $5.00:whine: . Anybody else find any treasures or miss any?

A young kid(probably 30 or so) had a great 71 Suburban with a 68 front nose for sale at 8grand IIRC. Very clean with just the right stance. He said it was very solid mechanically - jump in and drive to Florida or more at any time. Nice rig.

There were other nice trucks for sale but that was my favorite.

Looking forward to the Early Bird meet this coming weekend.

Dang, wish I wasn't stuck in spokane at college, I woulda been allover that meet. Had tons of fun last year at it and ended up comin home w/ a 12 bolt posi. Which ended up gettin messed up before it got to the truck so now I'm in need of another one, too bad couldn't get to the meet, that woulda been a great time to find one... Hopefully I'll make it to some of teh meets this summer w/ my 66 after I finish the work. Have fun at the earlybird next week

Had a good time but did not come home with much. Here are a couple of shots of trucks that were for sale there.

Hey guys. I was at the swap yesterday. I had wanted to meet some of you at 409s booth but I had the wrong booth. I went to D116 and of course they knew nothing. I just checked again and it was D119, Huhh. I did pick up several things for the 68 and my wifes mustang. I was surprised at how large it was and how many people there were. Lots of nice rides, not counting all the vetts. Well maybe next time.
Hope you sold all your stuff.

I went with $120, came home with $4 and had a great time. NOS Offenhauser intake for my Odd-fire Buick V6 from 409.... been looking for over a year for that. A pair of E-brake handle covers for both my 67's {thanks Bob} and a nice 67-8 Camper Special Badge. Also got a line on a 68 that will be parted out soon near me. I was broke by the time I made it over to see Wes.

The meet seems a little bigger than last year. Next year a few of use should pool our money and get 2 or more booths side by side. We could all get in early and have each other to watch over the booths while the others shop.

I did see a pair of buddy buckets that sold for 300. Another guy had a set of original Vette 2.5in Ramhorn straight dumps for $450.:eek: The worst deal was a used 72 GMC front fender for $200..... I have bought whole trucks for that much. :crazy:

Yeah that was fun . Sold a few pieces , came home with a few . Nice to meet everyone , can't wait for Portland and Monroe .
Did anyone see a light Blue and White 68 C10 for sale at the swap ? I saw it leaving on a trailer but couldn't leave the booth , that was my old 68 . Just curious what he was asking . I'll be posting some Parts for Sale items today on the board .
Later ............................................ 409 :)

I glanced at that 68, it looked pretty beat up. I think it was 800 or 850 on the for sale sign.

I wonder if it sold ?
