Everyone I talk to, says you have to get there at 5am. For me its not that serious. I mention that I would get there around 9am, but I was told thats too late. Thus I have not been.

You aren't missing anything...except overpriced beer, parking, and parts that everyone selling thinks are made of gold. I stopped going several yrs. ago.

WOW!! I think that answers my question. LOL
Honestly, when I do go to swapmeets, Long Beach in fact. I tend to look for a specific item, find it or dont, then leave. But even at LB, the prices are ridiculous on some items, or people dont know what they are talking about.

Kabwe, I will go with you oneday to Pomona. Unless you leave at 5am. LOL

coolbus4us · 08-23-2010, 11:08 AM

hahaha, yeah the beer is $8.00, and yeah we usually get there at 5:30am. no biggie its a lot cooler early so we like that part of it. There are some good deals to be had there just know what you are looking for and ignore the "know it alls" with the "one off" super custom edelbrock intake(dime a doze there) that they say is worth $10.00 under full retail for a new one.
We showed up with a wagon and $200.00 and came home with lots of good deals...in our eyes at least.

WellBilt Kustoms · 08-23-2010, 03:37 PM

Hey my fello Californians! I can't believe I'm just now finding this section of the forum.

Anyways...I'm Jimmy. Located in Buena Park, CA (Orange County). I have a shop out here which does all types of metal fabrication, and street rod, hot rod, race car, show car building.

I myself own a 1963 Chevy c10 LWB fleetside which is my shop truck. I just recently picked it up, so I'm doing work on it as I work in between jobs. I've gotten a good amount of work done on it so far, but a long way to go to get it to where I want it. Here is a link to the thread for my truck.

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=412905

I became a member on this awesome forum because we started a full custom, frame off build on a 1967 chevy c10 for a bike builder. Project has been on hold for a little while, but where going to get back on it this week. Here is the link to the build.

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=385028

Also, I have a 86 suburban which I'm parting out, and alot of the parts left are larger pieces, so I'd like to sell them to someone locally, so if anyone is interested, here is the link to that. I also have a ton of SBC/BBC, performance, and air suspension parts for sale which I'm just trying to clear off my shelves at my shop, so i'll post that link as well.

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=408133

I'm happy to be part of this forum, and have met some great people already. I'm thinking about holding a meet at my shops parking lot in the next month or so, that way I can meet some more members. If anyone would be interested in doing that, let me know. I have a bbq grill here too

Welcome to the So Cal Page. A meet at a shop, all you have to do is say when. LOL

A few of us were thinking on a date for the next one. We have a few people with truck and car projects, so just say when.
Where does the line start for that metal work?

Thanks!

Well, I'm definately down to have a meet at my shop. I'm pretty centrally located right off of beach blvd. in between the 5 freeway and the 91. I guess lets try to get a list together of everyone who is interested in coming, and see what everyone's schedule looks like. I'm pretty much open to whenever since I practically live at my shop, lol!

Its seems to me that the ball is in your court Wellbilt. Throw a date out there and we will go from there.

VDOG · 09-08-2010, 07:21 PM

My new project. Who says you need a trailer to get a cab home.
I like to thank Budnikguy for the cab, and I would recommend him to anyone looking for parts. One helluva good guy.

What do you all think about a car meet / swapmeet? If enough people have parts to sell/trade. My shop is also a 1/2 mile from beach blvd. Maybe a Cruise afterwards?

I was thinking maybe sometime mid next month, before SEMA starts.

Me and a friend of mine are showing at this event this Saturday, and we will be leaving Saturday morning from my shop in Buena Park.

Really fun show......

If I wasn't headed up to the nor cal even the following weekend I would have gone. Just too much stuff to wrap up on the truck and around the house.

sandnuriz · 09-22-2010, 07:26 PM
