Here it is right from the horses mouth (their flyer): http://sfvalleymodela.com/wp-content...eetadfinal.pdf

I enjoy this meet. Not big enough to drive 100 miles to attend but small enough that you don't feel like you have just run a marathon when you finish going through it. I plan to be there again this year.

Hey David,
Yeah, that's the plan, as of now :)
Have been going to bring 'stuff' to sell, which would involve truck then, but the time is short now and so...roadster is backup and fun to be in anytime that I get an excuse to move things around and dig it out of garage.

Also, one plan was to put this on back of pickup (for sale/troll..fishing term, eh?:D). Just wish that I could put a video of sight/sounds that MRS made on my Iphone. Ahh, better than listening to Bach :cool:.

Funny story is...she said yes she could make video with my Iphone. So, started the beast up for run in. She was dutifully recording. I gave the B two higher rpm shots. Said to her, hope you got that, as she is running great.

I looked around , she was no where to be seen..what the ? Shut B down and she came from behind shed and said...I'm done with that (scared her) !! Of course, it didn't scare me...cause I had shooter muffs on :rolleyes:

Hey Charlie,
Hm, 'from horses mouth'....good one !
If you see this walking around.....'directly from Tom's back'...ha !
Will be me.

Re: Swap meet notification.

My 15 year old son and I are going to drive over. We attended last year and had a great time. Nice little swap meet.

Re: Swap meet notification.

Fun swap meet and car show.
It was nice to see HARDTIMES and ZZLEGENDS cars.

I got a few nice items, saw some beautiful cars and visited with some Fordbarn Model A people.

I was going to post several pictures, but my android phone has trouble posting them right side up.

Re: Swap meet notification.
 

Hey Neil. At least you took pictures. :) I still have my 1987 flip top phone and have a hard enough time just talking on it. :confused: Glad you stopped by and said hello. I should have told you to take it for a spin. I to met a few new people that I just hear about but never put a face to the name. Hope to see you again soon. Take care, Mark.
Also noticed that you got John Neilson in the picture. A very knowledgeable and super nice guy.

Re: Swap meet notification.
 

Maybe I'll post some pictures anyway for those who can stand on their heads.

Re: Swap meet notification.
 

Hey Neil,
Nice to see you and other Ford Barn guys. Fun to put faces to members only known by avatars here :) !
Some really nice cars present with maybe 50 total. One beautiful black perfect paint/shine '31 wide bed pickup..wow, and for sale. Wish I had the $ for that one !!
Also , got some REALLY great information from members met. One nice '30 coupe sold , on the spot , for 6K !

One embarrassing moment for old brain when it sent mixed information about a member here , whom I've known for over a decade..Fred A.
'Getting old' saying came to mind. Fred A is a super guy and very knowledgeable about all things old iron ;)! We discussed a number of A crank shafts , including a nice/huge BB he was selling.
Only bought one item, a new in box with instructions and sender... old stewart warner temp gage ..nice score !
Ohh, can't forget Randy Gross ! He gave me some valuable tutoring relative to f100 proper adjustment tech.. We may make a trip down to see / buy in a week or so.

Neil no problem for us downunder , ended up the right way , by turning the monitor upside down.

Re: Swap meet notification.
 

A couple more.

Nice olympic runner radiator ornament.

Re: Swap meet notification.
 

Two more

Nice 47 Ford woody

There were many other cars there that I wish I had taken pictures of.
Some 60's Chevys were pulling in as I was leaving.

Re: Swap meet notification.
 

I was only there for an hour, but I bought a nice Stewart Warner horn, some backup Zenith carbs, an AA jack and a nice 21" wheel with a good tire.
Reasonable prices.
The guy who sold me the 21" wheel and tire for $25 threw in another free wheel that had a bad rim, but a good tire on it.
