I found bargains and bought a lot of things I need and don't need. Besides the swap, you get to see all the great cars, motorcycles, motorbikes, radiator ornaments, and more in the museum buildings.

It was terrific. I think the Model A museum is the best done on the campus. Something for all involved to be proud of.

I found an original 29 radiator for my 29 AA truck. Tested it for leaks upon arriving back home and it held water OK. Color me happy! Don Bivens back story of the A616 acquisition was terrific. And Larry Shepherd's electrical trouble shooting seminar was both very informative and enjoyable. Turns out that all headlight bulbs are NOT created equally.

We had a great time. Saw a whole lot of really nice cars and took many photos of color combinations for my future paint.
Bought some needed parts, and some not needed yet, I hope.
And found some sources for stuff I know I will need down the road.

Thanks Mike.. I enjoyed doing it. There's never enough time for it all so we were cramming at the end. I think we had most of the chairs filled so it I was pleased we had great attendance. Glad you found some goodies at the swap, I did as well. We were fixing Mark It was a great day and thank you for coming!
Larry

Model A's don't leak oil they just mark their territory.

Had to reduce the size of the photos to get them to post.
These photos were taken on Thursday, prior to placing them in the Museum.
