Happy Thanksgiving to all
I really enjoyed seeing and meeting everyone last weekend
I was there all 4 days and saw so many cars.
Reading here on the website this morning about the ‘67 Yenko!
How the heck did I miss that!!
If you come to this show it must be for both days
as you will figure out after you come the first time.
I think this is what, the 10th or 12th year, I think.
Missed one year and don’t plan to do that again.
On a sad Note;
I guess I put a little to much faith and trust in all people.
I chase rare muscle car parts all year to bring some of the best pieces
To this show.
Love what I do.
And I appreciate what you do for me.
Doing what I do keeps me going.
I sure hope nobody else had items Stolen!
And I am very glad I didn’t catch them.
It has nothing to do with the $500-600 Loss.
That I know of so far, it’s the principle
and the world we live in now.
It’s not just this show, it can happen anywhere, anytime.
I don’t mean to Rant, just blowing of a little steam before
Go out and go through what I brought home.
Probably picked a bad day to do this and I’m sorry,
I don’t mean to bring my misfortune on anybody,
please Go and enjoy your Holiday.

Sorry to hear of parts walking away. I am always wondering if any of my stuff will disappear, when all spread out and too many people looking, to watch everything.
I just realized I was talking with you about the big block oil pans early Sat morn.
Let go of your frustration for the day and enjoy Thanksgiving with your family.

People can really be a POS today. Sorry to hear that occurred, but not surprised. I don't know how you can watch over a spot like that the way you do. I enjoy the swap meets and perhaps this is a contributing reason why they are drying up.
It was nice to finally meet you in person Joe, in addition to Bill and Crash. I'm glad the shows are back.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Sorry to hear Joe - not good.
Joe: I really enjoyed meeting you face to face. The tires, wheels, rings and caps are better than described; and I am blown away by the pristine condition of the long finger damper I got from you. You have an amazing bunch of really nice rare parts.
So sorry to hear someone ripped you off. I passed by your place a few times when you were MIA, and was wondering if that would be an issue. Sadly, I guess you almost need someone standing guard all frikken day.
I know it isn't much consolation, but Karma is a bitch. Hope the folks that ripped you off get what they deserve.

That is the hard part about being a participant. Of the dozens of swap meets I've been in, I never leave, so I don't get a chance to see anything else at the meet/show. The up side is, I'm not bringing home more than I take... well, most of the time...:cool2:

That's a real drag. Honestly, I was wondering how you kept track of everything given how many parts you had in your space. Back in the day, anyone caught stealing from a swap meet would have had the $hit kicked out of them by us vigilantes!

There was myself and Gary from the horn works.
If I was gone he was there.
Thinking the Bell housing, Yes a 621 must of disappeared after we closed up on Saturday.
It was there on Saturday.
Got there on Sunday and took pics just to show the guy’s at work.
Didn’t notice it being missing but not in pics.
We both seen it Saturday.
On Sunday about 2:00 had a couple of friends come back to get a restored
RC-15 big Ear Radiator cap and it was gone.
Unfortunately just to many people and not enough eyes.
Guess I should of had it on the LS-6 radiator out front.
But you know where that would of gone.
Thanks everyone

It was really nice meeting you at MCACN and very sorry to hear part(s) were lifted. Being all like-minded people, I just wouldn't expect that kind of dirtbag behavior.

Most sad that someone was so low as to steal. Very sorry for your loss.

i had a 1966 chevelle AM-FM stolen at jefferson 2 years ago, i watched ebay right after that and it never did show up there, still makes me mad, but a bellhousing, kind of hard to hide that walking around, some people just steal like it is normal, no big deal

Speaking of stealing. Did they ever recover the Camaro Judging Manual that was taken?

Unrelated, but early in the weekend the rear yenko badge (which was obviously original) on the unrestored Fathom Green car was hanging by one pin... later in the weekend we looked at the car again and there was just a silhouette of where the emblem used to be... I'm hoping the owner took it off before it fell off or was stolen. Can anyone confirm that was the case?

Very sorry to hear about the missing parts. It was great to talk with you on Sunday over all your smog parts. Hopefully you’ll be able to put this behind you and get back to what the weekend and the show is all about, the good people of the hobby.
Thanks,
Marty
