Dennis, find anything at UVSC? I heard there was over 440 cars at the show, good for a rainy day. Not alot of parts I wanted. Got a nice BB Chev "198" intake. Saw a AM/FM bluelight, some BB exhausts, not much else. Brent

Nope....came home empty handed

well almost..My wife bought an old "jug".
Had lots of fun looking, and did manage to talk to some guys I hadn't seen in a while.
My buddy is looking for a project car, but we didn't find anything suitable. Ole Chip had a ROUGH '34 5 window coupe for $16.500...Jag rear, fresh SBC, body palenl patches Screwed together...
Some nice stuff in the car show as usual, lots of nice Mopars, lots of street rods, but only a handful of "real" SS Chevys. Did you see the Yenko "sort of clone" 69 Camaro?
Some day I'll make it to Pomona...for a "real" swap meet!

Or you can trip a little east where there were lots of performance cars. Say to Peotone Illinois fairgrounds on June 13th for the 5-6-7 Chevy clubs' swap and show. I used to haul truck loads of stuff out of there. Not all Chevy (and all years), but mostly. And no, Rodney Brockman didn't ask me to post this

. It's worth the 2 hour trip for me. Opens at 6am for everyone.

Rodney doesn't have to advertise that show anymore.

Next to SC Indy's swapmeet,& Jefferson Wisc.,Peotone is one of THE best Single Day Swapmeets in the Central US.
I can never get there early enough.

I don't think I'll be able to make that one, as I have a trip home to Northern Minnesota planned for the end of June.

Was a VERY Prosperous Day today.

John
Hope you found some very sought after key components as much as I did.
Who needs Weathermen,when God Smiled on us.
Bravo Rodney!

There were flood warnings, but it wasn't raining at 4:00 am so I headed out anyway. It was worth the two hour drive! I used to sell

the same parts I am now buying to put a car together. I wish I had everything back I ever sold. I sold it all too cheap. Glad you had a good day too.

We weren't the only ones from this board that were having a good time at Peotone yesterday. While I was walking around I saw a little white Chevy pickup with Illinois license plate YENKOSC parked between two of the buildings.

There are a lot of people that like to keep good swaps like this one a secret. shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh................

Finally got sick of bidding on overpriced online items and put a wanted ad in the local paper for 69 camaro parts. I got 1 call and a really nice gentleman sold me 2 fenders, deck lid, some glass, 2 doors, heater control, and a dash pad for a decent price. Granted not perfect parts but I like the old vintage GM stuff verses repops.I Couldn't believe I didn't get any calls for a parts car or a wrecked car. I know of 3 cars in my area but the owners are going to "fixem up someday" the search continues.

You don't have to get to Peotone too early. I bought 6 Hurst shifter from one vender at 10:30 Sunday morning and one of the shifters had a 1969 Camaro big block shifter mounting bracket and correct big block rods and levers. And to think I was going to stay home because of the weather...Crash
