Our buddy Chad Ehrlich is back on the hunt for parts and that means it is SWAP MEET TIME!!! I love swap meets, in fact it is one of the things I miss a lot about California since there aren’t many here in Texas. But in Springfield Missouri they have some good ones going and Chad visited to see what kind of scores he could find for his wrecking yard and parts business. He loaded the truck up, so it must have been good. Watch to find out what he got and what he paid for it.
Video Description:
Swap meets are always great. You never know what may show up to buy, but one thing is for sure, you will always see old friends and make new ones!!! That is one thing the internet will never replace!
As always, I found plenty to buy! The swap spaces were sold out this year. Set up day was kind of a mess, but that was not the fault of the event. They are building a huge new building at the fairgrounds and they would not let the vendors in at their scheduled time due to construction going on with the new building. It was king of a mess. Fortunately, when they did finally start letting people in, traffic flowed smoothly and everything went pretty well from there on.
I did buy a lot of stuff, but I did NOT buy big stuff this year after the snafu last year with the “parts hauling” service that is provided, or lack thereof. I still did well. I found a lot of good parts as well as some signs and toys for our collection!
We got see several old friends and made some new ones!! Some of these guys will probably look familiar from last years video and there are some news ones as well!!!! One great thing about the swap meet was that finally, after passing each other at multiple other swap meets, I finally caught up with Classic Ride Society!!!
Stay tuned for the next video coming up in a couple of days!!! After the pickup was unloaded!!! You don’t want to miss what came home with me!!!!
