Turlock Swapmeet
Drove up to Turlock for the annual auto swap and show. Turnout was off due to forecast rain. But it turned out to be an ok day, just a little wind. I scored a nice survivor instrument cluster and passenger side unit with clock for my 55 Chevy project.
It always amazes me to see what some expect to get for outright junk! I know original steel is hard to find. But some of these pieces have more bullet holes than steel!! I think you might be better off to just buy a completed project than rescue one of those.
But, if one is patient, nuggets can be found. Sorry, my camera is down, but no real standout cars anyway.
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
