anyone goin to the swap meet at the state fair grounds this weekend?

 

Dang! You're from Michigan... I got all excited there for a second.

 

so where are the state fair grounds?

 

detroit 8 mile and woodward. i'm going. going to look for some swap meet louie.

 

i wanna go, i've never been to one....my dad said i should go cuz i might find something i need for my car.....what exactly is there?

 

anyone know what time it starts and how much to get in?

 

Went to a swap meet here in IL on sunday, got a pair of front IROC wheels with no curb rash or nothing for $20!!!!!

 

mostly parts for older cars but it has been getting better over the years for the newer cars. what are you looking for? i don't know what time it starts but i think it usually costs 10 for parking and 8 to get in .

 

anything from a rusty tailpipe to a set of rims.... o wait, ... i got stuff to sell

anyone know if you hafta pay for a lot or can you just set up camp?

 

too ****ing cold....seriously...

but if Posbird goes.. ill go.

 

yeah you have to pay.

 

like what? 20 bucks?

good chance for me to clean out the garage:lala:

 

i would loveeeee to find some iroc rims! i'd like to find some heads....since the ones i have in the garage are for a 350 not a 305

 

you might want to check at a machine shop for heads they might be willing to trade you. but make sure they are tuned port heads and not the TBI heads.

 

want a 350? i got 2 of them... not complete though

 

i dunno if they'd trade or not, these need to be re-built?
but i'll go annoy ray down the street and ask

my dad might want a 350(even tho its not complete)....hes mentioned it a few times, i'll ask him if ya wanna part with one

 

what do you want for 1 350. my friend needs a block . is it 87 up roller.

 

yup, l98 from my 87 formula. i got an offer for 50... so 75?

 

ok I went to the meet a coulpe years ago, noticed something odd, if u wait long enough (in the fricken cold), wait for soemone to open one of the side doors, and slid right in, no reason to pay.
umm, I wouldnt be suggesting something wrong here or illigal or anything just you people should keep an eye out for someone maybe like 6'4" 255 sneaking in

hold on a second that sounds just like me...

 

for 75 i'll take it. i will email you.

 

geeze ur tall

 

If your going to your first swap meet, be sure when your looking for parts specific to your car, that you ask them what its for before you tell them what you drive(like headers). (run-on sentence, lol)

And everyone will tell you every set of heads come off a Corvette or they are 2.02 heads

 

well I dont want to turn this into a thread about me... oh heck ya I do.

yea im a big ole football player, Im a senior in Highschool, just finshed with football.

onto the size thing, its kinda hard to sneak anywhere when your like me.

i think if we were playin football and i saw u runnin towards me ....i'd turn around, scream and run the other way

 

hey leah if you get a chance pick me up those things that we talked about earlier ok?

 

i've never been to a swap meet, but i dont think anyone would be sellin blow up dolls, vaseline, or naked pictures of any older men u said were attractive.





no im kiddin...u know i love ya

 

Leah....that's supposed to be our "secret"

geez

 

i forgot

 

i picked up a 58mm tb for 250 instead of 550....there is alot of junk too though. it's like cattle hurding though....interesting all the same. they had some viper seats last year for 850 too. a couple cowl hoods, blowers, etc.

 

i've never been to a swap meet, but i dont think anyone would be sellin blow up dolls, vaseline, or naked pictures of any older men u said were attractive.



That sounds kinda like my last internet order......weird.....

last time I went to the swap meet it was dirty as hell with junk parts, I hope this years is better

 

they all are like that...you won't find show pieces but if you really look you can find some deal. even my throttle body had to be polished out but to save 250 on something i needed was well worth the 18 to get in.

 

yea, I understand what your saying.
Im looking for gfx for a 92 bird, im sure though that I wont be able to find something of that nature there.
Dont ahve any money either.
oh well it will be fun to look

 

anyone go yet? i have yet to, what are the times....?

 

i would also like to know... i planned on going but i didnt have any gas or money

 

that occured to me the other night...."wait G...you aint got no money...sh1111111at!"
Oh well, i'll see ya'll at woodward and hopefully that Nats!

word.....

 

Me and Ham went, we just got back from the swap meet... wow... just... wow. had some good stuff for sale there. 96LT1 from a camaro, LS6 intake, LS1 heads. TONS of intake for carbs, tunnel rams, hilborn FI manifolds, cranks, couple 400 blocks, a dart big M block with a 4.500 bore... sweet jebus it was nice... too bad i didnt have money to actually buy anything

 

Yea it was pretty sweet, i couldnt believe how large it was.

the only downfall was teh fact that i didnt have any money to spend, i had to actually borrow 10 bucks for admission from Posbird to get in.


on another Downside... we met up with Jeff(Kandied) later that night to sell him a block....he saw my car asked how it was running (great i replied)....

i get home and i hear this ***-Awful whine... my alternator fried....what luck.


i guess i can thank Posbird for helping me with the 10pm alternator and Belt install....and for lending me 100 bucks for the parts :hail:

 

If I would have known it was going to be a 3rd gen party I would have acctually gone

 

If my car had been running and I had had some money, then I would've gone too! :lala:

i didnt go....gotta love my friends and all the drama

 

leah...i would have gone up with you for it....???

just so you know

 

why didnt u tell me......i would have rather gone with u then anyone else steve

 

well just hit me up for the next swap meet and i'll probably go to it.


you need to get going on your header swap too you know.

 

i dont need to get going on my header swap.....
you need to get going on my header swap.....

 

Wow, admission is pricey up there. The best swapmeet of the summer here is the Tri-Chevy Swapmeet in Peotone, IL in June. Admission is like $3 or $4.

A couple summers ago my brother bought a TPIS intake w/3 sets of injectors & the TB & harness & everything for $600 at Tri-Chevy. He polished up the intake and sold the whole setup for $1750 on eBay. Swap meets rule.

 

where are you from Leah?

 

taylor
