If you were close, you could count me in. I like working on stuff. No expert by any means, but at my age, I've done things wrong enough times to know what to watch for. Keep me away from engine internals and differentials. Anything else isn't scary at all.
Good luck to you.

Let me know how it is. It is already pouring this morning.

Back a long time ago, I rode my bike down to Houston for spring break to visit some friends who transferred there with the Amoco move. The first morning I took a shower and used two towels, trying to get dry.
I finally gave up. They laughed and said you get used to it.
At least running around on the bike, I had a lot of air flow all the time.

Do you work on cars much?
Did you enjoy the show?

It was my first mega corvette show and I was quite pleased. T shirts and hats were relatively cheap and plentiful. The swap meet was a little disappointing for me however. A little to difficult to find 69 parts in the many year parts. Plus you get better items and quality on this forums for sale group.

It looked like if you could find some heavy items, this would be a great place. Just to save on shipping. Plus there was a semi there for Coker tires in case someone wanted some classic tires to carry home.
I think it was Coker?

I agree though, it would be great IF you found some deals on larger items.
They really need to pick a new location. Charging $25/person is too much. Especially for one day. You can see all there is in about 4-5 hours. Its nothing like Carlisle.
