    Portland Or. Anyone going? This will be my first time and I am looking forward to finding some good junk. I am looking for a few mav parts but mostly 66 fairlane parts. I hope to sell a few things also. :dance:

    The swap meet is one of the got to go things for me to do, I have been going to it for around 25 years, got sun burnt,frozen and drowned. Bring some good walking shoes that can stand getting wet and rain gear. Cant see it all in one day. Selling starts at the track on Thursday and expo on Friday

    At the race track it is about 2 1/2 miles to walk around and at expo center is a lot of walking as well probably the same by the time you walk up and down every aisle. Expo has buildings to go in when weather is really bad but race track is all out in the open. Race track usually has better prices. The way it is looking this year I would expect it to be rainy

    Maverick parts are pretty hard to find, I used to sell them there but stuff wasnt easy to move, usually there are a couple Mavs for sale.

    Where are you going to be selling at---track or expo. Good luck and have fun (y)

    Yeah let me know which space you will be in and I will make it a point to try and look you up, odds are you will be out searchen though.

    I think I remember seeing the Pinks car racing in person, was it at Woodburn for Arm Drop racing, or maybe I just remember it from TV

    I was thinking about it but I have to decide if I want to ge the yard done or go play, tough decision. If it was going to be nice I would hop on the bike and go but long days in the rain on two wheels sucks.

    Yeah driving through the gorge on a bike in April could be brutal, especially if you have to fight a west wind.

    I like taking 14 much more scenic and just about as fast

    I just checked Accuweather and it says sunny and warm 69-71 degrees Thursday through Saturday, I will believe it when I see it

    This will be my first time going and having parts for swapping so i was wondering if you guys could give me advice.

    I have lots of pics on my tablet so I was figuring on just bringing it with me, is that the best way to do it now?

    Anyway im stoked hoping to find a new drivers seat, maybe get a lead on new doors, lots of little stuff.

    Been holding off on some projects hoping to find some good deals.
