Thanks for heads up Ernie. I'm going to print this post out and save it. I probally won't go down to the NJ one, but will probally hit a CT one or two.

How is that Elky of your coming along? Haven't heard any updates for a bit.

The NJ swap meet is the best of the four. It's quite a haul but I've never come home empty handed. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever left a swap meet empty handed.
:wink:

My Elky is ummm...well ummmm... let's just say you should never tell a body man (even if he's your friend) that there's no big rush to get it done. I've been checking on it regularly. Last progress was the sandblasting. It's been kept in a dry garage since then. When I see some progress I'll report on it.

Damn, looks like I missed all of them. I was hoping to go to the Thompson meet, but family things had to come first.

The only good thing is the weather was very nice out, so I was able to take the front bumper off the Elky to be rechromed....hint hint Santa..... 8)
