Correct.
If you are serious about the swap meet. Get there BY 7:00 am. The action starts early and quickly. No time for small talk.

Im there SAT 0645 ;-) I missed a pair of 440 source AL big block heads for $400 by 3 minutes. If you see a great deal, dont pass it up because itll go to the next guy, usually standing behind you or in my case 2 years ago, the guy next to me that was faster than me to say "sold" after I started bargaining. What a dick.....

I'll be there with a wad of cash. Too many times I have had the same dick buy something I am holding. AutoX had the same thing happen on some 4 spd parts last year. Usually I sell, maybe Sunday if I get some stuff pulled together.

Where's the best place to park if you get there by 7?

Non show. West side parking area directly across from the swap meet. You can also park along the street once the entrance line is gone.

ABSOLUTELY MAKE SURE TO READ AND LOOK FOR "NO PARKING" SIGNS
They have and WILL ticket illegally parked cars.
The dirt lot across the street and at the south edge of the swap is a good place to park. It's the entrance to the airplane model field. But do not park along driveway to model field.
Also dirt lot north of the show field right in front of the armory is good to park. It's on the show side (west side) of Woodley Ave.

Nice show, hit it and quit it by 10AM, thats a record for me. Question: Why were the sellers setting up so late? Its usually full boogie by 0700? Too wet?

Got there at 6:45. Left at 2 and just got back to San Diego. Traffic sucked. Show was awesome. It was a first for me, all Mopar show that is. Nice to go some where and see more than 1 or 2 Chrysler/Dodge cars. Gotta say though, only a couple 67-69 darts. Thought there would be more. I screwed the pooch right away and passed on a new set of sb TTI ceramic and thermal coated step headers for $600. Passed then talked myself into it 5 minutes later and you know how that ended. I just have a hard time parting with that much dough for headers. It was a good deal though. I'll keep looking for a used set. Did score a bunch of small stuff. Also was able to scratch off the list a set of Strange big pattern axles with bearings for $150. They look good to me, but not 100% there exactly right. All in all it was a good turn out and there were many a deal to be had. Lots of great cars. I look forward to next year. Here are a couple of pics.

Didn't stay long today but I did score an 893 pan for cheap. The turnout for swap looked small compared to other years, maybe tomorrow will be better.
Pictures of all the cars in the show today...

Thank you for the pictures.
Nice deal on axles you needed. Great to see people getting parts that help get their car going/better. That's the idea.
