Sometimes it's just Gooood to go to a cheby swap meet.

Yup, Since most of the swaps are chevy dominated down here in my neck of the woods I just have to grin and keep on lookin. Sometimes though I do find gems in the rough(ain't lying about the rough though) and usually they have no ideas about rarity or prices of non chevy stuff. so I can win on that front. heck even if they ask "their" price it's usually lower than the mopar meets by a bunch so it's worthwhile to "peruse" the chevy meets. And so far I've been able to hit the "goldmine" on about ever 1 out of 6 shows. the other 5 shows I just mark off to "exercise"



Today I found a replacement grill for my wife's mangled one for a small price. yeah it needs all the back metal from her grill but it's a small price to pay(and a few rivets)for a nice bunch a part I did score
here's some pic's of the score

grills has a few dents but no tears and the fins are straight.... wohoo! all the back steel support is totally rusted away but the wife's metal is good and her grill is torn and shredded from an accident.

sun visor mounts are sucky but they are a lot better than the completely frozen and pitted ones on my car and since they are all in one piece they can be plated to look nice again since they do move. Now I have tosee about getting the actual convertible visors for the mounting arms.
The headlight bezels. don't look too shabby and no tears again. dang I'm battin a 1000.

Bezels look dented, but an easy fixable process.. these should cleanup and be fixed to look even better than mine that I just did.. :cheers:

and the beauty of it all was I got-bargained for them at the low price of 15 bucks. Needless to say the money somehow magically appeared in my hand and I was quick to hustle this off to the car and lock em up.

Thanks guys, I have to go out of the state sometimes just to hit a Mopar show, the one in Georgia was a little sucky but at least it was mopars. I am buried in chevy country here in Webster Florida. Thank goodness for the Big Daddy show and a few over in Melbourne daytona areas. or I'd be going nuts( too late really) I've found a few things at the swap meets around here but ya really have to dig to find anything mopar,but when you do they have no idea on prices that the mopar stuff goes for. So I usually can get a great price on the stuff I do find. It's worth going to almost every monthly show just to treasure hunt.
