Hard to say, some years it's bigger, some years it's smaller, seems to depend a lot on the weather LOL. The hall isn't that big as you know so even if it is full (which it wasn't last year) you can get through it fairly quickly. This is the first swap meet of the season for me so it is more of an excuse to just get out and get a chance to poke around in some gool ol junk again for the first time since last fall. smile

65 Camino and I drove up in my D'elegance, nice sunny morning, got there about 9:00 am. Have to say a few less vendors than usual. I found mostly collectables and 20's to 50's parts, lots of Ford Model A and T. Anyway what could be better than roaming around talking to nice people, some you know some you just met, about cars? Saw 67 beaumont's car in the parking lot when we left I believe, Black SD with nice new shinny louvers on the quarters!

Here's our summary of purchases:

4 cans of Duracool -$44, 1 bottle Lucas Stabilizer - $9, 1 75th Anniversay NHL Game Puck - $2, Spending a morning looking at old auto parts - Priceless!

I ended up making a last minute decision to go as well, went straight from there to the GTO club swap meet near Welland, made for a long day but a good one.

Richmond Green was as expected, not much in the way of Pontiac parts of any kind. I did see a brochure for a 82 Parisienne but decided to leave it because it had a lot of coffee stains on it. I bought a diecast and some literature I should be able to make some coin on if I put it on ebay but as Ray said, the main thing was just meeting up with some car guys I know and getting caught up after a long winter.

Ray, have you actually used that Duracool stuff before? I heard that it is extremely flamable and that's why a lot of guys refuse to use it.

Todd, you need to get working on some hats or something so we can identify ourselves at meets like these.

Who is going to Ancaster in two weeks?

Yes I have used it and it is a good and safe product in my opinion. I think there is a lot of scare tactics surrounding this product. It is Refrigerant Propane with an 1,100 degree flash point. Scientifically, the 170 litres of gasoline I carry in my tank with a 246 degree flash point is much more flamable. Since it is a natural substance no licensing is required since it is environmental safe so obviously shops that have made a fortune charging us $400 to recharge the system every spring have a vested interest in saying disparging things about it and spreading untrue rumours.

I have a small leak somewhere in my Suburban's system that two shops and the dealer have never found and how could they with the amount of plumbing that thing has with a front and rear system so with the larger molecular make up of Duracool one charge in the spring gets me through the season. Yes I probably should bite the bullet and find the leak but for 40 bucks it hardly seems worth the time and aggrevation, not to mention the hundreds of dollars and add on top of that that it is a natural substance so not harming the environment.
