So who is going?

I have a spot I share with a friend in the Blue Field, spot 2 N 6.  I will be there on and off on Friday and Saturday, when I am not out in the fields searching for Pontiac parts!  If you are around, drop by and say hi, either my friend Paul (who is into Firebirds) or myself should be there.  I'll be the middle aged guy with the beard wearing a straw hat that has seen much better days (you'll see what I mean if you come by).wink

Guess what? Yep, I'm working. This working bit seems to get in the way quite a bit. I'm also going to miss the large show in Woodstock at the Hobart plant this Saturday. This year they are giving away a sweet Mig welder. Sure I have one but there's always room for another!

Its a car show/swap meet. It's usually pretty good. Hobart has a big display of toys. They have a cool new 110v plasma cutter I'd like to have.

i wanted to go, you know the work thing. i was hoping to pick up a fm converter from the radio guy. if you guys see him ask him how much and does he have 2. if you are not sure what a fm converter is, it is a radio that bolts under your dash to add fm to your am radio. audiovox used to make some.

I have a friend who owns a Studebaker Hawk. Someone modified the factory AM radio in such a way that when you turn it on it's in AM mode, but if you quickly turn it off and on again, it goes into FM mode. Really slick. Anyone know who does these conversions?

I never knew he was that close. Sometimes when I leave Pearsall's dealership I'll go down Alice. Never seen the sign though.

Does he have a website?

Guys, the weather is great up here, cool and breezy but no rain, much better than that sweatbox I left in TO this morning. Picked up some Canadian poncho brochures and sold a set of wheels that had been taking up space in the garage so it has been a good day so far! Hope to see some of you over the weekend.

Mid day report, it's a beautiful sunny day, about 20 degrees, cool breezes. Saw a fair number of Beaumont parts this morning, anyone need a mint 69 nose emblem for $75? 64 Acadian rally clock for $75, etc.

I had the radio guy from Brighton do the FM conversion on a 55 Pontiac radio a few years ago. The price was $435.00 with a CD jack. I haven't installed the radio yet as it will be used in a 55 Pontiac stationwagon currently under construction.  The 69 emblem was at our booth and is owned by a friend of mine and it did not sell. Sat was a good day but Sunday was a rain out with the weather finally clearing at 3:30 giving us enough time to dry everything out before packing up.    Al
