Great place to scrounge up hot rod parts and this year was important becausing I was relaying the Satellite to it’s new owner! We’ll start off on a hazey Saturday morning, about 8:00 or so. We’d all been up really late drinking heavily and barbecuing, and I personally...

For years, I’ve always gone to swap meets with my friends. The last few swap meets I’d gone to I’ve gone with my Dad, and seen my friends there.

Greg had to pick out the smallest one he could, we picked out the other, normal size ones. Amazing the reactions you get from people. Everyone was smiling, laughing, and yelling...
