Thread: Monroe Swap Meet

  1. #1

    Monroe Swap Meet

    Hey guys and gals,

    I mentioned at the last meeting an idea I had about renting a swap space and setting up a tent and our banner and making it a dual sell our stuff and recruit new members at the same time sort of thing.

    My idea is to find out what, if anything, you may have you want to get rid of, collect it all in one location, and then haul it all out there and sell it. The idea I had was to make a percentage of the sales go to the club (to pay for the spot and add to the general fund) and the rest goes to whoever owns the stuff.

    I'm trying to get this figured out soon so I can decide to reserve one or two spots. So if you're hip to this idea, let me know as soon as you can.

    Hi Roger, I really don't have much to sell at this point. The few extra Ford items I have I am going to hold until I get a better feel on what the wagon needs.

    If I do find some items, it would just be a handful of items and certainly wouldn't require much space.

    Unless something major comes up, you can count on me to work a 1/2 day shift at the stand. Is that what you had in mind?

    Here is what I have off the top of my head:

    round body trunk lid
    complete T-Bird IRS assembly
    65-65 Mustang V8 spindles
    brand new never used chain hoist
    two sets of 62 Futura fender birds (one set in fresh chrome)
    62 Falcon horn ring
    62 Falcon bumper jack

    I'm sure I can come up wit some other things if I look through the garage.

    What is the date? I want to get it on my calender.

    May 16th and 17th. Setup day is on the 15th.

    Obviously with some of the larger items I may need to twist someone's arm to help on Friday to setup (I'll have to take the day off work). So anybody who can be available that day? I plan to arrange the space by the weekend, so anybody else with stuff?

    Apparently I am tied up Sunday (Syttende Mai). Put me down to work it Saturday. I would like to take a bit of a look around but can stay the day. Maybe someone can tag team with me.

    Roger,

    If it doesn't look like you will have enough help from guys closer too you on your setup day, friday I will be available. I also will go through my left over stuff to see if any of it is worth while to sell.

    Nathan,
    I'm in the Ephrata area a lot in the summer, and would be happy to meet you someplace 'tween there and you, or can make arrangements for you to leave your parts at my place near Soap Lake. Matter of fact, I'm going to be there this week-end and next (I like to fish over there). I would be happy to meet you anytime b/4 the meet.

    OK, thanks for the offer folks. As the day approaches we'll fashion a plan. At this point I'm thinking to get just one space, which will likely be enough.

    I have sent payment of $35 to the swap meet for a 10x20 outdoor space. I will either get a confirmation back or my check back. So far I have not received my check back. Please start collecting stuff you might want to sell if you want to participate.

    Jeff and I will probably roll up together and I can dig up a dozen or so parts to add to the pile. Rear bumper, rock chip guard, cable throttle w/bracket, hubcaps, & other misc.

    Thanks for organizing this fundraising event Roger! Maybe Jeff can transfer a reimbursement via PayPal or get it to you somehow. I'm sure we can make the $35 back pretty quick.

    Also, people sell all kinds of stuff at this swap meet so it doesn't have to be strictly Falcon parts.

    I will probably be setting up a "drop-zone" for parts that need to go and I'll probably borrow our company flatbed to make it easier to haul lots of stuff. The drop zone will be likely at a warehose near the BurgerMaster where our meeting are. I'll only be able to store things for the week leading up to that weekend, so we can coordinate all of this over the next couple of weeks - here on the forum.

    Roger,
    Gene aka SmithKid is going to pick-up somethings I can donate to the club..

    The big item will be a good working 2.77 tranny
    I also have some column parts that i will send..
    Maybe a clutch set that is used but might be service able
    I think I have a flex plate for a small block Ford that is a 157 thooth that is brand new.. I have no idea where it came from..
    I'll see what else i can scrounge up.. I no longer have the 3.03 trans..

    I have a 62 falcon wagon that I'm starting to wish would disappear..
