Default Portland Swap Meet - '64 Parts

Hi Everyone,

It looks like I will be able to attend the Portland Swap Meeting this year. I am putting together a shopping list - and have found that although I can confidently identify some parts, others I am not sure of.

I am looking for names of some reliable vendors that typically attend so I have less worries regarding buying parts that are wrong/misidentified.

I know that Mr. Vidan is often there. Who are the others I should check out?

Thanks.

Mr. Vidan, haven't heard that since my dad was around. I'll PM you a list of guys I know that will be there, maybe you can PM your want list and we can get it passed around so someone might be able to bring stuff for you that might have been left home.

Yep

The way things are going, I'm having doubts that Charlotte is going to happen.

Well...I was raised right - I assume it is OK to call you Bob. Hi Bob - I'm Paul. A list would be great. I am finishing up my shopping list and will send you a copy. I probably can't afford everything on it in one go but....

Crap...I hadn't thought of that. Would be my luck the year I finally have solid plans to go...

I'll finish up my list. A couple of items are pretty heavy - so avoiding the freight was part of the reason for going - but probably once you figure gas and lodging it is all the same money really.

Thanks everyone for the help.

But going to a swap is fun, so you can discount the gas and lodging and file it under entertainment....

I wasn't officially going (I told my wife I wasn't) but I have been teasing myself with the idea of going...
