NSRA ESSEX SWAP MEET 2013

First time for us to this event and jeesus what an event.. i really have been missing out.
The main supply of parts and stuff usually come from the Newark Auto jumble every couple months but if its Hot Rod or Drag Car stuff then Essex is the place. Why is it only once a year ??
Surely such a well attended show by traders and punters alike should be at least a couple of times a year.
We arrived at 10.30 and still had to Que up for half hour to get in AND IN A MINUS 10 BLIZZARD..
Good job I'm only starting to build the chassis for my Coupe and don't actually know what stuff I'm after yet or i could of easily spent a fortune there.. ended up just buying a Chevy pic up For parts it had a 350 Ci engine and rebuilt th350 auto box complete rolling cab , with an earlier Chevy pic up rear bed plonked on it.. we needed a donor bed for the Vanguard Truck were building and i needed an engine and box to play with for the Coupe.. perfect.
Fantastic day mooching about looking at cool stuff.
Nice one.

Blimey Karl, I know you said you were keen to build a hot rod but this is wild - you'll have the damn thing built and finished by easter at this rate! Tony
