Just got back from the first Bus Farmers Swap Meet in Sacramento. I feel I made out pretty good... I camped out with the Busfarmers (Todd, Art, Dean - Chicks Dig 'Em) and sat around with Rich Kimball and Ed Economy (ok, enuf name dropping) After a very un-sleepful night, I was up at the crack of dawn to start scavenging. Right of the bat I bought a '67 apron, a set of ivory-handled popout latches and a vent box rear screen all for $5. I also picked up an NOS RHD barndoor gas pedal, a set of German replacement reflectors, a_set_ of '51 license plates, barndoor hoorn button, and a couple other trinkets. Bought some T shirts, too. Spent a tad under $300. There was a lot of cool stuff there; I think the swap was much better than the Vallejo show. I blew off the SOTO picnic in favor of some sleep. Tonight we're camping out at the 'rama... I still have money to spend... Thom -- > How do I set my laser printer on stun?
