What date is this event? Don't want to miss it.
Dave
Posted by: Cap'n Krusty Apr 20 2013, 11:03 AM
That would be JUNE 2, 2013. Despite my declaration a couple of years ago that I was retiring from the swap meet circuit, it looks like there'll be one last hurrah. Lyn and I plan to be there the afternoon before the event, and we're gonna dine at Buffalo Bill's in Hayward. Mighty fine food, good selection of excellent beverages. We hope some of you will join us!

I was afraid of that, i'll be out of town that weekend. I was hoping to sell off extra parts and maybe finding some good rear lens.

Posted by: arkitect Apr 20 2013, 01:09 PM
I'm guessing a good time to get there would be 7am. A
lot of the good deals go to the early arrivals.

I may have a pair of useable tail light lenses, Dave. Not perfect, but useable and not to embarrassing to be seen with. Cleaning and moving parts around today, and I will look. PM me later today.

Swap meet begins at 0700, I think. Look on the PCA LPR region website, or the Parts Heaven site. Dinner's around 7, Saturday night.

A lot of the good stuff is gone by 7.
I meant, what time for dinner/beer?
Posted by: Cap'n Krusty Apr 23 2013, 06:31 PM
Dinner around 7 works for me. Gives us a chance to visit, eat, and consume adult beverages, and we still have time for some sleep before that 0530 alarm goes off ..................
Buffalo Bill's Brewery, 1082 B St, Hayward, CA 94541
We could do a little signup list and I can make reservations. Just 5 weeks! to go!

I think I can make it to dinner. Only 10 min away.
On a side note:
Buffalo Bill's is one of 2 restaurants that I have done electrical work at AND I will still eat there. The Brewmeister, John runs a clean ship!
Posted by: Cap'n Krusty May 27 2013, 08:44 AM
OK. Final show of hands by Tuesday noonish. I'll call for the reservations around then. I have 6 folks responding, but I'm unclear (what's new?) as to the actual number of people. Please let me know if you're planning on bringing a guest, minder, service dog, clone, or probation officer. We're staying at the Best Western down the street a ways, and will be arriving by taxi.
The Cap'n
Posted by: Krieger May 27 2013, 10:18 AM
Hey Cap'n. I can't go to the food shindig, but I am goin for the swap. I need one tiny part if you can remember: I need a knob with screw for the early odometer reset.
Posted by: JimN73 May 27 2013, 12:54 PM
I'm still in
Posted by: 1TRICK6 May 27 2013, 04:18 PM
Is this swap meet a big event, lots of sellers?? Hate to drive up 5+ hrs from So. Cal., if only a handful of sellers.
Posted by: Dave_Darling May 27 2013, 04:21 PM
It has been very big in the past. Less so now, but I would be surprised if there were less than about 15-20 sellers, and not at all surprised if there were quite a few more.

Generally speaking, and I missed it last year, I suspect the line of sellers will be about a city block long, both sides of the street.

I don't have that. PM Bruce Stone.

Please add myself and the wife to the reservation list.
Thanks, Marty
Posted by: Dave_Darling May 28 2013, 02:29 PM
Add me as well, if it's not too late. I don't think the wife can make it, she has another outing that probably won't be done in time for dinner.
At the swap, I'll be looking for black/white sun visors in very good condition for her car.

I will be looking for window cranks and a rear spoiler
Posted by: JimN73 May 28 2013, 06:57 PM
When we get there, do we ask for a chair at the Cap'n's table?
Posted by: Cap'n Krusty May 28 2013, 10:09 PM
Update! They don't take reservations on Friday and Saturday nights, but the nice girl said if I were to be there about a half an hour early we'd probably be seated by 7. I'm going for it ................... And I'll give 'em "The Cap'n" as the name, so there ................ Looking forward to this!

I'll be at the Holiday inn Express in Union city. $85.00, free breakfast.
Posted by: Jmedeiros May 29 2013, 09:55 PM
I just pulled the fan impeller off yesterday and when I was cleaning it, I noticed one of the fins was missing and another is cracked so, I'll be looking for one if any of you got one! :-) Lori & I will see you at dinner!
Posted by: Cap'n Krusty May 29 2013, 11:17 PM
We'll be at the Best Western on A street. 81 bucks plus tax, full breakfast included, although I don't think they serve it at 0 dark thirty. Close to Parts Heaven. We used to stay at the Motel 6, but it's farther away and not much cheaper.

I am an apartment dweller on 164th, just off of E14th. Not far off as the crow flies, but probably a whole different neighborhood chemistry

I don't think so. I didn't know who that was, so I looked him up on the 'net and I don't see any pictures that appear to resemble me, now or ever ................ I saw David Crosby the other day, and I don't look much like him anymore, either.

I've been in the storage garage most of the day and I'm bringing along virtually all the remaining Porsche parts I have. Found an as-new 3 port fuel pump (tested it for running today and it purrs as it should) and a late rain tray in almost perfect condition. No cracks, no torn holes. Lots of other goodies in boxes that have been unopened for a long time, including a set of NOS 1.7 high compression pistons and cylinders. Hard to find! Boxes of 356/912 and 911 parts, too. Most of the stuff will have blow-out prices and/or make me an offer so I don't have to store it anymore. See ya there!

For those who are still at home and haven't been to Buffalo Bills before, there is city parking behind the place and you can come in the back door or walk down the side with the patio seating.

my regrets for missing dinner. the afternoon's events conspired against me but, i still have another chance tomorrow!
i'll wear a dark green tee with a tangerine teener on the front. feel free to shake me from my daze to say hello (and chide me for missing dinner...).

Is there going to be a 914 corral like last year?
Posted by: Dave_Darling Jun 2 2013, 11:14 AM
No 914 corral. I've seen three fans so far, two next to the cap'n and one farther down.
Posted by: Steve Jun 2 2013, 12:46 PM
I had to do it!!
Posted by: dlkawashima Jun 2 2013, 07:03 PM
You want pictures? I have pictures.
Let's start with a VW Transporter. Nothing too unusual from this angle ...
But wait ..... what's that under the back seat?
It's a 3.2 liter six!
Cable shift linkage ...
Some other cars in the swap area:

Thanks Jim. Here are a few more pics of cars in the judging area:
The only 914 in the contest ... a very nice '71.
The owner's manual was signed by members of the Porsche family ...

But the 911 really ruled the day ... probably more 911s than all the other cars combined. Here are a few more examples:

The beige and blue speedsters in the display area were both type1 dual port powered kit cars! Very nicely done.

Had a nice day there,I was the guy asking for a front sway bar.
Posted by: Cap'n Krusty Jun 3 2013, 10:25 AM
Had a great time at dinner. Good food, enjoyable company, good beers and ales. My salad was outstanding, and the Alimony Ale tasty. Not hoppy enough, but nice nevertheless. Bruce Stone and I arrived at the swap meet site around 0630 and he was able to score seller spaces in the shade. Met a lot of nice folks during the course of doing biz and I ended up being the last seller to leave. Thanks to all those who helped me reduce the size of my parts stash. Still too much left, but I'm workin' on it! Ran into a tire delamination issue near lovely San Ardo (look it up!) on the way home and suffered a restful but irritating 2 hour delay waiting for AAA. All in all, a good trip, though.
Thanks to the good people of Parts Heaven for providing space and support for this event. Buy from them when you can. Tell Al or Spencer John Larson told you to call.
Might not do you any good, but it'll score points for me!
BTW, I got a good look at Bruce's amazing pedal cluster rebuilds, his sway bar kits, and other goodies. NICE STUFF! You may not be worthy, though. I suggest you beg him to sell you a refurbished pedal cluster.
Gotta go unload the Vanagon and straighten out the storage ....................

Something fishy about that owner's manual. The 7th Parade was in 1962, or thereabout, NOT 1977. A few years before the car was built and the manual was printed .................

Sorry I couldn't make it to the swap meet. Thanks for the picts.
My daughter went and scored some parts, still looking for a rear passenger side red lens. If anyone has an extra one at a fair price let me know in a pm. thanks.
