Re: [T3] Antenna

["Nathan Jacobsen" <syncroman@wa.freei.net>]

Those antennae nuts can be a real pita if they get corroded at all. Left is
loose and right is tight. You can still pick these up for about ten to
fifteen bucks, and the price is worth it if you're having stuck nut
problems. If the metal around the hole in the fender isn't torn, you can get
a universal body dolly for about ten bucks, put it underneath the fender and
tap with a hammer from above to straighten the metal.

Hey Eric...
according to the flyer I have....flea market space(10ftw X 20ftd) is $35.00..I think this includes you. Regular admission is $15.00
Maple Grove is a great place. HUGE used parts area in a grassy field. There is also a grove of trees you can go into to get out of the sun. Good view from the seats of the track too.

Do you have a good rear bumper for the 69? How 'bout a non-rotted front torsion tube assembly w/ good ball joints? Fully intact drivers seat? If you have this stuff and can not bring it maybe we could arrange it at a later date..I'm in Philly.

Trying to arrive @ maple Grove around 8:30...

How do I find )–‌¸Any one who can make it should go. This show is WAY nicer than the ATCO show next month (the HOTTEST place on this planet...and no grass or trees...)
