Bought this today at the Moultrie meet. Full canister, 30#

They were asking $200, talked them down to $160.

My guess is it ought to be worth 10x that amount, but, I really think they didn't know what they had or what they were doing.

Deals like this are why swap meets are relevant, and, why you don't just buy everything on facepage or amazon

yeah, I'll be going to the Lonestar Roundup in a couple weeks, a good local one but the show specializes in pre-'63 so a lot of the commercial vendors are that niche
not going to be able to go to Pate this year in FtWorth

Not really much but grabbed up another spare (rebuilt?) Q-Jet & two eight packs of NOS USA made AC plugs for Jr.'s car. Almost got a spare header panel for mine but there was too much damage for me to want another one that needs work.

Still trying to work out the hot start issue, got in a P24HD but the terminals were opposite of what I want. So had to do a bunch of looking around, they are going to try to get me a 94R for tomorrow which should have 800CCA so I am hoping that and the size increase should stop the issue.

Had my steering wheel reworked along with the plate for the lightning rod shifter. Craft customs in Texas did the work. Now I know it’s not oem with the stripe but they also never came in Sheffield grey, so I think it’s a terrific option and great craftsmanship.

Ever since I got the 8.8 I had some internal struggles with how I wanted to finish it out. The rear had your typical inboard drag style coil over mounts and backyard special LCA mounts.
The coil over mounts would not work for me because the exhaust. I have the Hooker Black Heart 3” kit. I have no interest in rebuilding or changing that up.
So ultimately after talking to the guys at TRZ I decided on their LCA mount with the shock bracket. So placed the order and had it here a couple days later.
My next dilemma was for the ARB/sway bar.
I would love run a nice juicy ARB and I know a ton of people street drive with them but I really like to drive this thing as much as possible. I ordered a CPP sway bar. From the way it mounted it seems to be the only option that will clear the exhaust.
Hopefully I get that soon. I plan to try and swap the LCA mounts sometime this week.
