That's been 25% of the vendors for at least 10 years.
So I stop going to swap meets for a while, and y'all let everything go to pot.

Millennials just keep wrecking all the good stuff... someone needs to take em behind a wood shed

Have to wonder - would there be ANY market for original metal - 75-79 X and 78-86 A/G cars, at these Carlisle / Hershey meets? Or just a bunch of looky - loos? A major commitment of time and money to go that distance up there - 2000 miles aprox. Maybe Pate (TX), Charlotte (NC) auto fair, or Iola (IA) would be better bets??

I think your pricing matters as much as what you bring. Iowa probably needs the metal the most, but I wager are cheap as heck based on comments from the locals there.

Texas has lots of rust free stuff. So do the states around NC.

Yep all good points. Post ‘74 metal simply doesn’t have the appeal or value of earlier original stuff. Unfortunate but likely the truth. Probably will try Pate in a year or two, a lot less expense and risk.

If you were going to come east, depending on the price I would be a serious buyer for some c/k series sheetmetal, maybe multiple sets of some... again, depending on price and it being true gm original panels.
