Was watching one of the early 2025 swap meet videos and the commentator noted that for next year the scooters would no longer be allowed to tow trailers. Wonder how the buyers are going to deal with having to move body metal or drive train components, or even an entire project vehicle without some way to handle it. Maybe put in back lanes in between the rows for vehicles to come and go to pick up the large stuff. Vendors won't like losing sales because the buyer can't wait for the end of the day to score their pick. Maybe somebody with a hay wagon and an old tractor doing a pick up and deliver to the gate?
As for that triple blower stacked 58 Chevvie, I knew I had seen it somewhere, and the video is one of Dave Newbern's from his You Tube Channel, "12 Volt Dave". The video is titled "Battle in 'Bama" and Cotton blows it up, which is a reference to that Disco Pink Mirada that Mike? Cotton bought from the Motor Trend Fleet around about the time that Motor Trend cut its video publishing throat. A lot of the project cars did manage to make it into the hands of some of the hosts so they can live on; better than being sold for salvage or squashed F********* California smog b*****s*****. Anyhow, the Chev was actually on the conservative side as there were a few far more outrageous examples of engineering excessivity on hand as well.

the last 2 times I went to Pate I pulled my own wagon and threw stuff in. for the bigger stuff, you pay the vendor, make a note of the vendor spot and come back near the end of the day. all the swap meets have volunteers manning golfcarts with beds or trailers to haul big stuff out to your vehicle. the other smaller swap meets I usually park close enough I can wander over and throw stuff inside then go back to the meet.
