My son and I are going to the Ford swap meet on Sat. after Thanksgiving. We'll be meeting up with "88 Blackbird 5.0" for a purchase he got from me.

With any luck I'll be there are well. Hate to admit it but I haven't been there for several years. I've been very lucky to find most everything needed via other sources...still, I miss the ol' swap meet if for nothing else but the thrill of the hunt.

I'm hoping to go this year. Maybe I'll try to follow you guys up Ron.
Hey Blain, what spindles are you looking for? And do you still want the rear corner glass?

I went back in 2007 and bought all 3 1988 shop manuals for my tbird in mint cond for $45, not sure why I havent been back other than finding things on ebay and craigslist is easier.

I've been trying to locate a set of 94-95 spindles for ages now to finish my 5 lug swap, I may have a good chance at a set ending today on ebay but if not thats my next option.

And yes I'd love that glass, I'm not sure why the moons never line up for us to actually complete the sale lol, I can paypal it from you this weekend or we could meet up at the expo center, your choice.

I'll just bring the glass with me. Hopefully nothing happens that I can't go. I'll let you know closer to it if I'm able to go 100% or not. Then We'll have to swap cell phone numbers so we can hook up.
If you were looking for TC spindles I could hook you up, that's why I was asking.

I'm unaware of the tc spindles, I'll have to look up some info on them... I have 13 inch brakes spec'd for a 04 cobra already thats why I was looking for a 94-95 only.

Ill let you know

I was outbid at the last 5 seconds of the auction, they sold for $140 plus 25 shipping, I bought these right after for 149 free shipping. Hopefully theyre legit.

man, it sure wasnt like it was back in the day, junkyard booths were charging near retail for rusted/ used items.

Probably the last time I go.

The all Ford swaps have been over priced for a while now. Every now and then you find a deal. I just like going to look around. Hopefully I'll get to go in the spring.

I don't know, I did pretty good. Actually spent more at Summit Racing on the way home than I did at the swap meet...and got more stuff at the swap meet.

Maybe its because I am only interested in tbird specific things used. Since I have the five lug and cobra rims already, all my mustang go-fast parts come from summit or jegs new.

What event is in the spring, Jay?

At the same place, I think it's Easter weekend. By the way I didn't get a truck. I couldn't get the deal I needed to get one. This time next year if I decide to I'll be able to get one. I'll be a full rate at work then.
