awesome weekend!!!

[Low87]

This weekend was a blast! I didn't win the T/A, it went to some deserving redneck.
Dave came in Friday night, after a few beers we went to work on the frame and got some more cleanup done. Saturday we went redneck people watching at the T/A giveaway, saw some dude with a dressed up mannequin riding with him in his car on the way. Finally made it down to Dallas about 7:00 and ate the worst ass flavored BBQ ever. Thanks Izzy!
After getting lost thanks to Dave's bro-in-law's killer directions, we made it to the swap meet about 11:00 on Sunday. Sold lots of stuff before I even unloaded it, then it was pretty dead.
I had arranged to buy a 383 from a Southen Bowties guy, helluva deal on a short block. He even threw in a chrome oil pan, chrome dipstick, chrome Edelbrock valve covers, and the timing chain cover. You guys will never guess how cheap I got this 383 for. Less than 5k miles on the build, 010 4 bolt block. I need to get it off the tire and on to an engine stand before I can really give it a good once over.
We started walking around and ran into a guy with brand new Dodge bucket seats, one was still plastic wrapped. Dave asked how much, we expected $250-300, the guy said $125!!! I offered $100 and got them for $110. They even came with the seatbelts.
All in all a very fun time. Next year we'll definitely have to make it down Friday night so we can be there Saturday. I had too much stuff I couldn't get rid of on Sunday!
Thanks to Brandon for some great brisket! Scott, it was good to meet you!
