First time I was able to ever make it to the buggy builders show. I had a great time picking through the piles of stuff for gems. Scored a couple Mickey Thompson Mini Mag tires never used, exhaust parts, various cables, nuts and bolts, etc.
How did those of you who attended make out?

I picked up a bunch of smalls too. Copper plated exhaust nuts, clutch wing nut, throttle cable, etc..
It was a good time. I wish I would have been able to make it sooner so I could have nabbed one of the 094 transmissions. Oh well. I did run across a guy there who I recognized at another show. I think I got a transmission lined up...maybe. Not very interested if it is a five speed. I would prefer the four speed. I'll find out for sure what it is soon. Hopefully a four speeder.

Still, for the money... Is the diff in useable shape? If so, that was an amazing score in my book!
