  The Portland Swap Meet just gets more unbelievable every year.... it may have even outpaced the famous Pomona swap meet.... mainly because Portland is truly all Hot Rod, Muscle Car, and Classic parts .... none of the newer stuff has moved in. There are 4500 vendor spaces at the Expo center and that isn’t enough room so there is also a second swap meet at Portland International Raceway which is just about a half mile or so away.... Now that’s a lot of PARTS ! Jack found some of the parts he needs so he was happy. Problem is... swap meets are a few times a year and we need to buy and sell parts all year long....
   Another thing that makes Portland a “must go” for us is that it is one of the few times during the year that we get to have dinner with our “Hot Rod M.D.” Jim Clark. This time we were joined by Dave Brackett who has some real “history” in both our Hot Rod Industry and the motorcycle industry as a designer and builder of many really awesome 2 wheeled creations. We’ll have some articles soon from Dave so stay tuned...... he’s a great guy and very interesting and talented.
   Jim is working on several articles for the Hot Rod M.D. too... he has a great story coming up on a new method for cutting curved glass using a water jet system... very interesting and a great innovation for our industry.... Watch for more from the Hot Rod MD soon.  And.. if you need some great tech advice for your project, you can buy books and really great instructional DVD’s from www.HotRodLibrary.com

We built our ’32 and ’34 Ford Tudors to join in the fun at the same shows you see us working.
