We went to Lebanon Valley dragway the other day and at the swap meet we picked up an original 32 ford headlight bar complete with nice headlights and her Bob Drake stainless V spreader bar (new in the box) all for a mere $180. So we get home and I look up a 32 ford headlight bar and headlights on ebay and they are going for around $300 ($100 for the bar and $200 for the lights). Then I looked up what Drake gets for the V bar and I almost crapped myself...$140!! So $440 worth of stuff for $180 not too bad. Then I picked up 2 sets of valve covers (Chevy script and olds rocket) couple dings in the chevy valve covers but the olds rockets are near perfect. Should do well on those too. Not bad for a small swap meet. It helps pay for my addiction...I mean hobby.
".......So sanded it all down and resprayed. ......" Been there. done that on a couple of paint jobs over the years. Usually took me a couple of days to get over being mad before I started...
