Just announced via Email. Is this like many other MAFCA purchases where a charge for using a credit card is assessed? Joe K

Epping Antique Auto Flea Market today. There at 6:45 a.m. to about four rows of cars parked, but an active crowd. Gentleman entering at the same time I was was smoking my father's cigar - the year about 2000 since I've smelled that. As I said to him "Cigar smoking not too often seen...

Getting ready to head into a roof for the "Avatar" (29 CC Pickup) Confronting the $620 plus for EIGHT pieces of wood. Many have asked previous about patterns or "drawings" of these pieces of hardwood. So yes, I guess I'm looking to "bypa$$" the process. But I am a talented woodworker with a...

no longer available from Travis Cook. It is understandable as Travis reports he has trouble getting stock, and to produce a Model A spring to "Ford standard" is difficult - and he's not getting any younger. So the pursuit is continued to "alternates." It is amazing what non-conforming...

Bought today at Epping Antique Auto Flea Market. Blasted & primed - missing center crossmember (was scheduled for a "boxing" but the Owner decided to go a different way.) And one can still read the May 1929 numbers. Nice & stiff & straight. Not twisted a bit. Pick up opposite corners...

On a former thread I mentioned that some had reported that "reverse wound" bendix springs had been seen. I've heard of this but have no idea of application or even if they are Model A. And until recently it really wasn't a concern to me. I was recently gifted a box of 8 springs. Five of...

Field dry - (like most everything else right now) Lower Field (usual spot) about 90 percent full. Nobody in the upper field. About 1/3 "Auto memorabilia." Half of that old (oil cans, 1950s era goodies) Half "new reproduction." Several "fuzzy dice" sellers. About half the show is "post...

Seems like it is still on. August got cancelled seemingly due to "condition of the field." I didn't hear the 5 am cancellation that day, went, and found the day sunny and the field dry. I didn't stick around as the word was passed "mouth to mouth" onsite about the cancel. Status shows...

For years I've been working on my Model A (see avatar.) Most of this work I've done using the usual demolition and reconstruction guides including Rick Freeman's Shop Manual, Victor Page's "The Model A Ford" period book, the various "How to Restore Your Model A" series and the sometimes...

I had the pleasure of having my Ford Ranger Airbag Module being replaced in a recall yesterday. One hour scheduled to do the work and the truck is back in service with no hitches. While waiting the hour, I chanced upon the book "The Ford Century" which was on the coffee table in the waiting...

Attended the Epping Dragway flea market this morning. Parking was nearer the main road which surprised. The flea market stalls were nearer the back and to the left almost in parallel with the strip. The field seems to have dried out for the summer. Probably five rows of sellers. Perhaps...

I've prepared a couple of engine blocks (at least) at this point in my life. Yunno - gutting the block out, measuring all the parts, finding out how bad the engine rebuilder is going to cut into your wallet to make it "right." Previously I have struggled with removing the head studs. I've...

This Sunday April 28. First Flea Market of the year. It is reported that Epping, NH New England Dragway Swap Meet is taking the place of the now under land development and defunct Amherst, NH Antique Auto Flea Market. I went a couple of times last year. I was under the impression that...

I was fortunate to pick up a Rayfield "RIF" carburetor recently. Does anyone know anything about these? It seems to have a "pump" circuit similar to the Tillotson F1B. Joe K

Listing for a friend Carl who is not computer savvy. 1930 Model A Fordor. Restored 1990s. Garaged always and used lightly for ice cream, club get-togethers, and some touring. Good mechanical condition, presents well, currently inspected and registered. Title can be produced. Asking $11000...

Got to the flea market (what it is really) and found it much improved over two years ago when I went. Instead of a bunch of guys with stuff on a single N-S row, there was about 10 E-W rows with most of the available spaces taken. Only a couple of empty spots in the last (northernmost) row...

Well, thanks to the good eye of a Fordbarn member (who saw my lament on Amherst, NH swap show) I am now the proud owner of four "needful of restoration" wheels and tires in 19" 1930-31 style (no rolled edge) As these are intended for primarily "roll-around" service (they may morph into parade...

Amherst, despite a partial resurrection in 2016 appears OUT for 2017. Castaway Farm in Candia, despite a 2016 partial *something* (they did have household flea market irregularly) in 2017 appears OUT. New England Dragway appears IN on the last Sunday of each month. Car sales fee ($20) and...

Not sure which is the better show/flea market for tomorrow? Joe K (Seacoast NH)

So did anyone take in the resurrected Flea Market and how did it go? Joe K Who sat this one out as he went to Bernardston, MA yesterday.
