My buddy and I went last year. It was a pretty good time. I bought some stuff at the swap meet.
 
Im bringing a couple 340 blocks and steel cranks. Pair of bare J heads. Old fiberglass 6 pak hood and fiberglass trunk lid off my 70 Duster. 79 Lil Red Express grille and headlight buckets. And whatever else I can clean out of the shop that I think I can live without.
 
Might just bring one 340. Not sure I can live without the one I bought at 14 years old with lawn mowing money....

I might just buy that and hang it on my garage wall. I had one back in the eighties and have always wanted another!
 
Last year was the first time I went and I had a good time. Planning on making it again this year although my '71 Dart is nowhere close to done, I'll be there in my new Dart! I'm ready to scour the swap meet and see some Mopars.
 
I was working in Stockton Missouri last year and came to the show I bought all kinds of stuff and brought it back home to Chattanooga wish I could make it this year just too far from home for a one day event though
 
One of you guys need to bring a manual steering box with pitman arm and steering shaft for a 81 and newer D150.
 
I have never been, I want to go. I hope I can get my Duster running in time. Just a shortage of money thing.
 
Depending on how the wife is doing after she has shoulder surgery in March, I'm gonna try to make it again this year.

I was there last year with my orange Dart. Made several passes til my header blew out. Hopefully I can come back this year.
 
I've only been to Mo-Kan once and it was a long time ago. My cousin from LaMar took me. I'd love to go again.
 
Digging more parts out for swap meet

Corky (Walt jr.) Hermsen. He had an original '69 427 tri-powered Corvette that he finally sold a few years ago. Prior to that he had a '67 427 tri-powered Corvette that was stolen when he was in the service. He's in his mid 60s now.
 
One week away. Gonna make sure tonight or tomorrow I can get truck into enclosed and then be able to get out of the cab of the truck. With duster its no big deal but with truck I need a door in the driver side of trailer. I never planned on having my truck in the enclosed tho...... Might just have to ride in the trailer lol Let me out when we get there dad!
 
I swapped Saturdays with a guy so that I can be there. My engine is still in the machine shop so we'll be driving down in the SUV again this year, but we're still looking forward to it. This is what my Escape looks like, except that the hatch will be up and there will be two guys drinking beer out from under it!
