Yes, once again $2016 Challenge participants are invited to use the event as a place to offload parts. Have some stuff cluttering up the garage? Bring it! Some fool/creative soul might be looking for that very widget. Synergy!

How does this work?

Step 1: Place "for sale" items in your car before the event.

Step 2: Once at the event, place said items in your paddock space along with a "for sale" sign.

Step 3: Profit.

If you have any questions, or think that you'll need extra space, let us know.

You can see some of the expected items here.

Thank you and see you in Gainesville soon.

Not sure, but I have a few bins of stuff that I haven't touched in years.

Could be. That would be awesome.

We discussed a dedicated sales area, but I think that most people would rather have all of their stuff together--Challenge car, Challenge parts, parts for sale. So, yeah, bring some stuff if you'd like.

We have been battling Cobble together 30 year old wiring and fuel injection problems on a Chevy 350 with TPI. RIGHT NOW WE'RE in need of a ESC MODULE.

I think the simplest thing to do is to convert the damned old car over to a carb. Anybody with parts needed for that conversion should bring them to the swap meet. We are likely customer. Obviously we'll need carb, manifold, ignition, linkage etc.

In reply to wheels777:

Thanks 777... We may be on the cusp of sorting out a 27 year old TPI system on a 1989 L98. But we're following behind and trying to fix a cobbled up system after god knows how many shade tree, green toothed peckerwood mechanics have laid their hands on it (including us, LOL). Would really appreciate your suggestions at the challenge on what direction we should take.
