We had a record turnout of entries, vendors and swap meet participants this year. &nbsp;My seat of the pants estimates for Saturday would be around 33-3400 cars, maybe a few more than last year. The layout this year allowed for more cars and space and so we did not have the Fire Marshal shutting down the entrance because the fire lanes were blocked like last year. The weather was absolutely beautiful for the entire weekend, clear blue skies and temps in the low 80s, frankly it was a Arizona Chamber of Commerce weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately this year I was not able to make the Thursday Shop Tours, so please excuse the lack of coverage.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Remember to mouse or swipe over the image to bring up the Slide Show Controls!<\/h5>\n<p>Friday &#8211;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><code>\n\n<link rel='stylesheet' href='https:\/\/othg-phoenix.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/wow-slider-plugin\/19\/style.css' type='text\/css' media='all' \/>\n<!-- Name: 01 - Friday OTHG-Phoenix  -->\n\n<!-- Start WOWSlider.com BODY section -->\n<div id=\"wowslider-container19\">\n<div class=\"ws_images\"><ul>\n\t\t<li><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/othg-phoenix.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/wow-slider-plugin\/19\/images\/2015_gg_sw_nat_000.jpg\" alt=\"2015 GG SW Nat_000\" title=\"2015 GG SW Nat_000\" id=\"wows19_0\"\/><\/li>\n\t<\/ul><\/div>\n\n\t<a href=\"#\" class=\"ws_frame\"><\/a>\n\t<div class=\"ws_shadow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- End WOWSlider.com BODY section -->\n\n\n<script type='text\/javascript' src='https:\/\/othg-phoenix.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/wow-slider-plugin\/19\/script.js'><\/script>\n\n<\/code><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Friday is typically my day for the Swap Meet and visiting the Vendors both of which seemed to be larger than I can ever remember in the past. &nbsp;The Car Corral was huge this year with some really decent buys to be had. &nbsp;Paul Nolte sold the &#8217;34 Ford three window project car by 10 AM on Saturday which is good because he had bought back the &#8217;29 Rat Rod that he had sold last March.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><code>\n\n<link rel='stylesheet' href='https:\/\/othg-phoenix.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/wow-slider-plugin\/20\/style.css' type='text\/css' media='all' \/>\n<!-- Name: 02 - Friday Swap Meet & Show  -->\n\n<!-- Start WOWSlider.com BODY section -->\n<div id=\"wowslider-container20\">\n<div class=\"ws_images\"><ul>\n\t\t<li><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/othg-phoenix.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/wow-slider-plugin\/20\/images\/2015_gg_sw_nat_026.jpg\" alt=\"2015 GG SW Nat_026\" title=\"2015 GG SW Nat_026\" id=\"wows20_0\"\/><\/li>\n\t<\/ul><\/div>\n\n\t<a href=\"#\" class=\"ws_frame\"><\/a>\n\t<div class=\"ws_shadow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- End WOWSlider.com BODY section -->\n\n\n<script type='text\/javascript' src='https:\/\/othg-phoenix.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/wow-slider-plugin\/20\/script.js'><\/script>\n\n<\/code><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The swap meet was also packed with sellers and buyers, I didn&#8217;t run across anything that I had to have so I went into the tent and bought a pair of stock height spindles&nbsp;from Fatman&nbsp;and a March Performance serpentine belt drive system for the LS3 in my 1940 project.
