I would love to go but with my current adventure that went something like this
"1200.00 EACH! Holy ****! I could buy a complete EFI tunnel ram and a front coil over setup!" As overheard at the hearing and balance doctors office.

The Firebird one here sucked even worse than the years before! Same crap same vendors just higher prices! And the pleasure of being snowed on!

Next year though I hope to take a week off and join in on the fun.

We are regulars since 1975. It is now two swap meets with the PIR swap meet move in on Wednesday 04/07/10 and opens to the public Thursday 04/08/10. The Expo swap meet move in is on Thursday 04/08/10 and open to the public on Friday 04/09/10 and runs through Sunday.

We will be camped out on the PIR race track with 2-booths 417 & 418. PM me and I will give you my cell. Stop by and say hello. Dan

stahl 409 headers

Hi Folks,

I found a set of split stahl 409 headers. I know I would need too cut out the fender well to make these work on the 62.

My question is and I don't know if I spelled stahle correctly he's asking 400.00 for the set. Is this a good buy?

Thanks Ted

Yes, $400.00 for a set of Stahl Headers is a good deal. They are 1100.00 new. One thing to remember though is that they exit straight back.
