    I’ll be going to Jefferson with GTO Man so I’ll keep an eye out for one too. There will be more meets later this summer like Iola in July, hopefully we’ll be able to find one. This might sound kind of obvious but have you checked ebay?

    Thanks,

    Yep, I saw one like that, except that it was a dark green. I looked around for the guy that owned that vendor spot to see if I could get a phone number or something for you but he was nowhere to be seen.. icon_sad.gif I’ll keep my eyes open though for you. BTW what are you thinking of using them for?

    How’s Grayslake compare in size to Jefferson?

    Grayslake is maybe 1/2 size to Jefferson Normally, If we get a lot of people, it can get pretty big. Grayslake is also only a 1-day show (Sunday).

    Well having it only 1 day makes a difference too, draws a higher concentration of people because its only 1 day. Sounds fun! thumbsup.gif

    I like going there. It’s about an hour drive and I get to see parts that come from people that don’t go to Wisconsin. Nice way to spend a morning.
