Howdy Hub.....
Come on, ya really think I would leave out us more rounded guys? It was a late-night run Thursday night, the shirts were delivered to my door step at 10:45 PM in Lg., X-Lg, & XX-Lg to take this AM. Had a good time meeting all the folks, nice bunch of guys, but wish there had been a bit more advertising & it was a little hard to find for some vendors.
I did get hooked up on a National "Apex" 30 in Green porcelain panels & face bezal in killer condition. Even the base was in great shape, but I didn't get it down like Dick did, as I had to cart it off home!

Are you sure it's your table Ted? I don't see any Barley pops like you had at Fred's. Oh yeah, Hubba's not there to buy any cans!!! LOL
Re: Escalon Gas Bash - Sat Mar 06 2004 05:21 AM
Hey Tom...Me thinks the empties are discretely hidden in that grey box under the table...LOL. You know I would have a cold one and buy some cans if I was there...LOL Elden Buddie..save a XXL for me if ya can...too cool.

On the left is Mike Micelson (motormanoil) and old Dwaine on the right. Ted
This was John O'herns space getting a lot of attention with some always quality items.
Even got Dick Bennet looking.
The deal of the day. Butch had a wad of money because Dwaine had that original 1990's Sinclair Aircraft 12 inch for sale for $500 and Butch Greer on the left had the cash. Bargain after ebay seller got $611. Right after the show Butch was going to Dwaines to buy his ocean front property.
Here are Butch and Nancy Greer hard at work.

Had a great time. Jack Swisegood says he will do it again. Great place if the weather is good. I will post some pictures of Jacks collection later. Tom I didn't even pack any silver bullets but I didn't go dry. People just kept putting them in my hands. I'll have some at Freds for everyone that comes by. Fred Stoke and a couple friends came by to see my collection after Friday and guess what. I have 4 cans Fred doesn't have. What are the chances of that. Ted
