Did anyone go and get any good deals?
I got a 28-29 Model a front fender for $60 that's in really nice shape.

Yes and No, Snopro.
I went and got some old Hemi spark plug tubes for a 354, at quite a reasonable price. Small potatoes compared to the price I paid for some near perfect Model A front fenders, really near perfect. It turns out that at swap-meets I'm not very Scottish.
Did you get that fender that was outside, in with mostly Model T stuff?
Some of you guys up there school me please. $60 for a front fender...is that high low or medium price for ya'll? I see stuff in other areas that is always cheaper than here. Everybody thinks the parts they have here are made of gold. Once in a while I see some cheap stuff but not often. Usually the deals are done before you can get there. There is a current listing on CL for rear fenders for 28/29 for 100 apiece which is good for here...I'm sure fronts would be more ...
I had bought a handful of little things from that vender that had your fender but I didn't pay attention to that Model A piece in a lot of Model T stuff , until it was too late.
My set of fenders were leaning up against the north wall in the middle building, between the big doors going into the north building. I'm sure lots of people walked slowly by looking at the stuff on the tables and missed the neat things in the background.
The fenders that I found were really nice, in fact I have not found anything wrong with them that will need fixing. But, I don't dicker well so I paid his price and he probably had the fenders overpriced just so he could come down a wee bit. I paid too much but I won't have to do much sanding and they'll be ready to paint.
Snopro, I am also looking for rear fenders and running boards for a '29, so watch out.
