For Comvec, that would be a welcome change!! I have a buddy in England who is building a model M54 and I'd like to take some detail photos to answer some of his questions. Guess they don't have many M54's over there....

To those who didn't go because of the weather, you missed out! It didn't start raining until after 3pm and it was a great show. There was a non-MV Jeep wrecker that was superb, at least 4 M715s, lots of CUCVs and Deuces. There were a few custom rigs, a bobbed deuce that was done as a crew cab and a M715 that had tandom rear axles. Adding to the excitement was a model that I was told was posing for a calender for a local business.

When did all the vendors roll in? Werent too many there when I left to go to another show at 9:30..

 

[WarrenD]

Vendors seemed down, probably weather related. I only recall seeing 2 or 3 roll in after 9am.

 

[emmado22]

How many vendors reserved spaces but didnt show up?

 

[WarrenD]

Dunno, I'm just a peon.

 

[emmado22]

I hope COMVEC improves for next year.

My son and I had a ball, met some fine people and ate some good food. Arrived round 9, beat out the weather by 11. I could not have asked for a better morning with my 2yo.

Special thanks to the nice lady at the gate who gave Sam the truck stamps on his arms. He made sure to show them to mommy.
