Been to Billet Proof 5 times at Big Daddy's . Great show , museum is worth the door every time. Can't say about the Mopar show as I seem to miss it each year.
 
Last year it was hot me and the kid were dumping ice cold bottled water on our heads ha ha. Great show tho, I plan on being there this year. Sometimes you can find some nice deals at the swap. I found some trim people wanted near $90.00 on ebay for $5.
 
It's the "Mopar Nationals" of the South.

Weather can be 38 degrees or 98 degrees, or anywhere in between.
 
been there three years in row, missed it last year due to my discproblem but this year tickets to FL are bought, looking forward to meet you guys.
 
I was thinking of vending, how's the turnout ?
Lots.

Some years you can spend the majority of the day in the swap meet area without ever seeing a show car.

Bring someone to mind your store while you browse.
 
well mopar sal let us know ,would like to meet up with a fellow newyorker,i go every year,like said above cold to hot,brink a jacket just in case,mark
 
I have not been there since 1997 but would love to go again. It was a great show then and I'm sure it is probably as good or better now.
I ran into Garlits at the Mopar Nats in 97 and he invited me to his show after inspecting my 60 Dart Phoenix. My wife & I made the trip and we both enjoyed it. There was plenty to see and do with all the festivities. The show, the swappers, the museum were all great. Plus Big Daddy gave us a tour of his shop and was selling off some of his excess Hemi parts left over from some of his swamp rat dragsters. He is a very personable guy who won't be around forever so if you get a chance to meet him, you won't be disappointed. I'm not much of a trophy guy but we ended up with three trophies from the show. The Dart won 2nd place in its class on Saturday that is participant voting and 1st place in its class on Sunday that is judged by the Florida Mopars club. The 3rd trophy was for longest distance award. I think it was about 1200 miles and a two day trip that was nice on the way down but we went through all 4 seasons on the two day trip back to Wisconsin. I recall the last 100 miles was glare ice and took about 3 hours. Can't make it this year but maybe the Charger will be up for late fall run next year. That will be the 30th anniversary since 97 was the 10th. Have fun, I'm sure you will enjoy it.

Wish I could make it with my hunks of junk. Not likely though - and the I95 from West Palm Beach down is suicidal.

I am going Saturday and possibly Sunday if any one is going stop by and say hello.
