I have seen a few good sized vendors bail out on the big shows. They can make more money by staying home and selling online..
One vendor I know talked about how much it cost him to vend at the Nats or Carlisle. Thousands of dollars invested and you have to sell a lot of re-pop screw kits and radio knobs to make up that cost. 3 trucks with enclosed trailers, lot's of fuel, a week's lodging for 4-6 people. Food for 4-6, rent a huge tent, side curtains are extra, Vender booth spaces, (they usually rent 6-8), and all the set up and tear down. Oh, at least 2 days to pull the merchandise and pack it before you leave and then put it away when you get back home. Nuff said.

You really have to applaud Layson's for continuing to show up at the Nationals from the West coast. What many may not know, is they hang around the area after the Mopar Nationals, and show up at MoparFest, New Hamburg, Ontario, the next weekend. It must be a paperwork nightmare going back and forth across the border. With recent developments between our countries, I doubt that Layson's will make the trip into Canada anymore.
Laysons no longer comes to Moparfest. I talked to them 2 years ago at Carlisle and the customs hassles were too much for them.

Thanks to new Government intervention/changes.( not political).
Come to Pa Pa. I need to soak these to loosen them up a bit. No worries.
I might give this one a try. It's a new design from Gary Pavlovich. It looks like the old Weiand.

Which model doesn't have the bright lights in the grill?? Mine does.
All 64's do except the Max Wedge cars.

Only the Hemi cars lost the hi beams.
Probably so. I did the same with a LD4B for my Swinger. Nope, I don't need an aluminum intake and 4 barrel on that car. The stock stuff works too well. I rebuilt the carb on my 64 and it works well. The intake I just bought may get sold at a swap meet if I decide not to put it on. I bought it cheap enough. It's one of the newly made copys of the old Weiand. It's just too bad it isn't a dual plane. That's what most of us want. I know they are a lot tougher to cast because they are complex.Once you start modding... you will start liking it less.. just saying

My car started life as a 6 cylinder car and was converted to a race car many years ago (by previous owners). If you look closely, you can see that the two inner lights were removed

I always loved the candy cane/barber pole stripes on the old nostalgic mopar race cars.
I think there was only 1 Candymatic car in 63. All the rest were lettered with the Ramchargers logo.
