I was curious about the Chevy/Corvette Fest. I take it that its both a car show and swap meet? Any comparison to Carisle other than there Chevys other than Vettes there?

78 Vette

To far for me :sad:

SLVRVET

Saturday looks pretty busy for me. I plan to be at the V-Fest on Sunday. This will be my first trip to the fest. Not sure what to expect.

Stewart's74

This will be my 4th time.
I have made some great contacts there. These contacts have saved me hundreds of dollars while restoring my 74.
The Swap meet part is hit or miss. Know what you need in detail. There is plenty of junk.
Most of the big vendors have booths there and most have show specials. Ecklers, MidAm, Corvette Central, Al Knoch VB&P etc.
Last year I scored big on weatherstrip. Cha Ching!
Yes trere are other Chevys there other than Vettes.
Overall, I'd say it is a good event. Not great like a Carlisle. :thumbs:

What I do:
MAke a list of stuff you need. Look up the items price on line. Before going to the show. This way you can comparison shop and know if you are getting a deal

I can't make it this time, but can someone pick up an Eckler's catalog with the discount code on it. I need to order some expensive parts and could use the discount code ( usually 10%). I will post after the show to see if I can get a discount code from a forum member.

Thanks in advance! :D Greg :cheers:

Stewart's74

Dont quote me but I believe you have to place the order at the show for a discount.

76greg

You can usually place an order using a discount code until a cutoff date usually one or two weeks after the show. I have done this before. With Mid America Designs sometimes you get a discount of 10% and free shipping if you order at the show, but if you order after the show you only get the 10% off for a limited time.
