2022 Carlisle Ford Nationals

[Sharky]

I liked it. But I'm not typically going to buy stuff. I'm more interested in seing the work other ppl put into there cars. I can say the same about Ford Nationals though.... so its all about perspective I guess

before the covid BS, there were vendors there with just about everything needed to build a car. a lot of spectators were guys building cars & the swap meet area
also saw a lot of foot traffic. car owners that entered the show would buy new parts or the latest set up to install on their cars. this years event there was very little offered, you saw the building, it was maybe half full of vendors.
maybe the car hobby is dying ..........

Things are too expensive right now. It's easier to affrim your build half the time online. Then spend a big chunk of cash at one stand, I haven't really bought anything for my model A in a while and the mustang was almost 1500 for wheels and tires, 95 at a show for window/door and trunk seals, 20 for new seatbelt plastic covers. To get the mustang where I want it im gonna need about 20k thats with half ass paint job. On3 turbo, maximum motorsports complete suspension, txk is 3k . Model A will probably take another 25-30k to finish the right way. It bounces back and forth 08 sucked but 10 got better the trump years were some of the best for home projects and builders until the Rona.
