Thanks for the info. Sorry it got a little sideways.
My cars not done, or I would definitely work to do both., and Woodward. At this point, the great parts hunt continues.

 No need for you to apologize for others actions. Good luck in the parts hunt.

If you go to Kenosha check here and on local craigslist there will be people having "garage sales" many parts available that might not make it to the swap meet. Also post a add here for items you want, be carefull of scams though.

Kenosha Homecoming or Detroit AMO? My answer is, Yes Please! I'll take both. I bought the airline tickets today and will be roaming around couch surfing between the shows. So three weeks in the Midwest. Flying into O'Hare on July 24 and meeting friends flying in from Sweden, we rent a car and drive to Kenosha for the first week. Then off on the train to visit friends in Lake Zurich, IL-Rochester, IN-Lansing, MI. Then the AMO in Detroit and flying home to San Diego on Aug 14. The plane ticket was less than $500. Culver concrete, here I come :)

I would say Kenosha.  But I would not expect to find any very choice NOS parts as they dried up 20 years ago- since then it all goes on Ebay.  I'm not saying there won't be anything good, but don't expect too much if you're looking for NOS AMX, Machine, Javelin, SC/Rambler stuff.  If you're looking for small parts that spread across many models, then maybe you'll have luck.

Fuel prices had better start going the other way or they might change my plans. I'll be burning probably a minimum of 500 gallons of diesel for the trip east and back :(

Talked to Joe (71 SC360) today, and both of us are sticking close to home this year. See you some time in the future hopefully.

@ $2.26 a litre (and going up daily) up here in communist Canada for diesel and a 130ish liter tank on my truck the hurt is real. That works out to $6.62 USD/USG :((
