It is fun hanging out with him and watching him drink all of Charlie and Jays beer. He is a cheap form of entertainment. I will miss him.
Maybe, next year

I checked with all three with no luck. Seems clamshell parts are scarce as hen's teeth.

Lots of the national venders have spaces. Lots of independent vendors, some from out of state. Come on down and be sure to stop by and say howdy. http://www.wcaac.com/dsm.htm

I decided I must have been at the wrong space. Anyway, it was the first time I had ever been to the Decatur meet and it was a good one! Made the 4 1/2 hour drive from San Antonio and back worth it. Found lots of AD parts!!!
