It is a good show to go to. But, I agree, don't pay for anything and expect it to be shipped later. I was one on the two that was 'abused' by a vendor form KY selling rear end center sections. I finally did get my money back, but it wasn't until November. I cannot remember the other guy that was in the same situation that I was, but thanks to him for the guidance and the phone number of the County DA in KY that got the money back to me.
I'm going again this year (Driving from St. Louis to get there) and looking for another rear end center section, and will only take from on-hand stock!
