Hershey Advice?

[jcsjcs]

Hey all -

I am in the process of doing a bunch of upgrades and am curious about people's experience with Hershey acquisitions.

I am looking for:
Cat Bypass
Steve Wong Chip
Strut Brace
Sway / Torsion Bars
Bushings
Turbo Tie Rods
etc.
Also need to lower the car!

Is Hershey a good place to aquire parts like this OR is more geared towards restoration stuff?

Need to decide how much $$$ to bring....

Thanks - jcsnyc

I'm fairly certain you could build a car from parts purchased at Hershey. So, bring lots of $$$.

If you've never been then go. They have a ATM on site also.

everything you want will be there, the tough part will be finding them and buying them before someone else does. every year i roam every aisle several times and always find something else that i missed the trip before.

as others have said, bring lots of cash and be sure to be able to make change! i hear the hollywood casino is near the park, so any leftover money will have a place to be spent. i'll be there saturday night and (hopefully) doing the autocross on sunday.

Great advice. I plan to bring extra cash and have a short (long?) list of items I "need".

Next big question:
Can I fit torsion and/or sway bars in a 84 Targa for the drive home (if I am able to pick up a pair???) or do I need to bring the SUV .

No idea on size outside of car.

Torsion bars - no problem. Sways will fit but may have to go between seats or at an angle - I'm sure they will fit. Bring lots of rags/old sheets/garbage bags to wrap them in - they may be greasy.

I live close to Hershey and if anyone would need something shipped home I'd be willing to take care of that. Of course pay for the shipping and buy me a beer at Troggs brewery as a nominal fee. PM me and I'll forward contact info

Anyone know what time they let us in? I'm asking everywhere and no one is answering

The doors open for vendors at 6:30. I've heard it's open at 7:30 for everyone else but don't quote me on that...

I read that they let you in at 7AM

[catuck]

Thanks guys. I saw on their web site 6:30 for venders. Guess I'll get there around 7:30.

Official answer from Central PA PCA: 7am.

keep in mind 90% of parts at Heshey are used / recycled parts .. i thats what you want you are good to go .. You never know what you are goung so see at Hershey ... lasyt year saw 2 completre CIS systems with runners andeverythuing .. mint .. and a Carrare Gt V-10 engine .. you just never know..

[jcsjcs]

Can I put that Carrera GT V-10 engine in my 84 Targa? Beers to anyone who helps me get it done in the Hershey parking lot!

Iceman - definitely clear will be a lot of used parts. I am ready to buy new if I can't pick parts up at Hershey. Hoping to see some vendor discounts as well???

Bought a brand new strut brace for $100.00 last year. Also lots of good deals at the end
