Billetproof Florida - April 9, 2011

All I can say is WOW. That looks fantastic. Nice job and I'm looking forward to seeing it.

 

That photo of Von Loppy's wagon does no justice at all to how Bee-u-ti-ful that "sparkly" silver paint is.
Wait until you see it in person, bring your extra dark sunglasses, 'cause when the sun hits it, you'll go blind!!

 

love the location...moving to Ocala as we speak so happy that it won't be a far drive for me...have attended all the Michigan Billetproofs so excited to start attending the Florida ones as well

 

Any chance of starting this kind of show in the Savannah, GA area? Savannah is like the "Dead Zone" for everything car related. I am struggling to even get a Ford 5.0L engine rebuilt. Let alone build a Custom, or traditional car.

 

Here it is!

Glen, I'll be there as long as Alan will let me bring the HA/GR again this year. It does have new cast wheels on the front, but they are not billet!!!
Hopefully the weather will let me pull it out of the trailer and get it in the show this year.

Can't wait to see ya all

 

I'm bummed. Can't make it, heading back home around April 1st. I loved it last year, rain and all. I wish you could could move it up into March next year. A lot of people head back north around April 1st.

 

If this weather keeps up we are gonna have a great time....it was 81 in the shop yesterday..

 

So, are you coming this year?

 

Can't wait to see everyone this year, it's gonna be good.

 

I'm thinking about showing up

 

My brother's coming down from Atlanta... his first Billetproof.

 

Looking forward to meeting your brother mike..
