Who is going to Billetproof Detroit?

We have 3 cars leaving from Dexter. We would prefer to stay off the expressway. We could meet at Territorial and 23.
Don

 

I don't know, but thanks for the offer.

I am rewiring the entire car since I need some more circuits and lights to be working to get the car to pass safety. Turn signals, electric wiper motor and all that.

I am actually converting to electric wipers using the leftover S10 wiper motor. I have to get some bushings and am using the original motor for a pivot after I remove the guts.

I am getting some real milage out of that S10 parts truck.

I did just pick up a very nice rad from a 51' that I have to make some new mounts for so it will work.

 

I will be there just looking as I will be bringing a trailer to pick up goods I bought on the east side of the state several months ago.
This will be my 3rd Billetproof and it is a great show. Hope to meet some of the HAMB people. Gary M.

 

Hey guys!!! Don't forget about the burnout contest!!!!

 

I will be glad if I make it there. I have to leave at 4am to get there at opening.

 

It looks as if we are gonna have a roadster in it this year, I am gonna haul some tires and a jack just for the occasion. -Joe

 

we will be there, have an appoitment to get the car striped

can't wait especially since we couldn't make last yrs.

 

There are a ton of burnouts living in the area, so competition is sure to be fierce.

BTW, 53-4 wipers are different than 49-52. Chevy moved to a cable system from a rod system. They may have changed as early as 51. Go to the "old car manual project" (tocmp.com ?) and find the 49-54 chevy manual to verify. The two aren't interchangeable. You would probably have to get the entire setup, wiper transmissions and all, to make it work.

 

I'm going to have to sit this year out......my tires are kinda on the new side.

Would someone please handcuff me to the fence or something and NOT let me get tempted. Really can't afford to purchase new rubber right now.

 

Here it is... Wipers changed in 53.

I plan to be there striping again.

Danimal, bring your booy over to the jam pavallion and you can probable get several stripers to lay a line or two on his cast...

Tim

 

You guys are making me all teary eyed wishing I could go. Flew into Flint last year for the just for that purpose and drug my brother down from Clio. But not in the cards this year, maybe next time.

Johnnie.

 

Think I'll make it?

 

ill be there

 

Sure "YOU" will be there!

now the roadster in the picture might be a different story

 

Northern!! You guys are mid MI GMB's...we'll follow you in from the great white NORTH!!

 

Thanks, Tim! Maybe hauling his truck in on a trailer as is so he'll get no shirt from Hippie!

 

I hope you make it there Rudy, I really want to see it all put together. Hell it looked sweet sitting there mocked up. Plus I plan on bringing Bobby's new ride. His peddle car wagon came out sweet.
Eric

 

and I want to show you the vintage cooler, it's turning out sweet as well.

 

dont make up such lies your no where near that far along.

 

Of course, looks like all you have to do is drop the motor in and slap on the body. All set.

If you don't I'm nominating you for official HAMB slacker. A 1/2"X 9/16" box end and a roll of duct tape and your on the road.

Frank

 

I'll be there...........hopefully...

Mike

 

I'll be there, for sure!

 

I'll be there...
Denise - any idea about a HAMB meet - greet?
Just have muscle junk going at the moment - no real hot rods just yet, but I'll be a walk'n

 

Last year we did it by the Nightmares sign which was real easy to find. They usually hang out along the treeline. Once it gets alittle closer I'll do a Meet & Greet info post.

Also, the RRT might be bringing the BBQ trailer. If so, all HAMB memebers are more then welcome to come for lunch. I'll post those details in the Meet & Greet thread as well.

 

I,ll be in Toronto , (ONT) With time on my hands. Whats the best route, via Windsor or Sarnia ?

 

Gaz,

Sarnia is closer and you'll be certain to catch up with some HAMBers on their way. See if you can catch a ride with the guys at Oddball Kustoms. I saw them coming in and a few others last year. The bridge traffic is much better there than Windsor/Detroit.

 

Sarnia is probably your best bet.
Take 401 west to London,then catch the 402 to Sarnia.

But don't expect to find anything between London and Sarnia.
Like gas,food,rest stops,etc.

Stop at the Wellington Street exit in London,there are gas stations and fast food places north and south of the highway.

I came home that way,probably the first Billetproof show.
The roads are good,much better than Detroit.Not much traffic.

Just make sure you've got American money,AND your Passport.

 

See you all there!
