Some TOO Close

More in the in a bit

 

Man, I dropped past your cars several times today looking for ya...never did manage to find ya...Nice stuff, I managed to snap a few, I'll post some in a while.

 

Sounds Good .I was hoping to run into you today

 

Yeah i noticed those brake issues too.it still blows me away that people drive stuff with little or no brakes.hey those things are light anyhow right?!

 

Just got back.... I saw a bunch of cars that should've been abortions. BUT, tons of amazing ones too.

 

Couple of Friends from over the HILL

"Re: Billet Proof Nor CAL -Some Good Some Not "

It should've said..."Some safe, some not"

 

heavy or light a good 70% of your braking is in the front. my old motorcycle only weighed 450 lbs with a good sized disc on the rear. I wouldn't ride it without a front brake.

man I didn't go fucking driver had starter issues. new starter turned out to be shit. didn't figure this out until it was too late. I'm not sure if I made the first one, but the first one I went to was in Oakland (Alameda?) by the water and I've only missed 2 since.

my camera is looking at me going "hey. WTF? it's Billetproof today"

oh well. Bakersfield is next month.

c'mon Dave. post yer pics so I can cry in my beer tonight.

 

could not get the ranchero back together i need to fab up a trans mount and cut the hole larger for the shifter to pass through. but i might just have to come down anyways in another car on sun

 

or "CARS TO CRINGE AT AND CARS TO DROOL OVER", does anyone have pictures of that gold/green plymouth?

 

fink sounds like we are in the same boat. i run my truck every day and it decides to take a dump a few days before the show. thats how it goes i guess but now i gotta hear this dirt of sketchy cars. i mean i am used to seeing them at these shows but for more than one person to mention it lets hear it for those of us with cranky cars that would not let us attend

 

Few more till tommorrow

 

I'm just gonna add them on here, hope thats cool Chris?

I have to say, this was the 1st Billetproof I had been to in 3 years, and the 'feel' of the show seems a lot more mellow, relaxed & friendly....There were a lot of cars I hadn't seen before, some VERY nice, others...well, lets just say, I didn't photograph them, there were several WTF type vehicles in attendance, but, on the whole, the Cool to WTF ratio in my opinion was very good...Thanks to Alan & the whole team.

Anyway...i was having some camera issues, so some of these came out a little grainy, and I'm on severe pain pills, so the fact I even made the show is pretty good....

So without further ado....

Billetproof...On Drugs

Very extensive body mods,


Killer stripework


I don't like green on cars personally...However....



KIRK's "Maycausedangerousmylittleponyroddersjournalchurchg**dguys" Modified is amazing, also, a pleasure to meet Matt Seret today



Drool.......




This was for sale for $6500...pretty different..I liked it.


Cool chop


'59 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud...with a LS1 Chevy motor

Thanks, if your there again today, my friend Dan may well talk with you about the thing I was PM'ing you about.

Glad ya liked em.

 

I missed it this year, decided to look at old racecars @ the West Capital Speedway Reunion in Roseville. "Rusty Chainer Chris" & Dave thanks for the good stuff, that other shit is just scary! (I made the right choice)

 

Rick
Don't get me wrong ,it was a great show WHICH always brings out some different things ,like I said Some GOOD Some Badd
Butt I am only a
Rusty Chainer with Concrete on the BRAIN

 

Like I said above....There were a lot of cars I hadn't seen before, some VERY nice, others...well, lets just say, I didn't photograph them...I just look, take note...and walk on...the good to bad ratio was way up in the good end this year...I think there was maybe 50 "WTF were they thinking??" vehicles out of the 1000 there.

So, in all, a good show, and if you don't like em, don't look at em!

 

There were even some VW's there

 

The lack of front brakes is scary on some of those rat rods. Also the quality of welds on important parts like suspension and steering was terrible. Overall great show,very laid back atmosphere.

 

And a 1 Armed Bandit.....

 

Drugged up, dog walking, 1 armed bandit if you please....

 

Got more tell me if your are getting BORED

 

Great pics. Got more?

 

Wow...this was my first year since Billetproof has been at Antioch that I didn't have to work all morning. Great show...and I noticed the waaaay laid back atmosphere too (just thought it was normal in the AM.
Thanks to everyone involved and thank you Dragoons for working the show and letting us old farts sit around and drink beer and just enjoy the show!!!
Great pics...hope some of those guys come back today to get some trophys!

 

Nice photos gents, thanks for sharing. Thanks for posting a variety of cars too so the rest of us can see what we missed. No excuses about not going here, it is a bit far for a weekend jaunt for me.

 

dont get me wrong , i'll go back ........
