Event Coverage BilletProof NW 2012

It was only time before it happened. The weather in the NW in June is usually rain and well, we got rain on Sat for the show. It impacted attendance but overall it looked like everyone was having fun. The weather cleared for the cruise. Thanks to the Slo Pokes and Allen for this years show.

This was my maiden voyage in the 51 after a full tear down over the winter to swap in a V8 and automatic, new wiring and tires and wheels. I knew I had a problem the first time I turned on the light s (during the cruise) and I was reading only about 9 volts. Got back to the hotel that night but come morning, it would not start. a quick charge and off we went but 20 miles down the road it was clear the volts were dropping faster than the miles I was covering. My new Alternator took a crap and I had to stop in Olympia to buy a replacement. I have to say thanks to my follow Misfits for the help in swapping over the Alternator. 15 to 20 minutes and we were back on the road.

Loving the chevy. The wheels, tires, stance, everything.

 

Thanks for the pics

 

Ken,great photo coverage like always,,,BTW,that sure is a good looking Chevy you have there. HRP

 

I always look forward to your pics man. Some of the best.

 

I had a blast too. I love the wheels on yer Chev. You mind if I toss a few pics on here?

 

I had a good time. Thanks for posting.

 

damn! what size tires you got on that 52?

 

Dude, jump on and add any many as you want... the more the bettter.

49ratfink, those are 15x8 trick by realrodder (almost 9" outer edge to outer edge) with a 2 inch backspace. I relocated the springs inboard 2" and redid the outer edge of the inner fenders (I have a post with all the build up). The tires are hurst cheater slicks (29" tall).

I still have to adjust the front end height (either raising or lowering it move, but not leave it level)

 

Yeah Boones we had a good time. You know we'll always help, it's what we do. That alternator was just bad. The trip was a great shake down run for you. Besides it's all about the drive anyway, the adventure. Thanks again for taking pics as always.

 

Thanks for posting your pictures. It was a good time even if it was a rain out.

 

GREAT PICS. aND ALTHO THE RAIN WAS NOT GOOD IT WAS A GREAT SHOW AND NICE THAT THE RAIN WENT AWAY FOR THE CRUISE.

 

I tried to shoot ever car but between down pours or just so many people around some cars, I missed some .. or maybe it was being distracted by the bottle of crown or shots of fireball that seemed to be going around..


burt21 loved your little PU. sounded bitchen rolling the streets.. (have to ask, how did you get that dent/ crease in the aluminum rear fender..)

 

Hey Ken thanks for the shots, lunch, and good times! Oh and your pictures kind of rock too...... House of Pain style!
