Over 700 photos. Billetproof is for real hot rods '64 and earlier. No billet-clad, digital gauge, pastel graphic, named after a fifties song trailer queens! Full shows Saturday and Sunday at the fairgrounds. Last year was a huge success, so this year there was more of everything - lots more. More of the sickest '64 and prior do-it-yourself traditional rods, customs and motorcycles on the planet. More food. More of that great Rockabilly and Gearhead live music. The cruise through downtown on Saturday night is sanctioned by the city this year - the organizers have gone through all the hoops to make this happen, so if everyone behaves they'll allow it next year.
If you have never been to a Billetproof event, I highly recommend it. Not just a typical cruise with a lot of old guys like myself. The younger generation has really taken to traditional rods and customs. If you don't enjoy this group and have a blast at a Billetproof show you better check your pulse. These pictures are all from Saturday. Be sure to check out the photos on the back end of this gallery where the cars cruise through Historic Old Downtown Centralia.
Sorry if I didn't get your car in this gallery. I tend to spend a lot of time chatting with others and that takes time from shooting. Everyone was friendly, from the cruisers to the people and businesses of Chehalis and Centralia - far more fun folks than any event I've been to. For crying out loud, people were even taking pictures of me taking pictures.
I recommend hitting the slideshow button up there and watching the show. Grab a sandwich and a drink first, there are over 700 shots here.
I'll be putting some of the more kick-ass cars here on shirts soon to be for sale here: http://www.zazzle.com/stillplayswithcars
