Billetproof has been around for some years now, so if you don't know about it then punch yourself in the dick. The idea is that everything id done DIY, no CNC machined or Billet shit. Swap meets are what these cars are built on, and the owners are typically cool as fuck because they haven't spend $2k, $5k or $60k on a paint job.

Unfortunately we had to leave early due to some bullshit, so only a small portion of the show got pictured, but this is the sort of stuff you could expect.

FOERST off, only in FL will you find a dude wearing Winston Cup NASCAR pajama pants to a car show...

My friend Taylor's wife on the right, her friend on the left. People were asking to take pictures with them/with them on their cars all day.

This car was particurlarly sex. Single port face inline 6 sounded like you'd expect a 2J to sound if it was the 80-year old dude narrating Conan.

Hand-hamered louvres were awesome in this hood, which I'm pretty sure is made out of a huge road sign or something based on the way open lattace structure of the metal

With the exception of the electric fan sitting in front of the radiator, this thing was badass. The doors opened like gullwings and the paint is all fake rust done with textured fleck stone paint and flack spray. It also sounded maniacal with huge twin scroll.
