Billetproof 2008
For those of you who missed Billetproof at Don Garlits Museum, here is a cool video of it. You will see some very famous people in it that some of you might recognize.

Well, I recognize Big Daddy, gastrick's coupe, and I think I've seen that scalloped '27 T in a magazine, but other than that.........................

Thanks Steve. Yep, that was nice to find on there. I was pretty surprised actually.
Bob, look again. The guy who played Weezies second Cousin twice removed on the Jeffersons was there. At least I THINK that was him.

The coolest part of that vid is that those of us who havent met the infamous "Don" can now put a face (and even a voice
) to the name! Nice job Don!!

Don I just watched it again with the sound turned up(didn't want to wake my wife last night!) Nice sentiments about kids working on cars! I never noticed the shift knob before today! Nice finishing touch. Stunning Balck and copper! Couldn't of said it better myself! You really hit it with those color combos and with that baseball glove interior!

Thanks Steve. As for the shift knob, Dan pulled a fast one on me at Turkey Run. He was at a vendor booth looking at knobs and asked for my opinion on which one I liked best. I told him that one was my favorite of the two he was holding. Then he handed me the knob and said he was buying it for me and just wanted to see which one I liked . Guess I have to buy him one for his car to get even.
The guy who did that video does a show on channel 8 in Tampa I think. Very nice guy, and he told me it would end up on YouTube eventually. One of Dan's friends sent him an email with the video in it..........sure surprised me when we got to the part with my car in it.
Gastricks '32 was in there too, that car gets it's picture printed everywhere. Very nice Deuce. BTW, he just scored a 392 hemi and is installing it and 4 carbs in the '32. That will put that car right off the scale.

Well, the narator used the right adjective when he described Don's roadster as "stunning". For those of you who have not seen this car in person, pictures and video don't do it justice. The copper glows in the sunlight and the black looks a foot deep - characteristics that just aren't easily captured on film.
Gastrick's deuce coupe is another amazingly nice piece and that Hemi is going to make it irresistable. What says "hotrod" more than a chopped deuce three-window with bomber seats, aluminum interior, and a Hemi? It's going to look like a refugee from the Bonneville salt flats...

well I decided to do another mod to gain max travel of bars past the intended travel points just for that peace of mind. 1/8 inch is to close so now I'll have 1/2" or better. I cut a 3/16" wall...
