Rust, Tatts, and Straight Pipes: Billetproof Nor-Cal 2009!
The rules for Billetproof, run by the same miscreants who brought you the Concours d'Lemons, are very simple: 1964 and older, no billet anything, no modern wheels, no fenderless cars with independent front suspension. More » -

We couldn't cover the first-ever Concours d'LeMons in Monterey last weekend, because Jalopnik's entire West Coast Bureau (me) was busy covering some dumb race in Merle Haggard country. No problem, though- we've got photos aplenty! More » -

The Stupidest Awesome Car At Billetproof 2009: Lowest Car Ever
This Ford Model A at Billetproof is the lowest vehicle we've ever seen. It's so low you can't get a foot under the frame. We're pretty sure it's being naturally clearanced. And that's just the start. More » -

The Door Art Of Billetproof Nor-Cal 2008
We thought we were all done with Billetproof Nor-Cal posts after the Mega Gallery yesterday, but then we got all these shots from Ecurie Ecrappe member and 24 Hours of LeMons Assistant Perpetrator Nick Pon. While I was shooting engines, he was shooting door art (and some hood, trunk, and toolbox art as well). Like everything else at Billetproof, the styles range from crude to obsessively detailed, primer paint to gold leaf, and there's some beautiful stuff at either end of the spectrum for those who make the jump.

Making the jump will get you three big galleries, with photos by me (the first two) and Casadelshawn (the last one). Enjoy. More »
