I mentioned in my last post about the Billetproof Car Show that my favorite part are all the little details and unique things that people put on their cars.  I saw some shady things, interesting engineering, funny stickers, and a lot of details I’d like to incorporate on my truck!  So here’s a post dedicated to just that! 😉

I liked the valve covers. Back in the day they made all kinds of cast SBC valve covers with different logos etc.
