Billetproof; what do they mean by "billet"?

What exactly does "Billet" mean? There's a Billetproof meet in Antioch in Sept 2006. I'd like to take my roadster up there; but am not sure they'll let me in even though I think the car (Steel Deuce hiboy w/flathead) is a pretty good fit with the 1940's theme that I followed building it. Problem is I've got a few parts on the car I made myself (on an old hand feed Clausing mill) out of aluminum. I spectated at their event in 2003 and it was a neat scene. But I didn't stay in tune with that side of the hot rodding world. So I can't read them. Email to the organizer on this subject got no answer, and that's OK. I understand how busy they can get organizing an event. Any advice, HAMB people? I don't want to preregister, drive 75 miles and get told to park in the spectator lot by some bureaucrat.

PM Kirk! on here, its his show.....

But generally it means "B*yd rims, pedals, mirrors, valve covers, air cleaners" etc.....

If its cool & traditional, it'll be allowed....post some pictures

 

Just noticed your in Los Gatos, pop down to Big Dogs on a Thursday & we can check out your car for you.....

I'm in Campbell

 

Not yet road ready. Later this summer. Will try scanning an old pic I have. Some of you old timers around here may know the car from the 80's before it was damaged in the 89 earthquake. Ed Weldon

 

I think it's the crap that comes in "bubble-packs" that they're trying to avoid. If you made it yourself.....no sweat ! I know I respect that kind of effort and ingenuity !

 

So far everyone is right on the money. Read the criteria on the website.

For the most part, if you made it, we like it!

 

Nothing this guy would drive........

 

Kirk-- Thanks for the word from Mission Control. I think your community will OK my car. I planned this car back in 1975 with page 42 of the 1949 edition of Veda Orr's Hot Rod Pictorial in front of me......Ed Weldon

 

i suppose i could come over and inspect the car in person

 

i dont care who you r...thats funny shit right there...lmao!!!!!!

 

And I don't care who this guy is..........I want to see that pictorial.

I'm easy to please.

 

I don't know, I don't see any billet on that. And it's homemade .

 

I always felt that if you questioned if you or your car belongs or not, probably not. But, sounds like a cool piece. We are gonna need some pics.

Oh yeah, That KIRK! guy is ok. Had a blast at B-Proof last month.
