Hillco Fasteners Warehouse is one of those places gearheads love to go with a big bucket and a pile of cash. Those who aren't builders, welders, fabricators, tinkerers, and the like look at such a place is just a place to get bolts. They don't get it. Hillco also has rod ends, AN fittings, braided hoses, quarter turn fasteners, electrical terminals, welding tabs, and automotive trim clips and fasteners. Oh my. A family business that been serving the community for decades has awarded them with loyal customers.
Every year they host a car show right on their parking lot, and all their neighbor's lots too. But, since it was a Sunday, no one complains. Over 150 cars showed up this year and this guy was there drooling on people's rides and asking stupid questions. I brought my camera too.
I got up early Sunday, headed over to my friend, Yannick's, house and followed him down to Orange County, Cali as he caused havoc just cruising along in his car. What? It's just a car. I'm waiting for the day some slack jawwed guy crashes while gaping at his ride. Thankfully, no such wrecks happened today.
We were running late and arrived at 9 am which meant most of the crowd was already there. But, the owners of Hillco saved a primed spot for Yannick cause he's such a good customer. He didn't even get the car stopped before the crowds enveloped his car like a tidal wave. Personally, I'd be a bit unnerved by it, but I guess he's used to it by now.
Purple Reign Racing showed up with a couple of the teams fast rides. First, is this Maverick that runs mid 8's. Second, was this monster purple Camaro that runs in 7's. Yikes!
Doc Brown and Marty McFly landed here by accident, but stayed awhile. The taco bar right in front of the Delorean must've caught their noses' attention. This is one of the movie cars that the owner claimed he drove here from LA.
Notice this one has an automatic transmission, not the five speed that Marty gripped in the movie.
Mr. Fusion on the back is made up from some high tech materials, a finned brake drum, a cut in half torque convertor, and a hubcap. Yes, Doc Brown had all the newest gadgets.
Crap. I got called back into work. Bear with me. I got 140 pics coming.
