Jumping on the #throwbackthursday vibe this week with some 2012 event coverage that has yet to see the light of day.
This coverage was originally intended to follow up another unreleased post, but somehow both got lost in the shuffle that was summer of 2012.
With winter slowing things down to a more manageable pace I’ve decided to finally liberate these photos from the depths of my computer, so rewind with me if you will to June 2012.
Boot Hill Automotive Resurrection is, as the name implies, a one stop restoration and customization shop capable of taking on any project big or small. A number of pretty sweet local builds have rolled out of this facility including the Boot Hill Hauler 56 F-100 pick-up that took home the Grand Champion award at Mega Speed 2013.
For three years running Boot Hill has hosted a charity BBQ event on the vast shop grounds in Erin Ontario and today’s photos are from the second year.
Exceptionally clean 69 Dodge DartI believe this Boot Hill branded tip was on the back of a 57 Bel AirIf memory serves me it was quite hot the day of the event making this ‘unkeeryd’ the perfect ride to show up inThis Caballero wagon is actually part of a matched set that was shown at Mega Speed in 2012Tim (of Tim and Brenda’s Place) gold Caddy454 Powered 1980 Camaro, nice to see a few people still keeping this generation freshDoc Brown passed through for an infinite number of seconds
This ’48 is another build that’s graced the Mega Speed floors
Can’t remember what the asking price was on this LS-7
One of the nice things about this event was that Boot Hill kept most of their installation bays and garages open allowing people to take a look at some of their works in progress.
While finished products are always nice a lot of the real beauty behind these builds hides in details that are covered up when the wrenches are put away.
The Mustang around this motor wasn’t quite together but I loved the ITB so I had to get a couple shots
This 1929 Essex is not well and complete and was at the 2013 International AutoshowA 350 with all the modern comforts (A/C) was installedThis entirely new floor pan is the kind of hidden details I’m talking aboutThis 1967 Maserati Quattroporte sedan was abandoned for quite some time before it got sent to Boot Hill
It has received a full restoration now and the interior now features five hides of hand stitched Italian leather. Completed photos are available hereLots of people were gathered around this project all day……and this is the reason why
I think I might shoot off a few emails and see if this car was ever finished…Close this throwback post out with NHL star Rick Nash’s Pro Touring Camaro
