The longest running bug show in the US is in Sacramento. It's a labor day event (who thought that was a good idea) and includes drag races, and a pretty big vendor area.
I was able to find a few parts that I was missing, and some replacement parts that I wanted.
As usual, Bay Window buses were underrepresented, but there were a couple.
Pics say it all, they are here
Some of my favorites:
Usually the Adventure top makes the Bus look huge, but when compared to other vehicles, it can look almost petite.

Nice Rat rod, I'll post more on this one later.

That Short Bus
It's a piece of art and expression, assuming that you want it to be.

His website is here and it is marginally safe for work (he tattoos everywhere except neck and face, if you know what I mean...) Bill has a thing for weird cars.
I could go into great detail about it, but he has a website that says it all.
But in case you don't have time to surf, here are a few more.
