SEMA 2007........the ACTUAL good stuff!!!!

Here's some of what Brandon and I saw last week at SEMA that was actually interesting. Not all of it is necessarily cool, but it is interesting. Well, interesting and related to this board. There was actually a lot of cool late model stuff too. The huge wheels and related **** in the other post was not the majority. Tuner and off-road stuff is still pretty dominant.

The amount of cool stuff was down this year, but that's not SEMA's fault. They don't bring the stuff to the show. I talked with multiple people whose cars didn't get finished in time.

Anyway, here ya go...

Twin Mill=Rad


I want to see this run


Look close at the lakes. They are super long Cherry Bombs.




I hate the wheels, but it had a on of cool ideas.




Larry Wood signing Hot Wheels. Always a great guy.


Hot Wheels prototypes

 

Yep, Carroll Shelby










Johnny Rutherford. Another genuinely great guy.


Chip always rules the school. I'm not always a fan of his work, but I'm a huge fan of him as a person, and in constant awe of his talent.


Rick Dore's latest


Kat Von D. I liked her better with more meat on her bones.

 

Itchy's car


Itchy striping




Possibly my favorite of the show


Troy Ladd and the Meadors' posing for a PR shot for the Trendsetter of the Year award Troy received from Goodguys.

 

Thanx KIRK!!!

Too bad we couldn't see more of the "cool ideas" roadster (and I'm NOT a roadster person)...but blak is always tuff to photograph...

R-

 

Thanks man. The folks from my office who went this year didn't bring me back any cool shots to look over!

 

Now those look like more of what we are use to here.Nice work.

 

WOW!
I always liked that Twin Mill, but I thought it was red??

 

here are a few more

 

"Kat Von D. I liked her better with more meat on her bones." She might be on that California Speed diet Great Shots BTW

 

I personally love the Twin mill, the caddy with the cherry bomb lakes, the ethanol ride, Rick Dore's ride, Scratch's ride, the Ford p/u with the wire wheels, and that Heart Breaker funny car. And I agree, Kat don't look so hot as a stick figure.

 

I love Jimmy Shine's truck, one of the coolest trucks ever. Also, Itchy's car is really nice. Hot Wheels look good too

 

Jesus, I was at SEMA and only saw about half of that stuff. But I only had a day and a half and it takes a lot more than that to see it all. It is kinda overwhelming. No pics of the Overhaulin shindig ? It was kinda cool to see em all workin in there, reminded me of your Billetproof buildoff you did a few years back.

 

Yeah, Chip is constantly bitin' my style.

 

Great pics
Great coverage
If you keep this up I'll save a fortune in airfares and accomadation.

 

i wish i could drive that blue hotwheels bubble surf truck thing to work everyday!

 

I'll echo that.

Being here in the already frozen tundra of the midwest (brrr - it's getting cold already) - I can truely appreciate seeing such thorough coverage of such huge event (that I'm certain I will never be able to attend).

If you keep it up - you might get a job taking pictures of hot-rods for a living...

Thanks Kirk!

 

Thanks for the pics Kirk.....you always "step up".....

Those HotWheels concepts are far out.....

 

Great pic's / Thanks for sharing. Larry Wood a cl*** act, one of the Good Guys.

 

Kirk...what can I say? You've done it again big boy...a great job of bringing this show to the home/shop bound hordes of the boards...us. Thanks for your coverage and I look forward to your next show coverage.

 

Nice, Thanks

 

i didn't take any pics due to my chronic laziness, but the '35 behind this car was by far my favorite ride there.....

 

anybody get some shots of winfields new 32 roadster suppose to have a killer purple/blue to white pearl fade??

 

ahh, yes, much much better than your other SEMA thread!

Thanks, KIRK!

Malcolm

 

Anyone know the story on this RPU. I likey...

 

That is the Posies "They finally put down the crackpipe special"

 

Kirk, those photographs are AWESOME! Thanks for posting them.

 

Dang, I was the guy in line before that joker in the yellow shirt. I managed to get a coupla words in with skratch, the poster didnt fare too well on the travels back but I will be gettin her framed.

Thanks for stripin it' way better than a pron star signing some **** in the wheel section.
