SOME PICS FROM THE HOT ROD AND PERFORMANCE SECTION CHECK OUT THE 57 VETTE FASTBACK KUSTOM ON PAGE 7? http://sportruck.com/events/sema07/6/
Man there is some ugly stuff this year (dont get me wrong, I like alot of the high-tech stuff and sport truck stuff, but this year its not to impressive - probably because I really dislike the all black painted rims or very dark grey with no chrome or polished lips). The orange vette fastback is interesting.. It looks like the fastback roof/ trunk set up comes off so it can maintain its original ragtop/ convert status... I like the silver 69 camaro please tell em this is not Project X http://img.sportruck.com/events/sema07/6/385.jpg
There are only about 3 cars that are halfway cool. The Chevy 3 window is bad ***, some of the other ones look OK at a glance but then they go horribly wrong somewhere.... The future of the "Industry" looks pretty bleak to me. people might me making a lot of money but the end results are horrid. I would Roll in that urban ***ult vehicle that is basically a suburban on a 2 ton ch***is though......
The 35/36 three windows look nice. I like the green modern build on page 2 as well as the traditional Nailhead custom on 17.
What?? Not one picture of the only interesting and unique bike there? The bike that was over at megs booth?
Yeah, I was pretty disappointed with the show this year. Been going for a while now and this is probably the last one. PRI is way better.
that vette fastback looks like a gm motorama car, at least the back part, i think it was called corvair. the rpu is the only thing i would caught dead in.....
Do you suppose these cars could be a contributing factor as to why the traditional hot rod scene is exploding? They all are high dollar **** ugly.
Thanks for the pics. Had to work all week and didn't get to go. Those pics saved me a lot of walking.
There are also a ton o pics on http://www.socalcustoms.com its not seperated by sections, but he has about 1400 pics from the week
Not doing much for me. The E-85 coupe would get me to stop and look but that pretty much it. Some of the Fiat parts vendors go there every year and I can never figure out why other than to drink and party. No one puts that blink **** on Fiats so I can't figure out why they go. Maybe many of the vendors stick a pimped out H3 in their booth but really make mostly repop plastic vent covers for cl***ic cars or something. Paying the rent is always a lot more boring than shows like this make it look.
There certainly is a lot of imagination running wild at that show,how much money do they make showing off the wares.Actually the 57/58/59/60(take your pick) reminds me more of a Triumph GT6 hardtop from the 70's.It's getting harder to design something completely different using an old body.Oh well,keep on roddin'
the lights and grill was a dead giveaway. I thought the Smokey & the Bandit-esque Firebird was pretty cool. But my eyes couldn't handle 90% of the rest.
I want one of those ford Flex's!! long live the stationwagon!! but i'm sure it will be over priced and underpowered. ok i'll get one at carmax in a few year for cheap keith
