I post on Bangshift about my SEMA experiences (pictures). I'll cross post here and have the same thing. If you see something or are interested in someone's solution to something and want pictures... let me know, I'll do my best to accommodate.

Detroit Speed seems to be introducing new stuff all the time. Maybe they are showing something new at SEMA.

love this bronco, but I bet next year will be the year of the Blazer because there were a lot of 'announcements' about builds in the works

Thanks for the review. My wife & I last went to SEMA 30+, maybe more years ago. Had some deal at Circus Circus hotel at $20 a night. The casino buffets weren't that great compared to the ones in Lake Tahoe. Yum Yum.

Now getting back on track - a fellow posted a link to a video on the Corvette Foreskin of C1 to C8 Corvettes only. There were 4 or 5 of the 53-55's done up as customs that were no too unpleasant for a traditionalist eye. They were minimalist and not that difficult to accept. But with the exception of the Grand Sport replica C2 - the other C2's C3's were the same hackneyed resto mods with oversized chrome wheels, tacked on flares and almost every Corvette sported Carbon Fiber some where or everywhere. The traditional Blue C4 Grand Sport was OK but those custom C4-s left alot to be desired for my palate. All the C5, C6, C7 and C8's were endowed with gigantic rear wings. It seems there was contest for who could mount a bigger one.

I can't remember who said it - ?? - a fool and his money are soon parted.
