SEMA 2022

[SuperBuickGuy]

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.

Well, here we go... a sweet K5



yes paul, amazing




this was interesting because of the roof aero




these were well represented


and tons of c2s

amazing dentside

for some reason, there were a bunch of LSR cars too


the exhaust was integrated into the headlights... this roadster was amazing



just a suicide door bronco


famousish Pantera

Roadster shop is really starting to be the frame people

who knew flaring old cars could be so cool... oh yeah, I do

You may see these on a motor build coming soon to chez SBG

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

Paul admiring a head

if anyone wants a blueprint on how to build a road race car... this one is it

don't like the roof but even that has an aero principle that makes it fit


not sure what, but it was well done


this COE... amazing


random cars from outside




just sitting near the Kindig booth... this...

AC Cobras from both manufacturers were here, this is a customized one that you can buy 'off the shelf'

let me save your magnifier...

$117,000


My C3 has capability of wheel speed data, transmission data and engine data.... which means active adjustment shocks....not cheap, but maybe worth it


a true hotrod lincoln



Borla is now in the stereo speakers for electric cars to give them a throaty roar.... no, it's November 1st not april 1st

the best 2nd gen Firebird I've ever seen

don't love the lights but do like the concept


this is basically a C6 C10


a solution to a problem with my FJ40


there were some stunning GNXs there.... only one (Kevin Hart's) with a V6....


neat truck

IROC with functional louvers...

Troy Trapanier is working on one of this.... this isn't it but it's that level of done


more on the C6 C10

the aero tricks were quite well done

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.
