Thread: Sema 2010

Happy to say that this year the crowds appear to be larger than last year, and many more booths displaying "stuff". Last year there were too many empty booths and sectioned off areas of empty space for my likeing. These vendors must be having a spurt of optimism despite reports of business being off for many.

My buddy Randy has already posted up some pics, and hopefully others will add whatever they've taken to the thread: http://public.fotki.com/SRCruzzin/2010/sema-las-vegas/ If you're interested in other related events, on the left of the page there is a link to the pictures he took at the SoCal Speed Shop, Las Vegas open house last Sunday.

Kenny D, Mike (Robot), Ken Thurm, Pat (Stu Cool) and I all got together to swap lies and critique the hardware. Looking at Pat's comments elsewhere it looks like he scored a nice welding outfit.

I continue to be amazed at the reproduction of old bodies. New this year that I saw were a '65/6 Mustang convertible, and an early '70s Challenger body from Dynacorn. Bob Drake had many of the panels of his '40 Ford coupe loosely assembled to show his progress. And some outfit I've not heard of before had major components of a '32 Ford 5 window coupe on display (you can see these last two in the picture file linked above).

Anyone else who was there should add on to the narrative as each of us focus on different things.
