Event Coverage SEMA Coverage?

Surprised no one has posted any coverage of this year's show. Am I missing it somewhere? It's always interesting to see what's new - even if I don't like it all.

TIA, JH

Cool new offering from Coker:

I don't think they will have any problems selling those wheels. Nice

 

This thing is great!

 

That Rocket wheel is VEEEERY interesting.

 

sweet model a and 32

 

That day glo orange 34 has to be seen in person ! My I phone couldn't capture the brilliance of the paint as with many of the bitchin cars that are on display. Much eye candy ! And then the models are mighty fine too !

 

but "not" stupid.

 

where's that girl from Auto Weekly's report ?

 

That rocket wheel does look very cool. Hopefully they will be 16" and 18". Maybe like their other wheels, they will be reasonably priced.

 

Looks like the sidewall says 16"?!

 

That Buick powered '34 coupe is bad to the bone.

What kind of tire is on that Rocket Wheel?

 

Was at SEMA and AAPEX for two days. Sorry no pictures, I am there on a mission to expand our product offerings. As usual lots of interesting products

 

Whats wrong with the coverage over at www.bangshift.com?

As far as traditional, HAMB-style style rods and customs go, the picking was indeed slim this year. And getting worse each year. I may post some later if I can scare up enough good ones.

 

Roger that. Hate to say it, but I'm hoping for a bolt-on version, perhaps with the same cover but a faux knock-off. Hope it is light, too. Gary

 

Nothing, thanx for the link. Fuller's 32 is crazy cool, but I dare not post an image here. Can't wait to see some print coverage on it. Gary

Can't wait to get my hands on those Rocket wheels! I have the perfect project going for those.

 

That rocket wheel does look very cool.

The Black Roadster belongs to some friends of mine, from Evansville Indiana.
Reisingers Custom Restorations. Super Cool Roadster, Super Cool Guys!!

 

Very nice 32 love it thanks for pictures

 

I think he said the rocket wheel was initially 16 x 5, bolt on. $400 each if I heard correctly.

 

40Standard -

I'm guessin' you are referring to hotrodladycrusr (Marketplace Sale Rep at AUTOWEEK)?

Denise has been reporting via her page ... the majority of her pics are O/T for a "Traditional Hot Rod & Custom" forum ... but here's a few that might be of interest to the H.A.M.B. community:
