Another Surprise Truck at SEMA: A Datsun 620 “‘Lil Hustler” Pickup

 Jim Brennan, 07.11.2009   in Partner- und Mitglieder-Blogs, blog.cardomain.com

In the central hall, buried among the many forgetful vendors at this years SEMA, I found this curious little number at the Sure Shifter display, a mid 70’s Datsun 620 Pickup. This truck is set up as a little Drag Truck, with the usual Matte Black finish that seems to be THE paint job at this show. Read more after the jump! It is owned by Jeremy Gradney, who works for TVK Industries, the makers of a new product called the Surematic Shift Indicator. This little trucklet was just completed...

SEMA 2009: Over and Out!

 John Coyle, 06.11.2009   in Partner- und Mitglieder-Blogs, blog.cardomain.com

So the reports about the death of SEMA had been greatly exaggerated. We hope y’all enjoyed our coverage, because we had one hell of a time posting it. Personally, it was awesome to be back in a little room typing, swearing, and laughing with my Seattle crew, and getting to watch them sing along with the with the balloon artist/guitar player/one-man-band at Terrible’s was just brilliant. SEMA is a wonderful reminder of why we bust our knuckles covering cars and car culture, and I...

All Up In Their Booth: the General at SEMA

 John Coyle, 06.11.2009   in Partner- und Mitglieder-Blogs, blog.cardomain.com

Did you know the General brought back the Camaro for 2010? There’s no way I’d have known,except for the fact that you can’t walk six inches at SEMA without bumping into one. I’m kidding, obviously, and I don’t mean to sound like I’m begrudging my favorite domestic automaker all the fanfare surrounding the return of its legendary muscle car. I think the boys and girls at GM did a great job with the Camaro, and the silver one in the pic below is so hot it makes...

SEMA Best of Show: Ring Brothers ‘64 Fairlane

 Rob Einaudi, 06.11.2009   in Partner- und Mitglieder-Blogs, blog.cardomain.com

Best of Show, the award for “outstanding achievement in design,” went to this incredible Ring Brothers ‘64 Fairlane in the BASF booth. The car is powered by a Roush 427, rolls on Forgeline 3-piece wheels, and sports a carbon fiber hood, front and rear bumpers, side air intakes and deck lid spoilers. This was one of the hardest cars to photograph cause it was always mobbed. More pics and a quick video after the jump!

The 1957 Bel Air SS at the Eaton Booth

 Jim Brennan, 06.11.2009   in Partner- und Mitglieder-Blogs, blog.cardomain.com

I had a chance to interview the builders of this particular machine. Its a cool, one of a kind 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air aptly named the Bel Air SS. Continue reading after the jump! This car is displayed at this years SEMA show at the Eaton Booth, and has generated a lot of positive press, and I was able to get a video of the three generations of the Ebeling clan, Kieth, Todd, and Michael just before a professional film crew did. This is a wonderful creation, using original and reproduction...

Fireball SEMA Day 3! The Finale!

 Fireball Tim, 06.11.2009   in Partner- und Mitglieder-Blogs, blog.cardomain.com

And that’s a wrap for me, folks. Back to LA in the morning, but this was one helluva show. Looks like the hit was the CHEVY CAMARO with about 60 cars appearing. But there were many others that were awesome and heavily involved timewise. Some final parting shots from North Hall. Not many cars or girls, but some great products for you to check out. Best of Show here. Big shoutout to the boys and girls of SEMA. They put on another spectacular event. Hot Rods by Rom, Cool Customizable Caliper...

1965 C-10 in the Odyssey Booth at SEMA

 Rob Einaudi, 06.11.2009   in Partner- und Mitglieder-Blogs, blog.cardomain.com

I really liked this Chevy pickup built by Street Customs & Restorations of Mooresville, NC. I especially liked the look of the red engine bay on a black truck. More pics and a quick video after the jump!

Interview with the Builder of our “Guess the JDM Minivan” Minivan

 Jim Brennan, 06.11.2009   in Partner- und Mitglieder-Blogs, blog.cardomain.com

Thanks to all the participants in the “Guess the JDM Minivan” posting here on CarDomain. We do have a winner, and its noname666, who happened to guess it almost when the posting went live. So much for the experts here at SEMA! Continue reading after the jump! Any way, I did an interview with the creator of this one-of-a-kind custom (I say one-of-a-kind, because unlike Japan, there are virtually no JDM Minivans available in the US). Introducing Mr. Shin Okamoto from AirRunner...

Classic Design Concepts Claims First 2010 Mustang Shaker Hoodscoop

 Jen Dunnaway, 06.11.2009   in Partner- und Mitglieder-Blogs, blog.cardomain.com

…Yeah, they’ve also got a Challenger widebody kit that extends the front fenders 3″  on either side, and parts that’ll dress up your plain-jane C6 Corvette as either a Z06 or a ZR1. And can you name any other booth at SEMA that has a new Camaro, Mustang, Challenger, and Corvette? Talk about covering all your bases. More pics below the jump!

Brian Fox at SEMA

 Rob Einaudi, 06.11.2009   in Partner- und Mitglieder-Blogs, blog.cardomain.com

I caught up with Brian over at the Lexus booth. Wow, that green BASF paint really pops in the sun. More pics and a short video of Brian talking about his Lexus IF C build after the jump!

Vibe Audio RX-8 Screams For Attention

 Jen Dunnaway, 06.11.2009   in Partner- und Mitglieder-Blogs, blog.cardomain.com

This RX-8 in the Vibe Audio booth sure did a lot of flashing and blinking and thumping and carrying on, so it was kind of a letdown to find that all of its features were just for show. Like, those bubbling mineral-oil-filled amps? No functional purpose whatsoever. The rotating-ball sub in the trunk? Nothing but a gimmick. Nothing too impressive under the hood in terms of mods, just a lot of dress-up and neon. I guess that’s often how it is with sound-stage cars. Oh well, at least it put...

Fireball SEMA Day 2! Celebrites!

 Fireball Tim, 06.11.2009   in Partner- und Mitglieder-Blogs, blog.cardomain.com

Whew, are my dogs a smokin!’ Pretty sure I’ve walked about 200 miles today, and fended off 200,000 elbows. (Been using my Starbucks cups as defense. Work pretty dang good.) Although the cars were cool, the celebrities showed up in full force! My buddy, MAD MIKE from “Pimp My Ride,” Superstar DAN WOODS from “Chop, Cut, Rebuild,” SuperModel Extraordinaire GENEVIEVE CHAPPELL and TunerSmokin’Hottie CORISSA FURR were struttin’ their gorgeousness. BEST...

Jay Leno’s 1929 Bentley Speed Six

 John Coyle, 06.11.2009   in Partner- und Mitglieder-Blogs, blog.cardomain.com

As far a comedy goes, I’m more of a Conan fan, but you can’t be a gearhead and not love Jay Leno. Because he actually drives his cars, this 1929 Bentley Speed Six isn’t totally stock. The motor has  been bored from six to eight liters, the carbs have been upgraded, it’s got a Gear Vendors overdrive, and his body guys—you know, the ones that only work for him?—fabricated the fenders over the front wheels. I’m kind of fascinated with iron this ancient, and I was...

Clean, Mean, LS7-Powered Trans Am

 Jen Dunnaway, 06.11.2009   in Partner- und Mitglieder-Blogs, blog.cardomain.com

With all the 2010 Camaro-to-Firebird conversions floating around the show, how come it hasn’t occurred to someone how awesome a completely updated Bandit-era Trans Am would be? Turns out that it has. This ultra-smooth ‘77 was built by Pinkee’s Rod Shop, and is packing a TRB Performance LS7, 4-wheel Wilwood discs, and one-off billet wheels–19’s in back and 18’s up front. Great, subtle details throughout: I love the Pontiac logo machined into the wheel centers....

Little Green Bags

 Jen Dunnaway, 06.11.2009   in Partner- und Mitglieder-Blogs, blog.cardomain.com

Because the economy is in the toilet, there’s been a serious absence of good swag at this year’s SEMA show. So I was totally stoked to find that Car-Part.com, the awesome parts-search site that trawls the inventories of junkyards nationwide, is still handing out their uber-durable shopping bags. I picked up a couple of these at the last SEMA, and have been toting my groceries home in them for an entire year–and given how iron-clad they are, you could probably haul parts home...
