Heading back outside of the Las Vegas Convention Center for this extra long SEMA coverage post today.
I’m not sure the exact criteria for parking outside of the Convention Center but if I were to guess I’d imagine it’s similar to one of the larger “invite-only” car shows in the states.
I like walking the outside because many of the cars look as though they put rubber down on the street inside of just inside a trailer.
DUB Show Tour
The shuttle that ran from our hotel to the show stopped right outside the ‘DUB’ area of the show so that is where today’s coverage will begin.
We don’t get these shows in Canada so walking around the one at SEMA is always interesting to say the least.
The shuttle stop was literally right behind this dually so it’s as good place to start as anyWhile not as low as some of the other duallys at SEMA I could appreciate the interior work, I personally love when striping continues into the jambsNot a huge fan of the wheel faces but the rest of this car is pretty niceIf memory serves the wheels on this were also quite questionable but the colour was niceKompresion Wheels ’37 Ford coupe projectThe Torq Roadster; a weird reverse trike that weighs less than 2000 lbs and has 612 foot pounds of torqueFisker KarmaWood inserts caught my eye, wonder if this will catch onMisha Designs widebody SLM, a stand out of the Dub areaSLR adorned with lots of CFWANT.Also wouldn’t mind thisHofele kitted Audi A8L from Platinum MotorsportBeetle bagged on Fifteen52sAventador on new penny esque finished wheels, HRE had a finish like this on display as wellCouldn’t go through the whole DUB section without taking shots of something ridiculousCurious how much time is spent on each of these wheels (clearly more time than was spent on headlight fitment)To each their own right?

In 2010 there was a number of stunning VIP builds outside the show and this year was more of the same, don’t readily recall seeing any inside however.

Trucks
So many great trucks at SEMA and so little time and card space. I guess it’s to my advantage that most of them are outside which allowed me to take a lot of these photos after we were told to leave the Convention Center.
Very clean almost factory fresh c10SpotlessI totally failed at getting more frame shots this year but it was cool to learn this is slated to go under a C10I’m pretty sure I want to own one of these one dayLove the front tire mount for the bikeGreat looking Pro Streetish F-100Killer ’67 Beckett AutomotiveThis truck reminds me a lot of one I saw in 2010Big wheel, big truck, big tuck, look is growing on me4Runner from No Regrets Truck ClubThe owner of this Toyota was kind enough to let me open and close the doors to get shots I wantedGreat interior right down to the custom pedalsThese look so good laid out and the knock offs on the wheels were a nice ‘not-so-typical’ touch tooBay shotGoing to end with this six wheeled This six wheeled Dodge D50 (never seen one before) is known as the “Six Shooter”Six shooter shifter, lawn chairs for seats, cowhide flooringThis truck actually left under it’s own power which I was surprised to see
Hoping to finish of the inside of the show with the next post then intermix a few more showstoppers in with the rest of the weeks content. 29 gigs worth of photos takes a bit of time to go through.
Nice, the JP Lexus is the one I’d take home. 🙂
