Chevy

Those of you who are members of the facebook group will recognize this truck as the thumbnail for the group, it's stance and license plate made it a perfect fit. The last time I saw this '87 was at Extreme Invasion in 2009 and in that post I said it was probably one of the cleanest Blazers I had ever seen. At that show I only took three pictures of the truck even though it deserved plenty more, thankfully Mike Joe from MikeJoe.ca made up for my short comings and snapped a number of awesome photos of this truck from Performance World 2009, check em out.

On the way home last night from hockey at around 12:30am my new skid plate hit the ground hard which knocked it 80% off and resulted in some road side hockey tape mechanics and a very, very, slow drive home to where I removed it for modification at a later date. As a result I am quire tired today and my brain is a mess so I decided to keep things simple: The loud pedal, press it and things get awesome here are 5 examples.

Well, I've finally reached what is going to be the end of the 2010 SEMA coverage. Hopefully you guys have enjoyed all of the coverage as much as I have enjoyed posting it. I hope after seeing these photos you are now devising a way to get to next years show as I think it's something every enthusiast should try and get out to. As much I have tried to share here it's really, really, hard to explain what it's like until you've been, I've never been so exhausted from taking in so much automotive eye candy.

I swear I did a Theme Tuesday like this before but it turns out I only posted a small collection of car derrieres. It's kind of funny that not even two years in I am already losing track of what I've posted, anyway my poor memory aside today's Theme is the ass end of cars. I tried my best to get only direct back shots but I made a few exceptions in cases I deemed appropriate, hopefully you do as well.

It's time to get to the outside of SEMA, finally! While the entire SEMA show was impressive I would have to say the outside had the most modified cars per square foot. However it was also hot, very hot compared to Ontario and walking around with a laptop in my bag wasn't helping so I did it in stages between the halls. Here's part 1 from the outside.

I'm an early gen S-10(/Blazer/Jimmy/Sonoma) fan, and have been for as long as I can remember, even before I knew that they came in potent Sy/Ty versions. I'm actually still convinced Sy/Ty's are two of the best production trucks ever made. One big problem with my love for these trucks is that few survive our winters. I can think of a handful of clean s10s/blazers in the area and one Typhoon, and that's one of the reasons why seeing this once Sonoma GT at SEMA was such a treat.

I've got a few cars today that make no sense but first this news: Some knuckle headed thieves stole the 35 Ford Custom known as "Ruby Deluxe". It was stolen in it's trailer along with the truck towing it from a residence in Burbank. More information about this mind boggling theft cam be found on the H.A.MB. If you have any info email [email protected]. Now to the rest of this Fridays wtf....

Outside of the Las Vegas convention center SEMA was held at Meguairs's put on a little something they called the Car Crazy Showcase . It was a collection of mostly muscle, classic, and hot rodded vehicles and was really quite interesting. I spent a lot of time in this area and this batch of coverage contains most of the shots from there. Thinking back I know there are a few I missed so those will show up in the rest of my outdoor coverage.

The last few SEMA Showstoppers I've posted have been fairly involved, very custom builds that don't really represent what most people do in their own garage, so today I decided to post something a little more reasonable built buy the guys and gals over at Holley Performance. This C-10 is the type of resto-mod you could see someone do to the truck they rode in as a child with their mother or father, and that's probably why I like it so much.

So I was doing some thinking when working on this post: If each post had a minimum 30 pictures, and this is part 5 then that means that at the end of this post (not including the showstoppers) I will have posted at least 150 pictures from the 2010 SEMA show, damn. I'm not even all that close to being finished, I am however done with the inside of the show after this post (more or less :P)

I've got another round of coverage from the central hall of SEMA today. Today's post is very picture heavy (50+) so those of you on smart phones consider this your warning. Lot's of variety in today's post so there should be something for everyone, there is also even a little something for Transformers fans...

Previously I mentioned that I had a few different plans for some of the in depth vehicle and booth coverage I got from this years SEMA event. Dubbed 'SEMA Show Stoppers' these are the things that stopped me in my tracks and demand further attention. Today's SEMA show stopper is the 'Big Job' which is a 1956 Ford F-750 merged with a Chevy HD chassis that was brought to the show by Dieselwheels.com and Insane Kustoms.
