It's a show that allows companies to show off all their new products as well as concept vehicles. Besides all the different manufacturers and hot vehicles showing off manufacturers products and the abilities of various fabricator and custom shops, there's also all the SEMA girls hanging out (modeling) at the different companies booths....

 

[Jim Oaks]

I hope Bob Ayers goes. Bob takes a lot of nice photos....

Thanks Jim! I plan on being there, do you want me to be the designated TRS photog?


I normally take my wife to Las Vegas for her birthday every year, which usually falls on the week SEMA is going on. Last year her birthday missed SEMA, so I didn't attend SEMA. Here are some photo slideshow links for SEMA 2006:

We have stayed at many of the hotels on the "strip", but the Wynn is our favorite. There is a Ferrari & Maserati dealership in the hotel, so here are
some photo slideshows of the showroom, taken in Feb. 2006:

I don't care. If you see anything Ranger, off-road or Ford truck related and get some good pics, please share with us. Also any serious fab work, suspensions, etc that some of the guys here may want to look at for ideas.

Bob does great photography - I wish he had left that Monkees car out of the lineup - I had just about forgotten that car, sort of a PTSD thing happens every time I see it and the Barris Outlaw.

Hope the site puts out a notice when the new pics get posted.

You mean this car?

 

[woodyedmiston]

I'm not sure whether the most disturbing thing is the vaguely Chinese look of the front end of the car or the exhaust pipes coming out from under the Jimmy Blower. The car literally looks like an AMT model that the kid in your class that always had the snot bubble under his nose put together.
