In just over a month we will be headed west for the annual holy pilgrimage to the Mecca of the automotive aftermarket; the SEMA Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center. As we look forward to the trip I thought I would share some of the awesomeness from the past couple of shows. The company I work for specializes in "modern muscle" so there is a lot of that in these photos but I will be keeping a close eye on the FRS/BRZ stuff this year as well.

Paint it Black and Gold, give it a tacky chicken hood decal and I'd been all in on this one!

Sweet! Now I just need a cowboy hat, a Bert Reynolds mustache and MomHawk in a tight pair of jeans, I'll be good to go!
I've seen a couple of these in the past but with a different front end, I like this one better. It sure makes a nice looking Trans Am/Firebird.

Hmmm, I'm seeing a theme in the pics but I just can't put a finger on it.

Nothing new about that, muscle cars have always been subject to this. Americans invented ricers, they just called them by different names (hot rods, street rods, rat rods, etc, etc).
Those Camaro/Firebird conversions are so channeling my inner 70's Redneck though. i feel my Southern accent coming back...

I know what you mean, I think I prefer the trans am conversions to the camaro as issued, and I didn't even live through the 70's... |
