Update and SEMA

We have had to put the turbo project as a secondary priority. I have been very ill for the past 4 weeks, I've lost 45 pounds in 2 weeks and been put on a lighter workload by doctors orders. But I am very happy with the way our campaign is still moving forward. We have the headers being built right now, but our header builder just moved to a larger shop and is having a tougher time than he thought moving in. The turbos have arrived at the company who will be coating different parts of the turbo.

We have a special offering for anyone that wants to go to SEMA at the end of this month. Please inbox me or email me at
thechopshopinc@live.com
If you want to know more. We have 2 different sets of tickets to get rid of.

Seriously, that's a scary amount of weight loss. Don't push yourself too much! We will be patiently waiting for updates...

Hope you feel better. I had a bout with diverticulitis this year that shed some pounds and put me in the hospital. It's not fun!

All I have to say is In-N-Out, that'll put the pounds back on!

Seriously though, hope you get better soon!

I ate as much as I could stomach, pun not fully intended.

As far as SEMA goes. Here is the deal. I will be emailing the people who either emailed me, facebooked me, or pm'd me, a few days early to give them a "headstart", if you will. This trip will involve the following:

Flight for 2 Leaves October 29th Returns October 3.
Room at the Stratosphere for 2
2 tickets to SEMA

We also have invites to VIP parties as well.
And, the winner will also accompany us to SEMA 2013 for our unveiling.

This is a big deal. SEMA is not open to the public.

Here is what we need. For every facebook share on your wall you get one enter. Simple. We will do the drawing October 25th. We know this is short notice, but we just got this cleared by our committee, hence the addition of 2013 was added. There are more ways to get entries. We will be letting you in on everything soon. Email if you want. I met Chip Foose, Jesse James, Vaughn Gittin, and a lot more last year.

You can also make a donation to our campaign and go for sure this year, next year, and we are negotiating for 2014 also. 3 years for one donation.

www.facebook.com/hybridhotrod

www.indiegogo.com/hybridhotrods

Get a jumpstart on entries, we can see everyone that likes the page and shares the link! Go like our facebook page and then go like the campaign, and then share away.
