2WD at SEMA

Well the show was great, I saw way to many new products than one person should ever see at one time. My mind went into over drive on all the new posibilitys out their. I only saw this one 2wd blazer, it had alot of nice work startedon it but I am not sure what the out come will be.
Their may have been more but I spent almost every waking hour on the OverHaulin set.

Re: 2WD at SEMA

No I was not working on the set, but the way my friend and I were treated by all the build team I felt like one of the gang. We were allowed in the paint booth, I helped mix all the black for the roof and top half of the car. During cutting and polishing stage of teh project the guys let me check out all stages of their work. They also gave me all the part #'s for everything they were using for the prosses as well as hands on teaching. They could not have been any nicer. We were their on thursday at 12 noon and only left friday morning around 5am for 45min to check out from our hotel then back till 6pm. During friday about 11pm the build guys started bringing Jim and myself Red Bulls about every 2 hours because they knew we were drained and they did not want us to have to leave to get somthing to drink. I also got the original hand drawn line sketch of the build from Chip Foose I was asked by Chris and Andreas to send my info to them for doing a build down in LA. Like I said it could not have been a better week.

Nice. When does this one air? I want to see that Challenger - they have a place in my heart as my first car was a 70 challenger R/T.

Re: 2WD at SEMA

Well I had to watch the Overhaulin' from the other side of the fence! But that's okay, at least I got an autographed mag from AJ...

So when is that episode supposed to air? Any idea? I spent so much time there that I am sure to catch myself in the crowd shots.

Re: 2WD at SEMA

Cool.

That was the only Blazer at SEMA. I loved the clean look of the windshield frame, but of course it will never take a top on again.

Somehow I missed seeing Courtney Hansen. What booth did she make an appearance at?

Re: 2WD at SEMA

I have to say I like the overall look of the Blazer, but whats up with the tunerish looking wheels? OH and it needs a little rake to it, not much , but a little would look better in my opinion.

Only problem with the rake is the pinch welt is sitting flat on the ground with no room for rake. He was showing off his chassie I think but I did not really look that close.

yeah I know, I think that the back looks too low when they are laid out flat. I would have left the back just slightly higher than the front, maybe a half inch to an inch

Yeh I know what you mean but I like seeing them laid flat just because they can be (if built that way) then for driving give it about a 1" rake
