Forum: 2009 SEMA Show Las Vegas - Nov 3-6, 2009

One of the flashier 2010 Mustangs we came across at the SEMA Show this year was a project put together by Mustang Depot. Called “Rebellion”, the car is defined visually by its striking flamed paint work by Joel Stevenson at Ten Ten Custom Paint. It really caught our eye from across the lobby and...

This is the first year my wife (MANGOSMAMA here) attended SEMA with me. She is an awesome photographer and shot most of what is in our photo galleries for the SEMA Show. So a big shout out goes to her for busting it to take some 700+ pictures this week. Here are some of the latest I just added...

Here is some of my SEMA pics. Ok just picks of my car at SEMA.

Shelby brought us out to Las Vegas Speedway for a special evening unveiling ceremony for two new products. One of them was a new post-title package for owners of the 2003-2008 F-150 pickups. The project was the brainchild of Gary Davis, a long timer at Shelby Automobiles who always wanted to see...

First, lets thank Shay for the incredible pics and coverage:cheers:, after viewing his pics, here's my top list (in no order), unfortunetly, Roush didn't make the list.

The Ford booth had some of the best cars I can remember since first attending this show back in 2004. While the economy might be in the can, it has forced the creators of parts and showcase cars to work harder in my view. This has brought some of the best levels of creativity I can remember at the...

This flat finish 2010 Mustang caught out eye because it was at first glimpse a Roush. While it carries much of the Roush body package, many other custom touches reside on this sinister looking car. http://www.fnsweet.com/gallery/files/4/7/8/llimg_4225.jpg CGS Motorsports who built this car is...

Check out ALL of our RANDOM SIGHTINGS photos now. We shot hundreds of photos and because we love all cars (not just Fords and Mustangs), a lot of other things caught our eyes. So we have a lot of what we call "Random Sightings" to share which are not Mustangs of Fords. SEMA is about...

We were invited out to Las Vegas Motor Speedway tonight by Carroll Shelby to see his latest offerings and were quick to take him up on it.
