Yep, there're always some interesting debuts at SEMA. Not always to my taste, but inspirational just the same. Evolution in the hobby is a constant.
Kenny (flh) there's the Project X video too, and some o' them Fords had Chebbie power.
For the Overhaulin' fans, I didn't get any pictures because they banned cameras in the tent, but a little disclosure. The project they were working on was a '52-54 (didn't see any trim to pin the exact year) Ford convertible. I only saw it in primer, but based on the painted engine and the upholstery fabric I saw it will be a green car.
EDIT: here's a partial pic of the car that a guy on another site managed to take.Last edited by Bob Parmenter; 11-06-2007 at 12:18 PM.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

A lot more green paint in recent times. What happened to the old ban on green, since it hurts resale? Are builders being "anti-establishment", or just trying to be different? .....or a little of each?

You're right about the green thing. If you've noticed, Trepanier has been on a green jag for a while. Kennyd was joking that he got a drum deal on green so keeps painting rigs that color til it's gone.
I've noticed too that green and green toned colors from '30s/40s Fords have been showing up more lately on rods. You're probably familiar with the paint company addage that the colors that are hot in the women's fashion of today will be the colors of OEM rigs a couple years down the road. So there may be a clue in that.
Speaking of kennyd, that "brown" on the '57 Chev is a departure from "normal", yet pretty striking. Vive le difference!!Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
