A little taste of SEMA 2007

I'm a little deep in the Dodge project right now, so don't have enough time or energy to devote to resizing and cataloging all the pictures we took at SEMA this past week. So I thought I'd put up a few of a couple of cars that were on display, built by our buddy kennyd. The first is the infamous '69 Camaro made famous by the theives that took his truck, trailer, and a bunch of parts for this car just over 3 weeks ago. Not fazed by a little adversity, Kenny and crew plugged on, got some more parts, and got the car done in time for the show. The second car had a somewhat less dramatic run up to the show, but is also a beauty. Enjoy!

I'll try to get some more up later in the coming week as time allows.

And again Kenny, I owe you big time. Thanks for the help with the body.

And one more angle on the Camaro. With the crowd that was always around it it was a miracle to get a clear shot!:)

the car looks great :D its good to know even a couple of low lifes could not prevent the show from going on..congratz kennyd on a beautiful car

Okay, here're some more.

These are from a couple days before the SEMA show opened. The local SoCal Speedshop franchise hosted an open house and these were some of the local beauties in the lot. For those of you who are Shine fans a pic of his engine. Then, a '27 style lakester with a supercharged engine. And then a '29 on '32 rails with a little blower action through the hood. Oh, and something that kenny dropped out of his trailer..................:confused:

Now, back to the SEMA show itself. There are always some interesting innovations and some fabulous craftsmanship on display.

The first is a '35 Ford 3 window that was a recent Street Rodder feature. The second is a little lakester that resembles a '27 Ford, but we found in the Mopar Speed Shop. Both had some interesting interior details.

And for those of you who have enjoyed the Blastolene Specials before, here is the latest one to sneak out of the studio. Take a close look at the body work on those well rounded fenders!

This is all I have time for tonight, but more will be posted later.

What does this Blatolene have for power? Another Allison or ? As for the Kenny D. drop off, looks like a nice one!

Hey Dave, The Blastolene car has a 702 inch, 60* V-12, that was produced in the '60's by GMC. They went into over the road haulers, constant use deep well irrigation pumps, & heavy trucks, I've even pictures of one in a mobile Patriot missle launch platform. The motor weighs 1485 lbs., produced 250hp. @ 2400 rpm/585 ft./lbs. @ 1600-1900 rpm. The name of the car is The B-702. The first two are of the frame/engine during the build and the last is showing ( not to well) that the grill is actually made from glass. Hope you like :) :)
Regards, Tony
