We get builds through referrals mainly. Good Guys booth space has been good to us. Is SEMA good to us? I would say YES. Does it stroke our egos...YES. Is it a pain in the butt to get a car done, in place and then spend an entire week in Vegas babysitting a car? YES!!
We are at it again. Putting together an LS9 67 Nova for the Dynomax people. They are awesome to work with and this will be the third year with them. They treat me like family.
Have I ever got a job out of it? NOPE. But, where it has helped is the other 51 weeks at the shop when a potential customer stops by and we can usually show them one or two cars that have been to the "big dance". It gives us credibility. They can see our work first hand.
but mostly I enjoy meeting people I have looked up to. last year my highlights were meeting Bobby Alloway and Jeff Smith checking out a car we had brought.
