I think you guys are spot on with parts placement and car justification. Not being a builder with extensive mag coverage looking to attract customers, it's a different animal for me. I've traveled to car and industry shows all over the country, but SEMA holds a special spot for me. I think it's the international flare that changes the dynamic of the crowd. Last year I spent so much time looking at CHC's red '66 because it's so similar to what I'm doing. The guys spent time with me explaining how they got there, and the relationship with Magnaflow. I appreciated that. As a consumer I came home knowing I was gonna use a Ridetech system, House of Kolors paint, Vintage Air, and an MSD Atomic EFI system. All of those decisions were up for grabs on the plan ride in, and none of it's gonna be free. Getting a car there isn't about free parts or an ego trip for me, but rather just knowing my car is sitting on the world's stage with my family's interpretation of what a '67 Chevelle could be. I think that's the most rewarding part.
