Impressive, stunningly impressive demonstration of perfect product performance

I've never seen how radiator stop leak works before, and this is so simple... marvelous demonstration rig. 6th product down this page: http://justicebrothers.com/pages/products/news_new_products.htmas if any other testiment was needed, you could read: http://www.paulhackmann.com/viewpost.php?idnumber=11

The better oil test; Seeing is believing; just add weights (pressure) until weak competition oil can't hack it any more and surrenders to friction

His accent masks the way he said that after 3 hundred pounds, "it fails". The Mobil One oil that is. Not that the ordinary lifter springs are 100 pounds of pressure on the camshaft, but they are over 100 pounds of pressure on most mild performance engines, like my double spring 906 heads on my last 383.

Be Bop at SEMA, nice touches of paint

Blue Tiger has the coolest racing simulator / video game I've ever seen! I want one Santa!

I think their computer is fit for traveling with, looks heavy duty! But you can use your own computer, the rep referred to any normal new Dell will do the job fine I bit of cool stuff: you can link up online and race other people, you can see various camera angles of the race, you can replay to see what your racing appeared to observers outside the cockpit, and you can forget the rest of the day

Some motorcycle stuff throughout SEMA

these Honda Ruckus look like a lot of fun... wish they had a test drive area for them. For a website post about it: http://clunkbucket.com/biggest-ruckus/ This next 5 are all from the same customizer/rider. Best backdrops at SEMA, but I've never heard of the guy putting all of these on display

Tire displays at the South hall... not a lot to see there compared to the main hall, but still worth the walk

Cool stuff that caught my attention at SEMA

If you aren't familiar, this is a Rolling Bones custom. They are well known by name for making fantastic customs I've been hoping to photograph this Barris emblem for a couple years One of the cooloest displayed vehicles, because it shows purpose captured, and brought into the diplay. Not the inferred power of the engine, or stopping ability of the brakes, but the mud that this takes on

This is a restoration and tribute to those who gave all I think this is Gene Winfields The magazine cover car I just happened across. That happens a lot at SEMA Similar enough to post them together Many awards have been won by this awesome custom, based on a Plymouth Savoy wagon if I recall correctly A tribute to Gene Winfield's Jade Idol Above: the Foose Hemisphere above and below at the

customized Scions at SEMA, the ideas that were incorporated are amazing

Hot rodding's artist, Kenny Youngblood was at SEMA and for a donation was personnalizing Challenger and Camaro prints
