Boosted Bela, the 56 Chev... from a field in Memphis to the Mobil One booth at SEMA, built by Retro Designs Speed & Custom and Chevrolet Performance’s hot rodding and racing arm, The Block. The interior is a stunning masterwork by Steve Kurzman of The Custom Stitching Co..




the interior is incredible, and only the full photos of it at https://theblock.com/bela  do it justice



This was a project car for Chevrolet, they built it from a field found wreck, and have an entire website dedicated to it, where you can see the build, the design evolution, and tons of photos https://theblock.com/bela

two cars from "Furious 7" were at SEMA this year, the Charger and Challenger that were sky dropped






one engine builder's booth had an incredible collection of old parts packages, tins, and boxes












Cragar had a cool booth at SEMA, and an awesome guitar for a drawing prize




Coker Tire has a nice booth at SEMA each year, I was finally able to get a photo of it without a crowd



this cool sign was hang from the rafters, not many companies exhibit a cool old sign along with a cool booth

the Stampede Rod by Welder Up





The interior of the Stampede Rod was created Leonard Payne of Wicked Stitches Las Vegas https://www.facebook.com/WickedStitchesLV who didn't do me the courtesy of giving me credit when using my photos on their facebook page. Strange people go asking for credit when not doing likewise, especially when taking and using what doesn't belong to them from the very guy they ask to give them credit.




Toyo Tires sponsored a lot of vehicles, and they included the only IH Scout I saw at SEMA

the Golden Empress
