How the Ford area was made at the 2011 SEMA (very cool for anyone who saw the cargo containers with the irreplaceable race cars on top)

found on http://www.macscustomtiedowns.com/?r=macstd

Mac's proudly (and rightly so) lets you know that Ford trusts Mac's tie downs to secure it's irreplaceable cars, so does Jay Leno, and Hotchkis

here's a video that shows why, with a pull test between some other manufacturers strap, and the same size and cost Mac's

Heard of the Boss 302? Of course. The Boss 429? Probably. I doubt you've heard of the Boss 494. 10 were made for Can Am, one for Mario Andretti, here's it's second life with just 777 hp at the flywheel

Great car cover

One reason SEMA is so damn fun to walk around, the new things that manufacturers show up with every year

A new take on a UPS truck was at SEMA

The Takeout T

the only T among nine other ’29 to ’34 Fords at the 2011 Grand National Roadster Show, it came away with the AMBR Most Outstanding Engine award, the Jalopy Journal Pick (which most traditional hot rodders would consider the most prestigious), and the Triple Gun Award of Excellence

 Russ is a member of the Spokane Washington car club, Thee Inland Emporers, and one of their logos happens to look like a T hot rod in the shape of a Chinese food “to go” carton. And that’s where “The Takeout T” name comes from.

The full size Matchbox truck at SEMA, a cool search and rescue look

Trucks and the GT 500 Shelby Mustang from SEMA's Ford Racing area

 This is a different one below

This is a raffle car, buy tickets, get a chance (I doubt it) of winning this and a new GT500 Shelby Mustang, plus the 50 thou to pay off the taxes for winning

Vic Edelbrock's highboy, set 13 world speed records, and is an icon of streamlined dry lakes racers

Looks like about 4 or 5 inches of lift

The van of John Jackson ( NotStockPhotography.com) was back at SEMA, new paint, and looking better than last year. It's called the "Boogie Van"

the subtle panel paint is really well done, but doesn't overpower the total look of "Cool" by being contrasting colors or heavy outlined.. well done!

much better looking rims this year

This is one of the coolest awards I've ever seen made

Last years gallery shows it was dark blue with a sweet pinstripe piece on the back doors http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/11/john-jacksons-van-terrific-photographer.html

a couple pedal cars at SEMA were give aways, the Color Faktory did the work on the first one, nice!
