Anyone going to SEMA this year. I just booked the hotel and flights attending on Thursday and Friday. This will be my first time ever going to SEMA. I think two days ought to be enough.
Two days will get a good chunk of it knocked out. I'll probably go again in 2021!

How does one get tickets? I have been told you have to be in the industry in some way which I am not.
I'd love to get a couple tickets hint hint

I work for a a heavy duty truck OEM and have access. Getting folks in requires a bit of forgery.

Looks like some of you are already in Las Vegas. I will be flying Wednesday night and be there Thursday and Friday. :banana:
:needphotos: :popcorn:
I saw maybe 2/3 of it in 3 days when I went , Huge show :takealook:
I have been to SEMA seven times. Stayed at a different Hotel/Casino on the strip each time. Compliments of General Motors. The SEMA Show is the largest convention show in the United States. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes. Tickets are in high demand and SEMA really checks credentials when applying for tickets. Very hard to find a place to sit down unless you go to the building with all the latest seats. I took a rest and sat in a Recaro seat and ended up buying a pair couple weeks later. BTW, nothing is for sale there. At a fast pace it takes two full days to see everything. A "Bucket List" must do.
2020 looks like possibly going.
I just changed jobs as a Diesel mfg'r rep.
AAPEX is at the same time.
The guy buying my RT is coming from Sweden and hitting the SEMA show before swinging by to pick up his new car. He had connections.
So close and yet so far :crying: :Thud: :rofl:
After two days of constant walking and drooling, I have accomplished SEMA 2019 for the very first time. This is an amazing trade show and I am just glad that I got a ticket to get in. I covered all the show areas but might missed a few. The Chevy and Ford booths were bigger than FCA but I don't care. I filled out the FCA survey and got myself a free T shirt and a chance to win a price toward buying a FCA product. I also saw the Hellephant and Hellcrate engines. The all aluminum Gen III block got my daydreaming started. Also ran into a few TV celebrities including Dave R previously from GYCs.
I also stayed a llittle after the show and watched a few cars leaving. Very tired but I take the walk down the Blvd back to the hotel and watch a few more cars drive by. I know you guys want pictures and I took quite a few. I will post tomorrow when I get home.
7212Mopar reporting from Las Vegas.
Glad you had fun Warren. Yup it's an amazing show.
Co workers and I talked about going next year.
Sema always has cool stuff.
After looking through some pics of this years sema it appears that everything has a tent on top of it.
It appeared to be a pretty weak sema this year.
I can't say if this year is a weak SEMA year or not as it is my first time. For me, this is a huge show and I got a blast for two days. It was a gathering from many manufacturers and companies, many well known but I also see a lot of small companies unheard of vendors from Asia, Europe and Australia. We all know many cast aluminum wheels including OEM stuffs are made in China but these guys also make tires. I bet they will have a hard time penetrating the market as who wants to be the first to try.
I think the halo car this year has to be the new Toyota Supra and everyone is bringing their modified version of it. I must had counted at least 30s and I stopped counting after that. The next must be the new Mustang GT500.
Ok guys. The pictures will come in batches as I resize them. First batch is from the Dynacorn booth. I am wondering if they are a Taiwanese company as there was an old Asian gentlemen manning the booth. I must had spent at least 15 minutes looking over the Challenger shell and my head keeps telling me that it does not quite feel the same as how Mopar made it. I am not an expert and I confess I never seen an E body Challenger in bare metal skin from the bottom. The shell will need a lot of work to align the gaps and panel fitment. Take a look at the doors and trunk lid. The tail panel by the passenger side seems like it is off by about 1/2".
More pictures
From the Mopar Booth. Christine's interior was not finished, no door panels.
Thanks for sharing some pictures. Glad you got to go bro.
I thought Dynacorn scrapped the idea of making a Challenger shell due to lack of interest ? :dunno:

Does not look like to be the case. They have a lot of Challenger fliers at the booth. I could have asked if I knew.
That was my belief as well.
Possibly trying to drum up renued interest again because they already have the tooling.
Would have been very cool to be there !!
Anything on the 50th year for Chall ?
