Rain couldn't keep the outside area of the SEMA Show from shining! Trucks seem to be everywhere at SEMA 2015, especially customized C-10s! I love the clean lines and AccuAir-delivered slammed stance of this one.

I've never seen a cleaner tractor! Seen in the PAC Springs booth in South Hall, not only does it have it's own 4-banger engine but it's got a HEMI behind it for some extra "push!"
You know you're at SEMA when you see something that makes you say, "What in the world!?" Love it or hate it, you've got to respect the work that went into this vehicle 'Valyrian Steel' constructed by Henry Chang and his team at Playaworks as a Burning Man art car. Powered by a Coyote 5 liter V8, this is still a work in progress awaiting wheel fenders and sculptural bodywork.
All cleaned up from Ultra4 Nationals, Shannon Campbell's "Dragon Slayer" is always a welcome sight. Seen here in the Nitto booth in South Hall.
We said trucks were big this year, right?! And by "big" - we mean they're all over SEMA AND they're actually... "big".

Another nod to Mad Max, this build is the perfect canvas to sell some lit-up off-roading flags!
Maybe Mad Max helped spread some inspiration, but SEMA 2015 has a number of unique post-apocalyptic type builds. This one, found in the lobby of the South Hall, didn't miss a detail. A chopped, turbo-boosted Willy's by HAUK Designs it looks ready to take someone on a far away picnic in another land.

What's this! Yes another example of how hot slammed trucks are this year.
The Car Crazy area out front always has plenty of eye candy. This Pontiac GTO is built to the nines.

I'm not sure where this Dodge truck came from - but I've never seen anything quite like it before!

Following up on the attention-grabbing cars they exhibited out front last year at the SEMA Show, Las Vegas locals WELDERUP brought a few examples of their patched-up creativity for SEMA 2015. A big rig that looks like it could get anywhere and do anything and two "rat rods" that could take you for one fast and crazy ride.
I spy a not one, not two, but four bottles of NOS!

Big trucks, little trucks... trucks, trucks, trucks.
Rolling with Asanti.
This Porsche Speedster was unlike any I've seen before. In the Coker Tire booth out front- it's boosted and has every little details down to etched glass and carved chrome details. Even the stereo is hidden in the custom luggage behind the driver.

We hear Mr. Vaughn Gittin Jr. is going to drift this bad boy in the Ford Out Front area on Thursday. Who wants to see?!
This 1950 International Metro makes the perfect little ice cream truck. Built and painted by PJ Burchett it's displaying the splendor of Cromax candy paints and clear coat.
Getting autographs and seeing the drag car of NHRA Hall of Famer of Dave McClelland.
Rain, rain, go away... so that Sung Kang's FuguZ can come out and play in the Driving Line booth. Until then, it's been casting it's glow in the SEMA Garage area inside the lobby of Central Hall.
This 1948 Ford Convertible Dunesmobile is an very cool slice of history!
We said there's trucks... it turns out Jeeps follow suit. Chopped on top, lifted from below.
PPG's booth always has a fun and different theme - this year it's Mardi Gras. Added to by this custom 1968 Chevrolet Camaro "Impulse" by Bonnell's Rod Shop.
Another clean Rocket Bunny x GReddy Datsun found in Central Hall's hallway.

"Impulse" Camaro interior in PPG's booth in Central Hall.
It's not all show cars, there's work being done too! At Eastwood's booth SEMA attendees flock to see new products used.
Meguiar's in Central Hall always has super clean cars to display (ha!). This 1940 Mercury Sport Coupe built by Rob Ida Concepts is no joke! You don't see a car this clean and finished very often, not a detail has been missed - including the louvered undercarriage panels.
