So this was the first year that I got to go for the full week.

Checked out SEMA and AAPEX.

The first day was truly exhilarating as it was one bit of good news after another.

Turned out we had not one, but an unexpected second car that we worked on up there. Congrats to Bill Lohr and his badass Roush for getting to the show.

The REAL gem for us was the 33 Coyote powered Factory Five car that we worked on in the Falken booth. A HUGE congrats to Richard for getting it done.

(Sorry for some of the image quality. Trista got better shots with the big camera)

Custom headers done by Jaime over at Doug Thorley. SICK work.

A HUGE congrats to JR for getting the RTRX done and to the show as I know there were some pretty serious delays and complications. Car came out sick.

This was probably the most impressive Mustang to me based on overall fit and finish and build quality. I probably spent a total of one hour throughout the days checking this car out from top to bottom.

When 1 4v just ain't gonna get the job done:

Shelby's Code Red GT500. When it is time to get serious, dump the blower, go with the twins.

Probabaly one of the sickest/most original uses for a new Coyote motor goes to:

Non Mustang but I have always had a hard on for well built Merc's and this was a gorgeous example:

I have to say, that car was quite impressive, but unfortunately it is Shelby, so the 100+k price is definately not surprising.

I believe so. Also, you can't see it from the pic, but Vaughn Gittin's car is also Coyote powered with ITB's.

what'd u do on that first car? by going off the stickers it wasnt tires, brakes, headers, exhaust, stereo, or engine. theres not much left unless you all picked up some sewing machines and started doing interiors.

maybe those places supplied parts, but somebody has to actually install the stuff.

ahh. i love those types of cars because usually so much time and effort is put into every little area of the car. even little nooks and crannies of the frame that no one will ever see, are just as smooth and polished as the hood.
