The show was a blast!
My muscles still are sore! I should've worn my pedometer just to see how many miles we walked in those three days!
This year's show definitely outshined last year - I think I only wanted to go the one day last year.

There were a quite a few there that I saw. George

I really liked this car, as it had custom airbrush bird and such, all over the car. George

I just could not get a perfect shot of the hood, due to the refexections. You can tell by all the photos, I really liked this car. George

This one was outside, as was the car above. Notice the paddle shifter in the steering wheel. George

Here are more photos of the car above.

It had a intresting rear spoiler.

I loved the Roll Bar and the rear stereo speaker setup.

Again, notice the rear spoiler.

I couldn't quite get the vin to show.

Intresting vents in the hood, I am up in the air on these.
Water would sure flow into the engine bay.

As you can tell again by all the photos, I really liked this car as well.

Great photos George!!! Looks and sounds like you guys had a good time. I'm with Dan where to start??? I have to agree I prefer the Kevin Morgan '69 rendition best, the other one is too pointy and the rearend treatment looks out of place. I really like the '80 TA too...........

There should've been a black twin turbo-ed '73 Formula somewhere around there too. That car was from a shop just north of me in Muskegon, Mi, some of the guys around here were talking about it making a debut at SEMA.

Again thanks for sharing George, I really need to get out there sometime for this.

92cont,
I like the one with the chrome nose much better.
I feel it copies the real '69 Trans Am much better.
Yes, the nose is pointy, but it looks more like the real thing to me.
I even love the chrome rear bumper in the back.
I am so tired of seeing a huge wedge of plastic in the cars now-a-days.
I do feel sorry for all these guys making these conversions.
They cannot please everybody.
There is always someone who complains about something.
I look at it this way.
Let them all make their car in limited numbers.
In the end, it's the buyer's who will pay all that money to buy one.
My choices?
The Lingerfelter in Lucerne Blue and bright blue interior first.
Second choice?
The '69 version with the chrome front and rear.
Third choice?
The '69 version of Kevin Morgan.
In the real world?
The cheapest one that I could get.

Remember now, in all these versions, you pretty much have to buy the Camaro SS first, and then drop at least another 30 grand on top of that.
That's alot of money to spend.
With all that money, I could sure add a few more cars to my collection.

Ok...Lets see... I really liked the two second gens, the 80 T/A and the red 70-73.

The engine compartment covers in both are very nicely done. Great engine choices in both. I really like the airbrushing on the 80, despite all the airbrushing, the car still looks a bit subtle from a distance. I like the scooped hood and integrated taillights on the red car too.

Of course the Challengers look badass. I think we can all agree that the 392 car, white with blue stripes looks great.
