Happy Veteran's day my fellow vets, here is a Power Wagon, and pinups

the twin 50 cals are easy to miss

Arlen Ness created this about a decade ago, but it's the 1st I've seen or heard of "Mach Ness"

Arlen Ness made this powered by a gas-turbine helicopter engine, when he saw Jay Leno’s turbine motorcycle but didn’t like the $250,000 price tag, so he built his own.

The bodywork is made entirely hand shaped aluminum of course. The design, concept, paint, and graphics were created by Carl Brouhard and the hand-made aluminum body work was by Bob Monroe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arlen_Ness

I don't think these mid 70s looking Ford trucks get customized much, maybe not many escaped the rust and wreckage through the years, but this one is good looking!

the hydraulics are hidden inside that storage box

cool AMX near the central hall doors at SEMA

a couple of display semis in the SEMA convention center parking lot in the early morning light... really pretty

really cool, display board, the first I can recall using a semi truck grill

looks like a shop truck, but it's actually a buttery powered Local Motors truck. Very cool

a steampunk motorcycle from SEMA from Travis Deeter and Welder Up, a '76 Honda

Cadillac valve covers on the front forks! Dodge ram hood ornament on the fender!

This website I just came across, advertised with the phrase "The Grand Tour Escapes on Wheels" has nothing to do with Clarkson, Hammond and May

it's  not bad, but, they do try to trick you to come over and take a look with that phrase "The Grand Tour" which made me think of the guys who now will be a week away from stunning us with the new version of the old top gear, but with the original crew... I sure as hell ain't talking about Flop Gear

Comedian Gabriel Iglesias has an ever-increasing VW car collection, something he affectionately refers to as the “Jay Leno Starter Kit.”

for the Italian car lovers, a video series is beginning about the Iso Rivolta

This will be the start of a web series of short documentaries on Italian Classic Car brands, where every season has a single topic. The production is independent and is intended to be transformed into an yearly production.

In the late 1940s Renzo Rivolta decided to transform his firm from producing fridges to motorcycles, and soon Italy was mad for motorcycles and scooters;  Piaggio's Vespa, Innocenti's Lambretta, Ducati Cucciola and Iso Moto.

He then changed his business to automobiles. From city cars, like the "Bubble Car" Isetta, to luxury sport cars with American V8 engines. The most famous model is the Iso Grifo, a gorgeous turing car designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro and Giotto Bizzarrini at Bertone. When Renzo died, the company went to his son, Piero Rivolta.

Iso Rivolta closed in 1974, due to the oil crisis, on one side, and its artisanal approach to production, on the other; the cars were too expensive and the production model was not sustainable anymore against the streamlined productions.

it's not often someone chooses a plain old Dart for their project car to customize, the one turned out terrific (awesome shifters)

nice Jeep Wagoneer and 60s trailer

there are rarely any Barracuda at SEMA, and fewer that are customized to look race ready, this one is just great! Fishtail is it's name

good choice of 1970 head lights, grill, and tail lights. I wonder if the sign is wrong, or if they actually found a far less desireable 72 and switched the far better looking 70 parts onto it?
