no the tranportation, hotel and SEMA fees were all on me ! If you get inside and set up in a booth i think they usually take care of your expenses. This being my first SEMA it was all out of pocket for me plus missing 8 days of my 100% commission job ! IT WAS A VERY EXPENSIVE ENDEAVOR !!

i can immagine , i been in the states for three weeks on a workholliday (collecting my orders and packing them for transport to europe )
3 weeks cost me about 5000 dolar including flight rentacar food and econo hotels

read a thing on the internet a while back about how to photograph cars , it adviced to use the morning light and lower the camera down to carlevel so you dont have reflections in the windows but better shine in the paint and chrome
im kindah sorry i never saved the link i had made a few pics using this advice and they came out realy good
another good thing about taking pics early in the morning is that the crowd isnt walking in front of the cam all the time

Life is about your experiences and you will have the memories for a life time. Not to mention your grampa, I am sure he is super proud of you and his old truck. Congrats to you and your family for your accomplishment .

Very true. That having been said, Zoomin is spelled with no trailing "g" for those of you looking to update your beneficiaries.

**67cheby** · 11-12-2012, 04:27 PM

VERY TRUE ! Thanks guys !

**67cheby** · 11-12-2012, 04:56 PM

LOL, that was a good one ZOOMIN !

Graham57a · 11-12-2012, 07:08 PM

Just curious Mike, how did you go about getting so many sponsors on board with your build???

**67cheby** · 11-12-2012, 07:37 PM

The companies want to see what kind of reach you as a representative can give their product, The fact that my truck was going to SEMA and the online presence that my truck has both here and on facebook helped alot also ! i think the SEMA thing was the biggest part !

The first 4 sponsors that my truck picked up contacted me about using their product on my truck , that of course started the wheels turning in my head and I started contacting the companies after that, about 40 percent of the companies that I contacted were willing to sponsor in some form the rest said no or didn't even respond !

The rack idea sounds cool! Aluminum? Tiger Maple?

In case you're interested.....

LOL, i will do , the rack is actually just steel tubing that will be painted silver and the slats are completely done already and yes they match the bedwood !

Thank you man !

**67cheby** · 11-13-2012, 11:02 AM

thanks man, yes i do appreciate that !

**67cheby** · 11-13-2012, 02:27 PM

LOL, i think you were on the right track already !! As far as the color goes thank you i owe that to my wife and a little guidance from Mitch Henderson !

jlsanborn · 11-13-2012, 03:04 PM

Ha! I figured that color out months ago but didn't want to ruin your surprise. When you said that you'd have something that "screamed VeeWee" on the outside I was going to throw a picture of a swamp cooler on here. That would've trumped the gold thing I bet!
