Good Guys. You lose no cool points at SEMA for debuting at another show, and you get to work out the kinks (and I get to see it in person)...

If you can be 100% done without rushing....GG...if you will have to rush and potentially scratch/damage something...wait for SEMA...

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
I would say at thios point "Dont Rush" if it is completed and ready to go then show it at GG if not then "Sema" should be your next goal date.....

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
SEMA... you've only got one debut & not just anyone can debut @ SEMA... GG will be there.
I also agree that your sponsors might like a SEMA debut too. |

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
I agree with debut it at SEMA, you only get one chance at that. You can work out all the bugs at your house and around the neighborhood. Don't rush it just get it done for SEMA.....

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
I agree with jwall wait for sema. Test before you go out but have it a show virgin sema. Debuting at sema is like being a nerd in high school but taking the cheer leading captain to prom. It will probably only happen once for us at home hobbyists.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
I agree Mike, use the time to test the truck rather than worry about good guys. There will be no pressure and you can take the time you need. I am SO jealous......I would love to get ours to SEMA when it's done! Looking good man, hammer down!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
Mike... I'm going to have to request that every time you post a comment you will need to post a picture. Another page with no pics is unacceptable.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
Thank you !!
I see you post something and I get all excited that you may have posted more pictures... Its kinda like watching reruns of Fast Times at Ridgemont High and the power going out when Phoebe Cates gets out of the pool. Anti-Climatic

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
well there will be ALOT of pictures this next week, i recieved shipping confirmation today from CPP and from Dakota Digital !! The cab will come home to meet its frame on this coming Friday, on thursday i will drop off the doors/ fenders / grill / hood to the body shop ! As soon as my brakes get here so my frame can roll again i will get my frame back to the exhaust shop to redo the exhaust ! big week ahead ! and hopefully some interior progress !! I had a rendering done by KEG media that will run in next months Street Trucks Magazine for a SEMA preview !! it has been exciting for me ! making progress every day !
