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...

X2 on that aspect for sure.

big_al_71 · 08-03-2012, 08:02 AM

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.....

JWall · 08-03-2012, 08:03 AM

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.

Bennett68C10 · 08-03-2012, 08:16 AM

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.....

But since I have exactly 0 trucks to show at either places I will now shut up and direct you back to your regular sceheduled program.

LOL, i am so confused !

i just dont know ??

I am sure leaning this way ! but i really want it at GG also ! LOL

LOW1TON · 08-03-2012, 12:38 PM

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.

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!

**67cheby** · 08-03-2012, 12:50 PM

thanks guys ! i appreciate the input !

funkytechmonkey · 08-03-2012, 01:21 PM

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.

**67cheby** · 08-03-2012, 01:31 PM

ok, ok..... brakes all off ready for new brakes from CPP !!! fenders ready for paint, doors ready for paint, bed braces painted !

funkytechmonkey · 08-03-2012, 01:38 PM
