Is it safe to assume that this is the car you're bringing to DGRR this year?

Some photos from my journey to SEMA 2012..





Saw several of these..

This car from NYC was heading to SEMA...




Later found out that the 350Z was in the caravan with one of my rotary friend from NYC... Manny who owns this FD.



I've known Manny for many years and one of the few rotorheads who's been in FD's for over 10 years. I think he had his FD since 1994??

Anyhow, 3 day trip to Vegas, we saw several of these..


many many semi's and many of the wind power stations.



And finally made it to Vegas..



and to the convention center.. in que to get the car in..

At SEMA update...

Sorry for the lack of update.. I'm going to share my experience at SEMA.

Well, as you guys have read, I have put the car together in 6 out of 8 days after chasis was painted. Due to lack of time, car is a roller... which made it very difficult at SEMA.

First, we couldn't unload the car until we were placed at a certain location to unload. We waited over 2 hours between central and south hall, waiting someone for us to goto a specific location to unload.

Finally after 2 hours, we were moved to front of central to unload the car.



From here, they couldn't figure out where I was suppose to park. We now waited another 2 hours til someone figured out where I needed to park.. which was front of North Hall.. a good 1/4 mile away from where we drop the car off, through the central hall, to North hall.


Waiting to be moved.. again..


While waiting, Enjuku Racing posted this photo on their facebook page... First photo to be leaked with all the panels on..



And finally made it to my spot... and before decals got on.

Looks good Phil. Incredible job getting this thing completed in time for SEMA. Have you adjusted the rear stance lower since these pics were taken?
