The tires and rims display area at SEMA, the stuff that captured my attention




Hands free tire mounting! This isn't the only one on the market, but it was the first I've sever seen


This tire seat is comfortable too!

The yellow and red rims are interesting, I haven't seen any 2 spoke rim before... I wonder about the balance

The above was particularly impressive, good concept for a display




If you have balanced tires, like I have, you'll probably appreciate the full range of all the weights this company http://www.cnblueocean.com/ displayed. Myself, I'm impressed.


This is one bitchin display wall


The lever in the below photo has a nail welded to it, and any passerby gets to puncture the tire as many times as they want to prove to themselves how perfectly inflated the tire remains.

Grand National Roadster show odds and ends






1932 Ford Phaeton by Paul Gommi, believed to be one of about 50 still existing, but even more unique because it's believed to be the only SCOT supercharged 21 stud flathead ever built. All the work was done recently, but only parts and techniques that were available pre-1950















Below: Tom Leib's 1923 Wills Saint Clair, a Best in Class winner at Pebble Beach, one of 10 known to exist


Above by Brad Leisure


American Bantam roadster, ain't that cool?!


















Above 1950 Chevy Tin woody, found on EBay as a 4 dr before a lot of custom work was done






Michael Moal's 1929 Roadster, Moal bomber gauges




Boyd Coddington's French Connection 1939 Lincoln coach built
