The 2012 SEMA Show is Under Way!

[Mad Dog]

The 2012 SEMA Show is officially underway in Las Vegas and early reports show that the Factory Five Booth is already packed with attendees checking out our latest and greatest. The Mk4 Roadster, ’33 Hot Rod, Type 65 Coupe, and GTM Supercar are all drawing big crowds with the new 818 also grabbing people’s attention. Here are some early photos from the show during Monday set-up and earlier today. More to come throughout the week.

Factory Five customer Karen Salvaggio’s Type 65 Coupe is one of the featured vehicles at this year’s SEMA Show displayed right as you enter the north hall. Very cool!

Factory Five customer Chuck Armstrong’s ’33 Hot Rod is one of this year’s featured vehicles at SEMA. With a paint job from Miller customs and an aviation themed cockpit, this is sure to draw a crowd.

Let's try to keep this thread to SEMA only pictures, no reposts or anything else. Just Mad Dog, Dave S or H or anyone actually at SEMA posting on this thread so the pictures are together not like on the other thread "818 SEMA Updates With Pics" where it explodes every few days and you have to go through pages and pages to find the info everyone is talking about! Please, for the sake of all of us that cannot be at SEMA, please let us at least see some of the glory :p!

Mad Dog, I count 9 FFR cars at SEMA:

Summit Racing Mk4 Roadster
MuscleCar TV 33 Hot Rod
Bob Bailin's GTM
818S
818R
818 chassis
Karen Salvaggio's Type 65 coupe
Pete Shoglund's 33 Hot Rod
Chuck Armstrong's 33 Hot Rod
Plus, plus I see the nose of a yellow 33 Hot Rod in the FFR booth. What's that?

The crew at SKJ Customs has a their newly finished Factory Five Mk4 Roadster on display at this year's SEMA Show as a featured vehicle. The guys at SKJ installed an LS3 engine and have done a custom interior. The car looks fantastic!

Maybe you can get some better ones of the Baja Designs GTM? All I have at this point are cell phone pics that aren't all that great. The car is only a few rows down from the FFR booth in booth 23333.

Here's what I got, but would love to see some better ones posted. Unfortunately I don't fly in until Thursday(gotta trick or treat with the kids)so I won't have any good pics until after SEMA 2012 is over to post.

Here's what I got so far:

[Oppenheimer]

Did overwhelming SEMA interest take out the FFR site? Just tried to go to www.factoryfive.com, and got 404 error.

[Mad Dog]

Hi Oppenheimer,

We're doing some work on the site security and that's causing the issue. It should be up now. Thanks!

[David Hodgkins]

I added close to another 100 shots today, and have close to 275 in this album:

Erik, if you get a minute can you check out that wild exhaust? Is there a diverted undercar system also? I see some glass wrap between the headers and the block. Now I know how to solve my bumper issue!!

[Arm7419]

Jay

It does have an under car exhaust exiting thru the diffuser.
