 It's SEMA time again, that magical week where all the latest is revealed from the automotive aftermarket to industry masses looking to see what's new and hot. Once again the show is in Las Vegas, NV., and once again the public is not allowed in. This is so the working people in the industry can get their work done... distribution deals, new contacts, and the like. We only get in because we bring our cameras. This week, we'll be bringing you our take on SEMA highlights, so check back often for new video posts!

 Painting flames looks easy when it’s done by a pro, and we stopped in at The Custom Shop in Flanagan, IL, for a lesson in shooting fire on a 1964 Ford Galaxie Pro Street car.

 We've turned the corner on our 1965 Chevelle build, and we're finally starting to put the car back together. This time, we're re-assembling the newly painted chassis with a complete Hotchkis Total Vehicle System suspension package, along with some newly restored brake hardware and new brake and fuel lines. The Hotchkis kit is nice because it comes with all the parts you need to improve the handling performance of you car including tubular rear suspension control arms, Bilstein shock absorbers, oversize front and rear sway bars, and Hotchkis lowering performance springs. The kit also includes all the hardware you need to put it together. This car came with a decent disk brake kit installed, so we simply ran the parts through our Eastwood sandblast cabinet and then powdercoated them with an Eastwood Hot Coat kit. We reassembled the brakes with new pads, bearings, and Royal Purple Synthetic Grease . Next we installed new bushings and ball joints from OPGI, and then the parts were ready to bolt together. Our new brake lines were formed with a kit from YearOne . Finally, we shot the underside of the body with some PPG DP90 Epoxy black primer followed by a coat of 3M Body Shutz for protection. The wheelhouses were coated with roll on Herculiner truck bed liner to make them bulletproof, and then we mated the body to the chassis with the help of a body mount bushing kit from OPGI .

 This super-cool 1941 Willys is a throwback to the straight-axle gasser days, only it's big-block Chevy powered and cleaner than most.

 Mopar fans have another reason to get excited... the Mr. Norm's brand
of high-performance cars is back! Through a partnership with Time Machines,
Inc., the legendary Mr. Norm's Supercars live on. The Time Machines
crew started with a 2008 Dodge Challenger and up fitted it with special
Mr. Norm's striping, a Corsa exhaust, Afco headers and coil-over
suspension, custom 20" wheels, interior branding, and capped it off
with a 400 rear-wheel horsepower Diablosport tune. But that's just
the beginning... the Mr. Norm's Garage line continues into a whole line
of bolt-on suspension parts for Mopar musclecars like this 1970 Dodge
Challenger, a traditional and late model Hemi engine program, custom
EFI systems, and much more. And if you want the top of the line,
check out the Mr. Norm's Garage Supercar line, illustrated with this
1970 Cuda convertible with a 6.1 Hemi, EFI, 727 Trans with Gear Vendor
Overdrive, full Art Morrison chassis, custom leather interior, and much
more. It's a good time to be a Mopar fan!
