SEMA Preview Day #1 of 7

As of this past Saturday, our trucks were loaded up, and heading out to next week’s SEMA Show in Las Vegas! This year, we have some pretty big news to announce, and I am going to be giving you a sneak peek each day for seven days building up to the show.

Live Coupe Build in Ford Performance Booth!

Twenty years ago, we attended our very first SEMA Show. Over the years, our booth size has grown, BUT this year, we are working out of THREE (3) booths!!! We have our traditional indoor booth (#23229), our big rig will be featured outside by the drift ring (#61013) along with five Factory Fives, and lastly, we are doing a live build of a Type 65 Coupe in the Ford Out Front area. The live build will start Tuesday morning, and will end with us drifting the car at the end of the show!

That decision became Blue Hills Customs. This MK5 Roadster is more than a project—it’s the first expression of a vision to create ultra-premium, one-off roadsters that blend classic design with modern performance and reliability.
