The Goodguys Rod & Custom Association will present its all-new Goodguys GOLD Awards during the 2013 SEMA Show in Las Vegas. All cars on display at SEMA that have a Goodguys decal on their windshield will be eligible for a Goodguys GOLD Award. Indoor display cars, outdoor display cars and all featured exhibit vehicles, regardless of year, make or model are eligible for a Goodguys GOLD award, provided they’re displaying a Goodguys windshield decal.

The winners will be announced at the Goodguys Rod & Custom Association booth in Hot Rod Alley (booth #22375) Wednesday, November 6, at 2:00 p.m. All exhibitors, fans and enthusiasts are welcome and encouraged to attend the winner’s announcement ceremony!

All five GOLD Award winners will receive a special billet anodized GOLD bar trophy, as well as an invitation to the Goodguys 16th Southwest Nationals, November 15–17, at Westworld in Scottsdale, Arizona, to park in an area reserved for GOLD winners. The winners will also be photographed for inclusion in the Goodguys Goodtimes Gazette magazine.

The new awards are the first of their kind for Goodguys at SEMA. “The SEMA show has long been an industry showplace for freshly built hot rods, customs and musclecars, as well as late models to make their debut,” said Goodguys President Marc Meadors. “We wanted to do something exclusive and special at the SEMA Show in recognition of today’s top builders. SEMA has become one of the top car shows in the world, and it only makes sense for Goodguys to honor what we feel are the top five cars on display.”
 
If you’re debuting or showing a car at SEMA this year and do not currently have a Goodguys decal on your car, you can stop by the Goodguys booth for a complimentary one. For more visit www.good-guys.com.

Students from the Alex Xydias Center for Automotive Arts (AXC) install a Whipple supercharger into the WD-40/SEMA Cares Foose Ford F-150 at the SEMA Garage.
  

Excitement around the WD-40/SEMA Cares Foose Ford F-150 continues to build as students from the Alex Xydias Center for Automotive Arts (AXC) and leading SEMA manufacturers install more top-of-the-line parts and equipment on the one-of-a-kind, off-road truck. Last week, inside the SEMA Garage-Industry Innovations Center, LGE*CTS Motorsports helped install a custom bed cage, and the build team put in a Whipple supercharger, among other upgrades on the Foose-inspired vehicle. By the time the truck debuts at the 2013 SEMA Show, the WD-40/SEMA Cares Foose Ford F-150 will have more than 600hp.

A press conference being held Tuesday, November 5, at 12:00 p.m. in the Grand Lobby of the Los Vegas Convention Center will officially introduce the custom truck to Show attendees, with Chip Foose saying a few words about what went into the special project vehicle. The finished truck will eventually be raffled off to one lucky winner in early May 2014, with proceeds benefitting three SEMA Cares charities—Childhelp, Victory Junction and the SEMA Memorial Scholarship Fund.

The custom vehicle has already been painted with BASF Onyx HD paint by LGE*CTS Motorsports and features a converted front Raptor suspension with Icon Vehicle Dynamics 3.0 coilovers and upper uniball billet arms, as well as ICON rear triple bypass shocks with Atlas 3.0+ leaf springs. Outfitted with Baja Forged front and rear bumpers by LGE*CTS Motorsports, the custom Ford F-150 also has a Boatec Raptor fiberglass hood, fenders and bedsides. AMP Research recently supplied and installed power running boards, bedsteps and a tailgate extender to make it easy to get in and enjoy the Katzkin leather interior and Clarion sound system being installed by Audio Innovations.

The vehicle will also feature a Gale Banks Straight-Shot performance system and Magnaflow, cat-back exhaust system. The custom truck will ride into the SEMA Show on Falken Wild Peak A/T 37x12.5R17 tires wrapped around 17x9-in. MHT Fuel Maverick wheels in a matte graphite finish.

Check out photos of the build in progress.
