Dylan Goacher, owner of Goacher Street Legends (GSL), is building a ’68 Nova to compete in this year’s SEMA Battle of the Builders. It took hard work, ingenuity and custom upgrades to build a street rod that looks like a musclecar. The custom Nova will be suitable for both the street and race track. Among the many customizations, the Richardson brothers racing steering wheel is made to match the front WELD V-series wheels. See more of this vehicle below and find out why Goacher says “if you get into SEMA Battle of the Builders, you feel like you’ve made it in the car-building industry.”


Brandon Wargo has been working at The Custom Shop for a few years and is building his own vehicle to compete in the 2018 SEMA Battle of the Builders. His custom Datsun 2ATZx is a play on words with the 280z and the ATX. Wargo shows off how he used parts from other manufacturers to build his custom vehicle, including the Cadillac ATS, Chrysler Crossfire and Mitsubishi Lancer. Find out why this year’s competition means a lot to Brandon:


Sixteen-year-old Brennan Goodwin is excited to enter his first-ever Battle of the Builders competition at the 2018 SEMA Show. He will bring a military Baja Hummer that came straight from Iraq. The build includes a five-stage Allison transmission, custom roof rack, mesh insert, custom rear spare tire carrier and a Scorpioned body. Hear how this Young Gun designed his special military Humvee and what is means to him to participate in this year’s competition:

Las Vegas
Buyers come to Las Vegas for the SEMA Show from more than 140 countries, with Canada at the top of the list.

Last year’s SEMA Show coverage in “Driving,” the automotive section that appears in many Canadian newspapers, including the Calgary Herald, Edmonton Journal, and Montreal Gazette, reported that “There are several Canadians … at the SEMA Show, and they’re hoping to put Canada’s mark on the automotive world.” In the November 2017 article, reporter Jil McIntosh noted that the SEMA Show is where business owners in the automotive aftermarket go to connect with potential buyers.

More than 2,400 exhibiting manufacturers are set to head to Las Vegas, October 30–November 2, to participate in the 2018 SEMA Show—the best place for automotive professionals from all over the world to see new products and vehicle debuts. Buyers come to the Show from more than 140 countries, with Canada at the top of the list.

“The automotive industry is strong in Canada, and it’s a fairly easy flight from Canada to Las Vegas,” notes Peter MacGillivray, SEMA vice president of events and business development. “Plus, the city of Las Vegas is a great destination with a wide variety of hotel and restaurant options, so it makes for a great business trip.”

Unlike applicants from other international countries, those registering for the SEMA Show from Canada still have time to receive their badges in the mail before the event. The deadline for those in the United States and Canada is October 12. After that date, approved registrants will receive a barcode on their confirmation email, which can be used to pick up a badge onsite.

Canadian attendees will be able to attend the SEMA Show all four days of the event with a single badge, which will provide access to SEMA Ignited—the official after-party held Friday, November 2.
