Builders age 27 or younger were selected by partnering organizations (AutoCon, Bonnier and Goodguys Rod & Custom Association) to receive a Young Guns prize package that includes an all-expense-paid trip for two to the 2017 SEMA Show, transportation of the winner’s vehicle, a designated feature spot at the Show and entry into the Battle of the Builders.
