I saw you mention that on FB. Curious what your other one(s) was? Was it something related to Z cars?

Thanks,
Todd Z.

Thanks for the read.
MadFab was there attending in 2019. Taz, Bella and I were there in that crowd and it was crowded. We walked for miles everyday at both sites looking at all the stuff. I got a sign book from Todd that year and met a bunch of friends.
We will attending again in the coming years..

I hope Todd doesn't mind if we use this thread to post pictures from SEMA... I will start with a few:

I really LOVE that F-150....man, but don't have a million to spend on a drift truck.

Since it is not a "Ford approved" body, the word Ford doesn't appear on the grill or tailgate.
The fit and finish (Paint/seam sealing) has improved over what I saw the last year, but in my Type A world, there is still room for improvement.
Then there is what happens when there is a warranty issue? What happens if something occurs where you need to match the paint?
Price point is very attractive... time, labor, and materials is definitely up there for a bronco body done in the states, but I still would buy a locally produced body if that was needed to be done.
I have tested the "You get what you pay for" rule before and generally lost...
