A100's invade SEMA

Well, those of you who followed the Coup blog on the shortened A100
he built, he has been invited to display at SEMA in vegas for PPG paints.
this is quite an honor for him having built this beautiful truck.
Now in order for him to get there he thought of no better way to go
than to ask me to take him in the L600 and trailer. WE are leaving
tomorrow, Coup's a100, my L600 and enclosed trailer, and ground
transportation my 66 A100 p/u. when he asked how could i say no.
First stop is Salt Lake City for a car show and strippers show sat.
Then a few days there to see the Ed Roth museum and then on to vegas.
setup for SEMA is the following thur and fri, with the show nov 4/7.
any a100 guys in the salt lake area or las vegas areas.

Thats cool!

that should be posted in for sale not the sema show coming up

hey all, a little update on the trip. the trip out was not uneventful, somewhere
in iowa we burnt up a power switch. a quick hot wire and down the road again.
put in a 20 amp switch that got us to nebraska before it went. then we took the
rad fans off the power switch, new switch and hot wire fans for now. tightened up
a minor trans temp sender leak, and back on road. arriving in salt lake friday, thru
the truck wash and into deb's house. fixed a few minor problems then off to bed.
up at 6 and off to the kustom krase car show at 7 to get a good location, unload
setup and spend the day mixing with the locals. surffink and the l600 drew alot of
attention. they filled up the grounds with over 250 rat rods, customs, and cruisers.
the host club follows the traditions of ed "rat fink" roth in dressing and building of
their cars and life style. they had a pedal car build off, then auctioned off the cars
and many pinstriped items to the tune of over 10k for a local kids charity, AWESOME.
finished the day at an after show party with a band and magician.
sunday was work day, help coop detail the surffink, fix a few details on the rig, and
coop took time to stripe the fargo p\u, nice. there will be more to the adventure as the week goes on and we head toward vegas baby.

scottie

Good to hear your not having any major problem on you trip. Sure your getting Alot of attention where ever you go. Safe trip to Vegas

thanks for the update , be safe...

And a nother update 2,200 miles later Coop & Scottie made vagas.
With only a few minor glitches, a few bolts came loose, , a hose leak, a fuel leak
A flat tire on the trailer, and of course a state trooper had to sniff around looking for something,
After a question and answer session the police decided there was nothing to find,
Scottie is running non commerical license plates, and they were asking did any one pay for the fuel ?? the hotel ?? the hauling of the a100's ?? tying to bust them for commerical work with a non commerical plate, the police did not understand why someone would drive from Ohio to Vagas for
the SEMA show, and didnot know what the sema show was,
scottie and coop will be at the so-cal rod shop / cruise Friday, , Sat is a run around day sunday is a wash and wax and visit some freinds, Monday Coops van goes in to the sema show for display,
Tuesday thru Friday is the sema show, coop will be in the P.P.G. building doing pinstriping with the new ppg paints, So do stop in to see them,

Wish I was there!

Some very INFORMED =POLICE!! Likely -if u had the vans FULL of =Prostitutes==they wouldnt have even stopped you!!
