Each year we blow up our social media feeds with our favorite vehicles from SEMA. This year we decided we’d take it a step further and give the owners and builders of some of our favorite vehicles notoriety for their hard work. After some brainstorming the Eastwood “Hands-On” Awards were born. The idea behind these awards are to recognize some of the standout vehicles from the show. We judged on a number of factors from quality of work, execution of concept, and just outright ridiculousness of the finished product. Really the car needed to have something “special” to catch our eyes and earn the award. We’ll admit we leaned heavily on the smaller shops and DIY builders that didn’t have a million dollar dream team of employees and tools to finish the car, there’s plenty of awards out there for those guys!

Customer Favorite Award #2- 1935 Ford 3 Window Coupe
This beautiful 35 Ford was built by Lakeside Rods and Rides and is chocked full of custom modifications to really give it a great profile. We couldn’t get enough of that side profile view!

SEMA 2012- Eastwood Company Part 4 Coverage

SEMA 2012- Eastwood Company Part 3 Coverage
