Now THIS is a collection to be proud of. The guys and girls at RideTech take a lot of pride in the fact that their components get used on many, many awesome builds. Well, this year is no exception and what you are going to see below is a sampling of the awesome stuff using RideTech parts and pieces at SEMA 2018. It is not ALL of them but it is a load of them and we are splitting your time here. Check out what we have below and then hit the link to the bottom to see the rest at RideTech.com!

The SEMA Show would be just another trade event if not for the hundreds of amazing cars on display. It’s cool to be part of an industry where cars are the stars. When the show opens, we feel like the proverbial kids in the candy store. Leading up to the show, however, we always crave more show car news. To satisfy our fix — and yours, we present our annual SEMA Car Spotter’s Guide. We showcase a few of the hottest cars and trucks to be displayed at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Everything shown here is RideTech-equipped, of course. We get a real kick out of working with these builders all year and watching these rolling works of art come together. RideTech will be streaming live on Facebook each morning so that you can share in the fun.
Wherever possible, we include the Exhibiting Manufacturer’s name and booth number so that you can find these cars on-site or follow along on the exhibitors’ Social Media pages.
Representing the east coast, Blue Ribbon Restorations in Derry, New Hampshire is coming to SEMA with 4 or 5 cars including this flyweight, all-aluminum Jeep called “Pinky”. The Ride-Tech-equipped one-off alloy chassis features C6 Vette suspension. An LT1 engine is backed with a paddle-shifted 8L90E transmission. Tires measure 335mm front and 345mm rear. Can you say Go Cart? We hear it will be part of the Michelin display. Follow Blue Ribbon Auto Restoration on Facebook.
Keg Media is a digital design firm that produces cool renderings among other things. They teamed up with Carolina Kustoms to build this 59 Impala. Equipped with a RideTech digital air suspension system and RidePro-X, the car will debut in the Arc Audio booth #34235. Check out KEG on Instagram @kegmedia
One of the most anticipated builds of the year, Square Body Syndicate will debut SS02, a 1976 GMC Indy Pace Truck Special. It rides on a Roadster Shop Chassis equipped with RideTech HQ Series shock absorbers. While the rendering is awesome, we can tell you that the real deal is spectacular. The retro “turbine” wheels will blow your mind. The debut takes place Tuesday October 30th in the Royal Purple Booth #23061.
Located in Arizona, Tony Arme’s American Legends hot rod shop is building one radical Mustang coupe called “Corrupt”. A roof chop and RideTech Air Suspension help the car sit radically low. Every body panel has been modified and sculpted including a rear window that has been laid forward. Arguably, the most radical feature is under the hood. Corrupt is powered by a twin turbo Ferrari V8. See it in the Odyssey Batteries Booth #24875 and follow the entire build on Instagram @corruptmustang.

River City Rods and Fabrication blew everyone away with their C10 Motorhome build last year. We expect the same reaction when people see this Ford B100 custom. Available only in Mexico and South America, Ford’s B100 model was a cross between a pickup and a van with tons of function, but awkward proportions. River City fixed the lines, converted it to a 3 door SUV configuration and then installed the body on a Roadster Shop chassis with RideTech air suspension and a Coyote V8. The grill is carved from a giant block of aluminum. See it in the Energy Suspension booth #23267 and follow River City Rods on Instagram @rivercityrodsia
