Our last award was for YOU to decide and select the winner. We chose 10 of our favorite rides from SEMA and let you choose your favorite for the Customer Choice award. The winner was one of the the sexiest customized 30's Packards I've ever seen. The father and sons combo, called G3 Rods, built this all by themselves and showed the true meaning of restraint when customizing the car. The big thing I liked was that the majority of the parts on the car were the original Packard parts they just massaged, smoothed, and blended to just improve upon the original shape and lines of the car. I literally gasped when I walked up on the car and saw that side profile. Talk about FLOW! It really is a breath of fresh air, at the SEMA Show, to see a car that draws attention like this car did without an obnoxious paint scheme, a loud radio, or a half naked model laying across the hood. We hope more people start taking notes from guys like Jay and co. at G3 Rods and start building and customizing vehicles from outside the normal "Big Three"! Great job guys!

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.
