Tig’d Up Tuesday on the Fabrication Life Facebook fan page was great this week in terms of submissions! You would think 10-15 submissions would have been posted but we were just a bit busy! Thank you again to everyone who posted.

The PRI Show (now owned by SEMA) has moved back to it’s classic location of Indianapolis.

the cold weather, attendance is looking to be strong over the next 3 days. We are at the Vibrant Performance booth, and will have free stickers available the entire show. Please stop by, take a few, and tell us if you follow us! We also plan to do updates periodically about the show on Facebook, and have a daily report about PRI posted on FabricationLife.com

We walked through the venue last night and snapped a few photos of the booths as they were setting up.

Seeing this car on track is mind-blowing at times.

Blower Cars always get big attention, this one will draw a crowd!

This build is extremely interesting. Ford GT with a blow-thru setup, using VanJen Clamps, big screw supercharger, electronic city, and a completely redesigned cooling system. More to come on this car on FabricationLife.com.

Here you can see the prep work going into the display.

We will update more on the PRI Show. Check back to see what craziness we find, and who we happen to see. If you have something you are wanting to see tell us!
