The Upholstery Forum

Hey Guys,
So every year SEMA gives out an award for up and coming people in the automotive industry under the age of 35.

I wanted to ask all of you if you think I would have a shot at being chosen for 2019.
If you do. Would any of you be willing to nominate me?

Thank you all! I respect all of your opinions here and am interested to hear what you have to say.

@John
Heck yes! It would be an honor to nominate someone like you that has given so much of your time to educate people around the globe about this industry and your passion to keep it going. I can't think of a more deserving person, consider yourself nominated as soon as I get on their website.

Thank you @Bondo497! That really means a lot to hear.

@John You get my vote. I believe your knowledge in this Industry is top notch. You show a willingness to help others no matter their skill level to help them become better trimmers. I appreciate all the time and effort you put in to this forum and making videos that actually help educate.

Thank you @Trimmerman79 I really appreciate that. You guys make it all worth it!
Ill PM with my contact info you need to for the nomination.


If any one else would be willing to nominate me, Send me a message so I can send you my contact info that youll need.

@John,

What are the plans for SEMA? We can be your support team!

@BigRig Well I'm hoping to get picked for the 35 under 35 award. Other than that I dont have any plans. I would love film building an interior for a car at SEMA but I haven't gotten that opportunity yet.

@John
What kind of car would you be wanting to do for that project?

How do you go about nominating John, I would be glad to nominate him.

I'm planning on going to SEMA for 2019. Do the votes go in before or during SEMA? Got my vote for sure.

@Paul Williams ,

I need to know too. Some of us are unfamiliar with SEMA.

Go to the link on @John 's post and fill out the form . You will need to PM John to get the specific info needed to complete the form.
The nomination is for 2019.
SEMA is a venue for all things aftermarket where manufacturers can show there products off.

@Bondo497 ,

Thanks buddy!

@Paul Williams @SmokinSCustoms @BigRig Thanks you guys are awesome! I will PM you the details you need.


@BigRig Lol for a SEMA car, Ill do whatever car the customer wants

John,
I would definitely nominate you! I have attended SEMA several times and I think you would be a shoe-in for the award. Your videos are great and your instruction technique is very easy to follow. I feel like I already know how to upholster after watching your videos and I don't have a sewing machine yet!
Let me know how to nominate you and I'll get on it.
Thanks for all the great instruction!
Jerry

Thank you @jkassis97355 Its really great to hear that the videos were so helpful!
