Manufacturers and Students Customize WD-40/SEMA Cares Foose F-150 at SEMA Garage
By SEMA Editors
Ten SEMA-member manufacturers and students from the Alex Xydias Center for Automotive Arts (AXC) gathered
Ten SEMA-member manufacturers and students from the Alex Xydias Center for Automotive Arts (AXC) gathered at the SEMA Garage-Industry Innovations Center in Diamond Bar, California, this week to customize the WD-40/SEMA Cares Foose Ford F-150 off-road truck, which will be raffled off at the 2013 SEMA Show to benefit three SEMA Cares charities.
The Foose-inspired truck is the first vehicle built inside the new SEMA Garage
The Foose-inspired truck is the first vehicle to be built inside the new, state-of-the-art SEMA Garage—a facility that allows SEMA-member companies to test and prototype parts, use 3D modeling and printing, and access its full-scale photo studio. Through a partnership with AXC, leading SEMA manufacturers worked alongside underprivileged teens and young adults to install parts and equipment on the truck.
The vehicle pays tribute to off-roaders, truck enthusiasts and aftermarket companies
The vehicle pays tribute to the off-roaders, truck enthusiasts and aftermarket companies that have used and trusted WD-40 Co. products over the last 60 years. Instead of being auctioned like previous WD-40/SEMA Cares vehicles, the enhanced ’13 Ford F-150 Lariat will be raffled off to one lucky winner in the spring of 2014. With raffle tickets costing just $50 starting November 1, 2013, owning a Foose-inspired truck is now more accessible than ever.
Chip Foose on the raffle
“Can you imagine winning a one-off vehicle like this for only $50?” asked Chip Foose, president and CEO of Foose Design. “Not everyone gets to make people’s dreams come true on a show like ‘Overhaulin’,’ but you can help make kids’ dreams come true by purchasing your raffle tickets and supporting a great cause.”
Proceeds will benefit three SEMA Cares charities
Proceeds from the raffled vehicle will benefit three SEMA Cares charities—the SEMA Memorial Scholarship Fund, Childhelp, and Victory Junction.
