i dont think anyone is allowed to put a car in the show. or am i wrong?

Many (maybe even most) cars at SEMA are owned by private individuals. They do not always have to be heavily modified, just done right.

Maybe I can help: get your car built by one of the shops that goes to SEMA or has a well established name. It could be that the shop you're contracted to "build" your car has been asked to provide a car using their parts, they donate the parts they want you to use, your car is finished and wala...you're headed to SEMA. This is a very simplified version, but I think you'll get the point.

I don't think you can just enter any weekend project into the show. It would have to be almost completely built by a shop that has an invitation to the show. My stepdad used to do interior work for Prodigy Customs in Orlando and they entered a 67 Camaro at SEMA a year or two ago. Now it was actually Prodigy's owner's son's car, but it still could have been any customer's car as long as the work was exemplary.
