One of the most anticipated events of the annual SEMA show is the Battle of the Builders.
Despite being all-virtual this year, the competition is fierce—bringing in dozens of top custom cars, trucks and hot rods together online.
There are four categories, now with three finalists each: Hot Rod, Sport Compact, Truck/Off-Road, and Young Guns. Finalists are judged by a panel of industry experts, with the ultimate winners announced later this week.
