Since this is my first post, let me introduce myself. I've owned a 68 Mustang since around 82 when I bought it as my first car and daily driver. Once I got outta school and bought new cars, it's been sitting in the garage for a number of years and I have decided to bring it back to life. Unlike most early Mustang owners I know, I never went thru the 'I wish I had never sold her' stage. I just stopped driving her. Next year it's gonna be time to bring her back to life.
In November 2009 I was one of those chosen to go to SEMA as a regular consumer and tweet my observations of some new products and speak to some reps at various booths. That was the assignment for the first day and the other two days we got to be on our own.
Because SEMA takes up the ENTIRE Vegas Convention Center, it is next to impossible to cover all the booths in 3 days much less 2. Soooo in order to look at ALL the booths (since I may never get this chance again), I went up and down EACH aisle and wrote down the booth number of those companies with interesting stuff to check out on there website later. I actually managed to see ALL the booths and even speak to some knowledgeable reps.
So why tell the Mustang nation about this so late? First in SoCal late in 2009, early 2010 there were some Act of God rains resulting in flooding in part of my house. Taking care of that took the better part of 3 months between cleaning up, landscaping the area for better drainage and having the backyard fixed up since it was gonna take some major excavation anyway. After that there was some procrastination plus my notes were lost because so much stuff was moved (quickly) secondary to the flooding.
But NOW I have found my notes, tied the booth numbers to companies, and tied the companies to their websites. So each day (roughly) I'll share some of the companies that had products of interest to us Mustang folk and you can check out the sites for yourselves. At least since I'm SO late in sharing this, their new products should be on their sites by now.
