I had a good time working the booth and answering everyone's questions regarding our Sinister Boss. Took a few breaks to go walk the show. We saw a lot of returned rides, and a small amount of new attendees. Here's a few pictures of our booth at the show.<br /><br /><a href="http://s1368.photobucket.com/user/SinisterMFG/media/autorama-boss-1_zpsuhrgfrmm.jpg.html" target="_blank"> <img src="http://i1368.photobucket.com/albums/ag174/SinisterMFG/autorama-boss-1_zpsuhrgfrmm.jpg" alt=" - " /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s1368.photobucket.com/user/SinisterMFG/media/autorama-boss-2_zpsusgzhafn.jpg.html" target="_blank"> <img src="http://i1368.photobucket.com/albums/ag174/SinisterMFG/autorama-boss-2_zpsusgzhafn.jpg" alt=" - " /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s1368.photobucket.com/user/SinisterMFG/media/autorama-collage-2015_zps8dd2wsob.jpg.html" target="_blank"> <img src="http://i1368.photobucket.com/albums/ag174/SinisterMFG/autorama-collage-2015_zps8dd2wsob.jpg" alt=" - " /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s1368.photobucket.com/user/SinisterMFG/media/michael-cj-autorama-2015_zpsk2wtjvtt.jpg.html" target="_blank"> <img src="http://i1368.photobucket.com/albums/ag174/SinisterMFG/michael-cj-autorama-2015_zpsk2wtjvtt.jpg" alt=" - " /></a><br /> <br /> <small>[ 2015-02-17, 04:29 PM: Message edited by: Sinister Mustang ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>i</b> <br /><small>Member # 12534</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2015,1,17,16,32,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Where is this show is going to be held at? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Sinister Mustang</b> <br /><small>Member # 13889</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2015,1,17,16,36,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by i:<br /><strong> Where is this show is going to be held at? </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">It was this last weekend. 14th - 16th. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>9cobrasvt8</b> <br /><small>Member # 11078</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2015,1,17,18,5,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Ya my girl and i went, she bought the black sweater lol, talk to the guy on the left <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Sinister Mustang</b> <br /><small>Member # 13889</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2015,1,18,7,35,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by 9cobrasvt8:<br /><strong> Ya my girl and i went, she bought the black sweater lol, talk to the guy on the left </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Awesome!

Not strictly because it was a Mustang, but because of the vinyl wrap / color. We've put a lot of time into this Boss since we decided to pull the trigger on a full race car conversion. About 4 weeks ago, it was completely stock. So its definitely a fresh build and still more needs to be done.<br /><br />I wasn't too impressed with attendance either. I believe the most people in my booth at any given time was 10-15 and anytime after 6:00 was practically dead. This was our 2nd year of having a booth there, and while its not my decision to continue to do it, I don't believe we will anymore after this year.<br /><br />It was tough trying to navigate the show this year. As a vendor we were given a map, but I gave out a few tickets to family members and they completely missed 2 buildings because of how spread out the event was.<br /><br />I didn't even know the club pavilion had cars in it. I thought there was only the outdoor show, A-D buildings and the award tent. The only time i had to walk the show was late at night when it was almost closing time.<br /><br />The amount of square footage for the actual show needs to be much smaller. Having everything spread out among the buildings is way too much. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>89_Fakesnake</b> <br /><small>Member # 1253</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2015,1,18,14,5,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I bet it did - I know as soon as I walked through the doors and saw the color it got my attention! Good lord...4 weeks!!! It came out great IMO!!! I agree - the show can be GREATLY condensed into a smaller area. To be honest, I enjoy driving events a million times more than car shows but since this was a club event I thought what the hell. My truck had no business being parked next to half of the cars there, but I am just getting started so I figured I'd show whats been done so far. Mine is the red '72 and my dad's is the '40. Both are far from stock lol<br /><br /> [IMG]<a href="http://s44.photobucket.com/user/ja89302/media/F100/PhotoGrid_1424291345792.jpg.html" target="_blank"> <img src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f31/ja89302/F100/PhotoGrid_1424291345792.jpg" alt=" - " /></a>[/IMG]<br /> <br /> <small>[ 2015-02-18, 02:07 PM: Message edited by: 89_Fakesnake ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Sinister Mustang</b> <br /><small>Member # 13889</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2015,1,18,14,15,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I saw both of those rigs there.
