I got a great hands on demo of how the fuel pump and sender combo works and was designed from Dave and James. That's a really nice looking product and I had never seen one in person before hand.
I think both estucheons (LH and RH) were there along with rheostats (just mentioned in another thread).
Toby and Misty were displaying a pretty clever revision to the front strut tower brace. It sits flat and under the carpet instead of over and it is shaped to allow you to get the spare out without removing it. Oh, and it would go well with your Klingon costume if you felt so inclined.

Did MidWest's upcoming aluminium lower control arms make it? I'm dying to hear opinions and pricing...

One product I found interesting was from Toby. It was a flat front stabilizer bar. It had a curve in it so you could have it under the carpet, and it doesn't interfere with the spare. It felt very solid and nicely produced. Sorry I didn't get a pic of it but Claudia Wells was near by so i was distracted.

Dave's LCAs were there. Look pretty damn cool! I think he said 599 ea and that includes the ball joints and pivot bushings.

Yea, and Dave's steering column adapter was right near those LCAs too. This lets you install the Momo or likewise steering wheel at the right depth.

Those new LCAs are machined from a block of aluminum. I would have no concerns with installing them on my car since they are so thick on all surfaces. It's just that I just installed the SS LCAs I had bought a few years ago that stopped me from buying a set of those new ones.

$599 with euro ball joint and NNS inner bushing installed in the arm. Available separately if you want to do some finish work, the arm is $489 bare/no parts (but no warranty on messing it up during installation). We can accommodate specials, i.e. other finishes, leave out the bushing but not the ball joint etc. They are more or less made to order due to the expense.

DMCH were displaying their new tail light boards. Will be sold in pairs with or without LED bulbs. Should be available in a few months.
I remember seeing a prototype DPNW front strut bar over a year ago in Toby's shop. Very impressive and heavy duty! Even back then, they were having problems getting a shop to produce them that wouldn't then close up weeks later. It's been their biggest problem with getting new products out including their rear sway bar.
