SEMA 2010

By Mike Rey, MOCSEM President

What an amazing experience to say the least. Anyone who is anyone was in

attendance it seemed like. To say Ford and Mustangs ruled the show is an

understatement; you could not turn your head without seeing a Mustang of some

sort. So for people like myself, it was very cool. Now if you are a huge GM or Mopar

guy, maybe not.

We had the chance to meet with a lot of Ford people, Barrett-Jackson guys, Courtney

Hansen, a lot of our sponsors, such as Pypes Exhaust, and a couple of others. To see

how one of our title sponsors, Classic Design Concepts, was represented was

amazing. I met up with George, Michelle, Patrick and the rest of the guys for a bit.

They had cars everywhere: inside, outside, in displays, videos being shot, etc.

Firebreathers were everywhere, and they had a beautiful Mustang RTR there. And of

course Vaughn Gittin, Jr.’s cars were in attendance and doing live drifts outside! We

met with a lot of hopefully potential sponsors for us, and laid a little groundwork for a

few to come on board this upcoming year, and got a lot of hopeful contacts to follow

up with.

About the Club

The Mustang Owners Club of Southeastern Michigan (MOCSEM) was founded in November 1975 by a group of individuals with

the desire to protect and preserve the Ford Mustang as one of the most attractive and fun filled cars ever made available. We

are enthusiasts of all ages with a love affair of the many generations of America’s Premiere Pony Car. Whether it’s a coupe,

convertible or fastback from 1964½ to the 2005 GT or the 2007 Cobra, we love them all. The mission of club members is to

collect, restore and preserve the history of the Mustang along with the stories of the people and the roles that they played in

making this one of the great cars of the 20th Century. Although ownership is not a requirement for membership, your

enthusiasm, expertise and and/or love of the automobile are most welcome.

Many of our club members own one or more Mustangs in varying body styles, models and years. Club members are always

exchanging information, providing sources for parts, literature and helpful hints for restoring or maintaining their Mustangs. Our

members are a diverse group of individuals, located throughout Southeastern Michigan and all share a great appreciation for the

Ford Mustang. Our general membership meetings are held on the 2nd Tuesday of each month. Our monthly newsletter,

The Accelerator, provides the members with reports on club activities, technical information, advertisements and business

service locations and more. Some club activities include car shows, picnics, sporting events, cruise nights and technical

sessions.

Well it’s December and I hope everyone had a wonderful

Thanksgiving. Now let the snow begin! But then again, I would

rather it be sunny and 70. But enough about me. I would just

like to start off by thanking the members for having the faith

in me as your Social Director for yet another year. I had a

blast this year and hope to have a even better 2011.

I’m thinking ahead and looking into events in January and the

Social Committee and I are setting up a comedy night also

known as “Grub and Grins.” The event is tentatively

scheduled for Saturday, January 22nd at Joey’s in Livonia. I’ll

announce details just as soon as they are finalized.

So on to February. We are planning again this year to have a

club Valentine party at Tim & Sally’s Awesome Eats in Canton.

The price for this event is $10.00 per person which includes

a buffet dinner, soft drinks and tea. The date for this event is

February 12th from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm. If you would like to

attend this event you can sign up at www.mocsem.com or at

the December and January General Meetings. Payment is

needed by the February 8th General Meeting.

If you have any questions about these or other events please

feel free to contact me. Have a great holiday!

SEMA 2010

…continued from Page 1

I ran across Chip Foose as usual. If some of you don't know

this, Chip is my all time Idol. The guy is simply a genius. But

some of the best time spent there was with Dr. Spiegel and

his wife, and Mark & Pat from the Dream Giveaway

Sweepstakes. We got to see firsthand the 1969 Boss 302

that is part of the sweepstakes this coming year along with a

2012 Boss still being built and should be completed

sometime in February 2011. Please remember these cars will

be presented to the winner at Mustang Memories 2011 at

the Ford World Headquarters on August 7th, 2011. This year

the cars are TAX FREE to the winner, so please go to our web

site and buy as many tickets as your wallet can afford and

support these amazing people. The Healing Heroes Network

is an amazing network to help out wounded soldiers fighting

for our beloved country.

I am including some photos from SEMA for your viewing

pleasure. We also got a chance to take the tour at Shelby

while in Las Vegas. Simply amazing!

I would also like to let you know that I am already deep into

planning for Mustang Memories 2011, I have a couple of very

big things on the table that I am working on. Nothing is set in

stone yet, but not for my lack of effort. The annual Swap Meet

is also just around the corner. It is scheduled for Saturday

March 26, 2011 at Village Ford in Dearborn. See everyone

soon.

MOCSEM Wins MCA President’s Award

By Craig Zygmunt, MOCSEM Editor

MOCSEM is proud to be one of this year’s recipients of the

Mustang Club of America’s President’s Award. The

President’s Award is presented to MCA regional clubs that

demonstrate “outstanding achievement and devotion to the

Mustang hobby and service to the community…” There are

approximately 190 MCA regional clubs, 22 of which received

this award.

Eligibility for the award is based on points which can be

earned in several categories, including new members,

hosting car shows, publishing a newsletter and donations to

charities. 100 points are required to be eligible for the award

and MOCSEM scored 380. We are very proud of the

contribution we make as a club to the Mustang hobby and

the relationship we have with the national MCA and are

looking to strengthen both even more in the coming year.

Mustang Memories Featured in

Auto Trader Classics Mustang & Ford

By Craig Zygmunt, MOCSEM Editor

MOCSEM got some great press about its Mustang Memories

show in Auto Trader Classics Mustang & Ford magazine. The

article features a great description of the club, the show and

features information about Joe and Lilly Errante's 1965

Mustang. It's a great article and definitely worth a read. Many

thanks to MOCSEM member Mark Storm for getting this to

us. You can read the article online at www.mocsem.com.

We'll also have copies of the magazine available at the

December General Meeting.

MOCSEM Club Display at Detroit AutoRama

By Craig Zygmunt, MOCSEM Editor

MOCSEM is planning to apply for a club display at the 2011

Detroit AutoRama February 25 – 27 at Cobo Center. The 4

MOCSEM members who participated last year made a great

showing by taking two 3rd place and one 1st place class

awards.

If you are interested in

participating, you will need to

submit your entry form to Mike

Rey. You must include photos

and a $50 check for the

sanction fee (payable to Detroit

Autorama) with your entry. You

can obtain an entry form by

visiting www.autorama.com or

www.mocsem.com. The entry

form describes what photos are

necessary.

All club entries will be submitted together. The Autorama

show chairman will choose the vehicles that will participate.

MOCSEM has no say in who is chosen. If you are not

selected, your entry form with your check will be returned to

you.

Bring Your Toys to the

December General Meeting

By Craig Zygmunt, MOCSEM Editor

No, I don't mean your Mustangs. Bring some toys for Toys for

Tots! That's right, the favorite charity for kids of all ages will

be at the MOCSEM General Meeting on Tuesday,

December 14th to collect toys for children in need. Bring a

new, unwrapped toy and help a child enjoy Christmas a little

more this year. MOCSEM will also present monetary

donations to representatives from numerous Southeastern

Michigan charities at the meeting. The success of Mustang

Memories has allowed us to be generous when so many

people are in need.

Thumper

By Ron Mason, MOCSEM Member

I'm Ron Mason and here is the story of my sixth Mustang, Thumper:

I named the car "Thumper" to honor my dad and a car he had back in

the Sixties. I took delivery of this car on January 31, 2008. I ordered

it built for me to replace my 2006 Mustang Pony. Thumper got off to

a very scary start. You see, when I ordered it my dealer told me I

would have it in six weeks. Two days later Ford released the Mustang

Bullet and well, my car got put back a bit. Not that it’s that long a wait

but she came in misbuilt too. Even with all of that I enjoy the car so

much.

The day I picked the car up, I took the grill off to put the new Pony

emblem on it and my wife, like usual, thought I was crazy. It snowed

four inches that night I wasn't able to drive it for a while so every mod

I had to have done got put on before it had 10 miles on it. Some of

my mods include Navy blue stripes, 20" Foose wheels, Flowmaster

mufflers, Hurst shifter, and Shaftmasters one-piece driveshaft. There

is so much enjoyment with this car the cruises, cruise-ins and even

hitting the drag strip but it has almost by accident turned into a show

car. I was lucky enough to be accepted to this year’s Autorama and

took 3rd in my class.

One of the best things about owning my car is the fact I get to remain

a member of MOCSEM, to me is the people in the club, the board we

have and the work everyone does to make our Mustang club not only

a car club but a family environment. I'm very thankful for that.

There are things that will need to be fixed: Coil packs need to

be replaced, the transmission has always been a bit touchy

with occasional slight grind when shifting from 2nd to

3rd..most likely the synchros, the body kit pieces need to be

repainted, side skirts and wheel wells show wear, and the

front fascia has paint flaking from a terrible prep job. The

headers are a tad rusty and will need to be replaced. All in all,

this car still drives very well and has been a blast to drive. I

had been meaning to fix everything myself, however with a

less than ideal job and school I can no longer keep this guy.

New on car includes tires, which were purchased in January

with great tread still, new battery, oil and fluids changed at

58k along with spark plugs (Royal Purple 5w-30, synchromax

this in December. Price is $7000 OBO, Will make special deal
