Sorry to take so long in my reply...been swamped.

We don't ever weld bodies to frames. Not that there is anything wrong with that at all, but it's just not how do it with any uni-body cars we build.

Here's a pic of the body mount spacer on a different Mustang.

The washers are there for setup, then we make a nice set of poly bushings. The mount there is on the x-member, but we have them all over the chassis.

Of course Chip F reads THIS forum...

Of course Chip F posts complements here...

Of course Chip F returns my phone calls...

Of course The Santa Clause...

I'm with Tyler 'the spindle man' all the way, Chip F was not here and did not post here, or even know our little forum existed.

What is with this one post wonders posting in this thread? "Troy T" talking about Troy Trepanier's Fast Forward Mustang? Does anyone else get the feeling these clowns are trying to overhype themselves by pretending to have big builders posting about the quality of this car?
Good god, we aren't buying it. The talent pool of Lateral-G would be humbled by Trepanier, Foose, and the like. Stop pretending you are on or above their level.

Tyler

Foose and Trepanier! This is comedy! :lol:

Not sure if this is directed towards me, but if it is, please note that I've made no mention of the lame Troy or Chip posts. No need to call me names though, I'm simply posting up some build pics. I'll keep the rest to myself I guess.

No, not at all- I was not directing my comments at you or your shop. I can see how my wording came off that way and for that I'm sorry. I am totally directing this at the one post wonders using high end builder's first names and last initial, while talking about the builders own work. Seems childish to even bother registering to attempt to pass themselves off as someone they clearly aren't.

Back to the thread at hand....

Tyler

:thumbsup:

Now back to our regularly scheduled program..:lateral:

Troy has seen this site,I have showed it to him when I was working on the Nova.The guys in the shop look at it also.You would be surprised at who watch's from the sidelines.

hahahah...this is hilarious! Such BS! Funny funny!

Seriously is the thread jack over?

Sorry,just had to put my thought's in.Anyway nice build I check for updates every week,Keep them coming.:thumbsup:

THREAD JACK FOO!!!! GIMMI YO THREAD OR ILL DUST YO A** G!!!!!
:lol:

Little bit of an update.

With the hiatus over, we are back to schedule on this project;although this one will unveil at SEMA rather than GG Columbus. We opted to take the other Mustang project to compete and leave this one for next year.

A lot of the big work is done and here is just a few quick snapshots of the roof being chopped.

The windshield was laid back 3/4" and the rear sction was chopped 3/4". Very subtle, but it looks great. As soon as it is in a better location I'll take a few profile shots.

Thanks for the update.

You lads are quite crafty! :cool:

Roll cage is in as of this week.

We opted to do a bolt in (sort of) so the body could be removed for final finish on the chassis. There are plates welded to the frame, and to the body that will bolt together.

The door bars are not in and complete yet, but the rest is.

Jeph,

GOOD WORK GUYS!:wow: :thumbsup:

Was it at Columbus?

The 65 mustang you are asking about will be at columbus next year the
customer wants to do alot more mods on the car and he is doing some
changes on the engine.We will have some updated pictures
of this car in a few weeks.

For columbus this year we do have the other 65 mustang we were building
that has been shown on this site the car did not make the top 5 for street
machine and this car was being built for our client who wanted to have a car
he could drive around in and have fun in.This client has a other car we have
been building for last two years that will be competing for the ridler award in
feb 2010 in detroit.

There were alot of nice cars here in columbus and the roadster shops vette
was very sharp and all of the rest of the cars that were in the running were
nice as well.

For anybody who is in columbus this week stop by our booth and say hello
we are behind Mothers polishing and if you have a chance stop by mothers
and you can see our 32 roadster we built that won americas most beutiful
roadster and I know it is not a street machine but you can see a sample of
some of are other work.
Thankyou,
Justin
