Thanks

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.

It is a funny joke, I get it; but Foose has enough credit to actually post his entire last name. Will a mod be so kind as to check the IP of the poster ChipF and see if it came from anywhere near his current location?

I'll bet that the answer would be no..

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.

Ask the old man if he is going to be in Detroit this year, I look forward to seeing him again. :thumbsup:

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.

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....
