I think project creep comes to mind.

Good question Greg and Rick is partially right. On the original install, we used a dowel pin/subfr alignment tool along w the GM factory manual (actual Fischer frame straightening dimesnions manuals, not just the eBay repros). We got it to 1/8" tolerance.

At Cris' shop, in an effort to lower the car we modded the trans tunnel and installed Cris' 1/2 height subfr bushings which actually have tighter tolerances to the subframe holes.

When Brett and I decided to get it to 1/16, the bushings didn't allow Brett to jog the sub over to get us there so he had to do a little clearancing.

So yes, scope creep played a part for sure...

Ron- Good to see that you got Brett to square the car for you…

As I mentioned to you before you picked up the car.. I have done two A/M subs & had issues getting them to square up per Fisher manual instructions with the pins… I have always used these bushings on stock subs & my DSE installs with no alignment problems.. As I showed you examples when you paid us a visit to discuss subject that was a issue.. The modification you did to them works but would like to see a pic of what the alignment looks like on the body to sub per Fisher manual instructions… No matter what.. the goal is to everything square & 1/16 to hold for tolerance is acceptable in book.. That is all we work towards here @ the shop

On the original install that they did for you… you used the Fisher manual instructions per attached sheet with pins in position like the pic attached..

After all this work on this and that, and floaters, and wheels, and R compound tires, and dry sumps, and Brett touching your car, all I have to say is that you better be damn fast
