Just got mine, I read through most of the previous GB from the old forums but most of the pics are no longer available. Can you post install instructions?

last year i picked up a set of Shmo Shop subframe connectors. of course, it was a PITA to actually get them, but i did. they were $150 + shipping + PITA. we dont know how much ours would cost yet but it wont be more than these were. we'll need to find out how much the steel will cost, and how much our welder will charge. of course, the more that we make, the less the cost will be. since you can't even get these anywhere anymore, besides making your own, i figured id at least offer to these to you guys, if there is enough interest.
these subframe connectors will stiffen up your chassis during cornering. not only that but they will help eliminate squeaks in your car. AND yet another huge benefit is that you can simply slap a jack under any part of the connector and jack your car up! let me put it this way, when i jack up the car behind the front wheel, the rear wheel jacks up with it.
these are tried and true yet apparantly only a few people have them.i paid only $60 to have them installed (welded) which any decent exhaust shop with a drive-on lift should be able to handle it.
remember, this is only an interest check at this point. production would likely start after the new year. and please, lets not turn this into a Shmo Shop debate
here are mine. i painted them blue. and NO commenting on my poopy welds

hey guys,
here's a slight "update"..
we had a HUGE ford show this past weekend and spent all last week and the weekend preparing the cars for it. john was going to work on these but we had a major emergency this weekend when one of the wheels fell of my friend's truck and disaster ensued (not THAT bad, thank GOD!). we then flew up north to pick up john's new corvette :drool: (paid for by YOUR sfc monies, lol).
he did finish up about two more sets though and still needs to weld on the end caps of those that need them. the truck disaster really screwed things up for us this past weekend. im just getting back into things since we got back home late last night.
ill try to get through the payments and update the list to date today, but some time this week for sure. he has friday off so some will probably go out then.
while ive been aftk, some of you have tried to unsuccessfully PM me. just email me at svt4stv@gmail.com i can reply from my cell phone that way and no worries of being filled up.

there will be a few sets left over, so yeah, you can still get in. even then we can pick up a few bars of steel afterwards if someone still wants in.
just follow the directions at the beginning of the thread and you will be magically enjoined into our lil GB

i know my pm box is full. it always is. that's why i told people to email me. i do answer emails. you asked for an update, ive updated the thread. ill be updating it some more. if you have a specific question then email me but i dont have time to go through the list and give each person an individual update.
I'm not trying to start a pissing match or anything, I can tell you make good products and are legit from what I see through the other users. Its just that you said in the post below that mine was to ship on the 11th and its now the 29th and I haven't even received a tracking number. Thats what i meant by an update.
