Hey guys---hell of a week---my wife's mom had a mild heart attack last week and has been in and out of the ER/minor surgeries etc...I haven't been into the shop much/staying with my kids/working from home/ipads while my wife takes care of family stuff. We started welding up the bases last week and I had the guys cut up the rest of the units/material to cover everyone in the buy. This week they should finish up the other group buy/triangulation bars which puts these to the front of our project work. I should be back in next week and we'll start pluggin along again.sigpicwww.piercemotorsports.com www.piercemotorsport.com Like us on facebook http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/p...91292610897146

Sorry to hear about the family.
On a more positive note, they are starting to look like a subframe! Getting me all motivated to work on my cars. Keep up the great work. We appreciate it.Ian Boyd- Bellingham, WA (click vehicle to view)

Thanks for the thoughts guys---her condition is stable, but she's not able to care for herself just yet---the chances of her getting her independence back look pretty good though! In the meantime I've been catching up on the shop work and have been putting a bit of time in on these---the first unit's just happen to be the BG ones because the jig was set up for that---once I get the BG's built to this form I'll do the AWD units---then the AWD's will go first getting the diffs mounted in the original order. They look beefier than the units I did a while back although at this point they only weigh about 14lbs. They'll get tabs for brake lines/swaybar which should be just a few ounces---then the mounts for the diff which should be substantial chunks of weight---I think we'll be under 25lbs---maybe closer to 22lbsish...sigpicwww.piercemotorsports.com www.piercemotorsport.com Like us on facebook http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/p...91292610897146

Glad to hear she's stable Jim.
I have a question though. I know it was probably discussed somewhere, and I missed it. But will these subframes have the roll center correction built into them?Before you criticize someone, first try walking a mile in their shoes. Because then you'll be a mile away, and you'll have their shoes...

The progress on the subframes excites me.
