It's a good thing I'm not a moderator, you would be bye-bye for that one.

 

But what if his motive really is genuine and he is just seeking advice? I don't think it's fair to criticize someone's idea in hurtful ways. I give him credit for trying to do something new. Although you may not like it or agree with it, it's not right to be mean about it. Geeze, It's so close to Christmas, let's all try to be nice. No grinches allowed!

 

How did I miss this? It's up to 4 pages. Let's keep it going. I want to get to the bottom of this feud.

 

A feud is a long-running argument or fight between parties—often, through association fallacy, groups of people, especially families or clans. Feuds begin because one party (correctly or incorrectly) perceives itself to have been attacked, insulted or wronged by another. Intense feelings of resentment trigger the initial retribution, which causes the other party to feel equally aggrieved and vengeful. The dispute is subsequently fuelled by a long-running cycle of retaliatory violence. This continual cycle of provocation and retaliation makes it extremely difficult to end the feud peacefully. Feuds frequently involve the original parties' family members and/or associates, can last for generations and may result in extreme acts of violence.

I know I'm not helping matters!

 

Hey, look he does have some good advise and it only took 5 years to get it!!! I agree, ban him!

 

i second this motion.

 

Hey tcrote5516, your cars looking good. Last time first & last time I saw it was at the Mustangs Unlimited show when it was still in black primer. Came out real nice.

 

Hey, I'm not sure if your local library would have them, but Steve Smith authored a series of books about building different types of race cars. Part of those books is rollcage and suspension design. These are designs based on street cars, although most are centered on GM because that is what many race cars are based on. But the books focused on late model chassis go into depth on strut front ends, very similar to the mustang. It will explain aframe angles, roll steer, caster, camber, camber curves, anti squat, moment centers, ackerman angles, etc... Pretty much everything you'll need to know about designing a safe frame/rollcage front end, and the different parameters for designing a front end.

If your local library doesn't have them you can get them from speedway motors or lane automotive. Get them and read them. Understand them, and then start drawing different designs out. You may find a kit you like, or you may be able to come up with something on your own, but make sure you understand all the geometry aspects of the front end first. If you don't the car won't drive for s***, and won't be safe.

And don't pay attention to the butt-heads who are caught up in a pissing match in the middle of your post. Now they can be mad at me too. :-)

 

get over yourself. this is a mustang forum. he asked for help we pointed out how he could better the design from a safety stand point.

the more recent posts i read of yours the more it makes you seem like a short bitter old man who just lost his job & wife and has nothing better to do then play a big e-thug on the internet to try and build his ego

 

Thanks! Yea, I'm not afraid to drive to a show in primer with no glass
