[Shotimes] Subframe Recall total BS

[DAVE]

Well in keeping my SHO on the Johnny Cash theroy (one piece at a time) I dropped the subframe last night getting on the freeway on ramp. Made a little run to the 24 hour Ford dealer 120Miles round trip to pick up a recall kit and get it back together.Had the wife order a set of ALSFB's from Bryan King while I was gone. I pulled the carpet and absober up to mark and drill my 2 1/2 inch holes and I'll be damned if the recall had not already been done. Easy for me that was sure. Well the dealer did one hole then I guess ran ouf of hole saw and just cut a flap in the otherside.
While talking to my local Ford dealer who was horrified that the sub had dropped he did a VIN look up and told me the dealer that did the work.(remind me to firebomb them) then proceeded to tell me that Ford Recalls are based on age. So 89-92 no longer get the free labor after you buy the parts. But they will do it for 100.00. 
Now a few side notes. Russ Milne Ford in Clinton Township MI has the police subframe bushings in stock at 24 for the bottom and 15 for the top. And Expressway Ford in Clio is SHO friendly but still hates them.
And the parts guy at Russ Milne told me the price of V8 was 12K to purchase plus the labor. as to prohibit owners from having the engines replaced when "the timing gears walk off the shaft" his words not mine.
And if anyone on the V8 list is reading this I was headed down M-59 west last night about 9.40 and was next to a beautiful red GEN III Dark Tinted windows and a FORD decal on the rear window. Nice car.
