Going Down to Lupe's in a week or two...waiting to replace my Borla Stingers with Magnapacks.
Lowered stang + Borla Stingers = worn spot on my axle tube...paid too much $ to have that happen, so Lupe said he would repair and refinish my axle tube while switching cat. backs....what a dude!

I just welded in a Griggs Racing
in car frame kit and roll bar my
self in my garage. It's a good
thing I had to repair all those
cracked crown Victoria cop car
frames for Ford a while back!

It is a VERY labor intensive job because you have to remove the interior. BUT it is by far the BEST subframe system you can get for a Mustang. Nothing.. I mean NOTHING compares to the chassis stiffening you will experience with the Griggs in the floor. It will make the best full-lengths you have ever seen look like a wet noodle. The parts are not expensive... about $300 but there is alot of labor. Verts are much easier to install them in than coupes. We've done about 5 of them the last year and NO ONE has ever complained about them. In fact, I drove a customers vert down to Buttonwillow and it was amazing how much quiter the car got with the Griggs subframes.

It takes about 8 hours to do the install. And they weigh about 50% more BUT the benefits FAR OUT WEIGH the weight gain.

I had to remove the entire interior, cut out a section of the floor pan, remove some of the tar sound deadener and perform extensive welding and on top of that, I had to take apart the power drivers seat track and modify it by cutting, relocating and welding it back together so it would clear the upper sub frame. At the same time, I figured it would be a good idea to weld in a roll bar since all the interior was out.
This is great to know. I live about 2 miles from his shop if it's the one I'm thinking of. There's a lot of us Cobra owners in the Bay Area I didn't know about.

Lupe doesn't do rear ends...I had mine built by adolfo...a machinist at: Bayshore Truck Equipment Co. in South San Francisco.
They work on bus, dumptruck, and firetruck trannies and rear ends all day, and have a full machine shop and driveshaft fabrication unit on site.
Few people know that they actually have a lift on site.
Adolfo has done many Ford 8.8" rears, and is excellent. Never had one come back for issues. I had my rear end torn down and rebuilt...excellent work and he really took his time to get the backlash and pinion preset right...
If you are interested, talk to Ted Whitehead and tell him that Matt with the silver mustang told ya about them...he'll hook it up.
I can't say enough about these guys...
Phone number: 650-871-9193
or www.bayshoretruck.com
A local SF Ford dealership actually uses them for special cases...
