Do you have a picture of the other side? Curious of the mounting points.

A friend of mine sent me this photo, he was there but dosen't remember how it was fastened. Im sure they used the same points we use for lifting because there wouldn't be any other place strong enough to support this.

It looks very precarious to me, look how small the tubeing is and it looks like someone could just walk up and push it over?? there must have been something on the other side to stabilize it even wind would be a factor.

Check out the Ford GT gas cap. :cheers

They are just throwing the red ones away now.

Or was it Dr. Frank on a bender?

Isn't this the rolling Ford show they have assembled for exhibition purposes? Didn't they have something similar at the new Mustang release in CA? Bullitt, good answer on your part.

Indy, I don't think I'd trust any of your "neck of woods" buddies. Deliverance comes to mind.

Just what I thought too. I scrolled down muttering 'noooooooooooo, how could they......'

Have downloaded the photos. :biggrin

Thanks for the addition of those photos, i knew someone had to have some.

It looks much safer, i would like to see how that maneuver gets orchestrated.

Mabie it's on U-tube ??
