Wow just realized that this is close to me. And In the next week or two I will be even closer with a car hauler. :wink: I have no use for it, but willing to help out somebody if needed.

Test?

Post by svo413 »

Since this was a Ford authorized product, Ford did all the front end crash testing (front clip, bumpers, dash and steering wheel) at first design. ASC modified the frame (aka roof) and it would make sense to test rear end collision and frame strength. It would appear this was a rear end collision as the front end is mostly unaffected. It looks like the console reinforcement did its job and only slightly deformed.
