[V8] Subframe bushes

[too many quattros]

hehe, actually, i am moving faster then i have ever moved on any car int he
past!  my last major project has been going on for 10 years now!  I am
ALMOST DONE!  the v8 i started about a year ago.  i hope to finish it this
summer.  i have a job that takes me around the world so it is hard to keep
up on my desires when i am never home.

as for the bushings, i don't think it will be worth while until i get at
least 5 people.  so far, i have 2.

if i get 5 or more, i will pull the bushings and get a quote on making
copies.  for the record, i am not interested in making $$ on the deal, just
enough to cover my efforts of going to the PO to mail.
