Dse Core Support Closeout? Looks Familiar!!

[toofun]

Correct me if I am wrong but didnt someone on this board fabricate one of these recently? Last time I heard the template was drifting around between members. Wonder if it drifted into the hands of one of the boys at DSE?? I am sure it is not exactly the same but it is the same idea anyways. One question concerning this setup. If you have the battery in the stock location it makes for a difficult time getting to it.

There's a thread on camaros.net.

I made one, a bit simpler than DSE's, that works well. I was primarily interested in air flow.

Hey Rick thanks for the fast reply. Do you happen to have the link handy? Also do you have pics of the one you made? Curious as to how it looks.

Thanks
Mark

I would like to see some pics and a link as well.

I saw that. I know it's not any of my business but if I can offer some "constructive" criticism here, I really think the time, resources, and money that went into the tooling for that thing would have been better spent on developing a suspension component for another make or model like a Mustang or a Chrysler. Kyle and Stacy make some great parts for 1st gen Camaros and granted it's their company and they can run it any way they want. But I think at this point they've pretty much got the 1st gen Camaro tapped out and should be concentrating their resources towards expanding their portfolio to include other makes and models. I think there's more of a market for control arms for a Mustang than there is for a $400 cosmetic peice. But hey, God love em...that's just my $.02

Remember.. the hard part was already done since it was designed for the Aluminator.. It was just a matter of giving the dimensions to a fab shop and getting some churned out. I imagine that they got many requests for this product and saw a market. Also, I know it's mostly cosmetic, but I imagine it has some performance benefit since it forces more air through the radiator since it seals up that area.

Besides, you can buy mustang a-arms from other souces (total control, global west, etc) nobody else sells this part.

I am thinking of spending the $$$ and getting one for penny, really cleans up the bay.

And there you have my .01 (canadian, so it's worth even less.. lol)

Does anyone have a picture of the support in question?

Somebody post the camaros.net link

I love to read crap like this. What's the deal? Someone else figures they invented underhood tin?

[TonyHuntimer]

Nevermind. I see it on DSE's website.

That's not a core support. That's a shroud. I thought DSE was making replacement core supports...like a tubular version or something.

Oh...well, I guess that makes sense. I didn't know about the Aluminator.

I know Kyle and Stacey aren't letting any grass grow under their feet. If you think 1st generation camaros are tapped out as far as aftermarket development, think again... watch DSE for future products!!!!!!!!!

Steve it's just like the gas pedal "hold it to the floor" and nine came up!!!!!!!!!!!

[Steve Chryssos]

Thanks. I'll give it a try.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!

Woohoo! Yeah, buddy. Okay I've got the hang of it

[Charley Lillard]

I guessing they spent all the time and effort making it for Stuarts old car so it was easy to produce after that.

[MrQuick]

no, its just some are upset others make money on stuff they could have...everyone wants to be the one who invented the internet.
That sort of stuff has been around for years...its about time someone mass produces it. Now for fabricated inner wheel wells that doesn't look like a Nazi war helmet..
