If you really need to know something, call him instead. Phone calls are always top on the priority list.

Yeah I'd call if I were you. I don't think they answer their emails. I tried emailing a couple of times with no response and just ended up calling them.

He responded to me yesterday. Just be patient. Also, I am pretty sure it is the same as the new C5 frame he has listed on the site. Not sure of the price difference with the aftermarket parts. You may have to put those on yourself. I think he has the bare frame price online also.

The link shows great pics of it from a Lateral G post.

Yeah I saw that post which is why I want to know more. I heard it was coming, and it peaked my interest. I know he's busy but I'll wait till he emails me back, which he usually does, just thought some "insiders" might know more in the mean time...

The subframe is a direct replacement for the stock one. You do have to go to coilovers and a rack and pinion. It is for the guys who have already spent the bucks on aftermarket parts for their stock sub and want a cleaner one that will allow wider front wheels without starting over.

How much $$$$$?

[67SSDan]

I'm interested to know how much too. I don't see that one on the site yet... unless I got caught up in all the other cool stuff.

[MuscleRodz]

You will have to talk to Wayne directly for a price.

Yes, please be patient. Wayne is right in the middle of a shop move and he's up to his elbows in builds as well as getting clips out.

He's going to be building one of these OEM clips that will be used for the product photo shoot for his site, as well as, assembly and install write up. Now if I can just find a publication intersted in my write up.

Wayne is still working on the cost details and I'll be working with him to get it on his website as soon as possible.

All I can say is stay tuned...it is coming!!!!!!!!

[zbugger]

I'm gonna send you a PM.

[rob07002]

Wayne did get back to me and he is very busy right now. As far as I know pricing isn't set yet, but will be soon. I guess we all need to be alittle patient.

Over on the Lateral-G forum someone said it was going to be priced similar as the C4 and C5 bare frames. Seems a little pricey to me but have to wait and see for sure.

[trapin]

That was me, he e-mailed me at work yesterday. He said it'll be around the same pricing as the C5 bare frame. Yeah...it does seem a little pricey. I'm going to pass. So far only the rack is available. In regards to the steering box, he said the problem is that he moved in the frame rail to accomodate bigger wheels and also to eliminate the shaft housing for the coil-overs. In order to accomodate the box he'd have to move the frame rail back outside which would then impede on the coil-overs. He asked for a suggestion and the only one I could give him was to move the frame rail in even further and then switch the box over to the other side of the frame rail using a European style right hand drive box and center drag link. Actually....the center drag link would have to be a custom piece. But now you're talking big money.

I'll stick with my stock frame.

[novanutcase]

yeah...Wayne just got back to me and told me that he is super busy with the move and all. He also said that up until now the custom frame builds he had been doing haven't yieldedhim much in the way of benjamins so he is going to concentrate on building Camaro front clips, which yield hiom more money! I hope he decides to go ahead with my project('66 or '67 Nova.....are you listening PHR?) because,in my opinion, he is the best, in terms of building chassis. Him and Art Morrison.

[novanutcase]

and front clips too......

[cpederslie]

...because,in my opinion, he is the best, in terms of building chassis. Him and Art Morrison.

Totaly agree! That's why I've got his C4 clip for my wifes Nova and my 68 Camaro will definitely get the Wayne Due treatment all the way around.

Suprising that there is a significant amount of gear heads wanting to scrap their DSE modified stock frames.

If you are still looking for a new frame: 3,300 for the frame ( wonder if that includes the AGR rack and sway bar?) plus 3,200 for the DSE level 3, plus spindles........Ouch.


I am suprised there isn't some sort of legal issue over making something that uses another company's proprietary product?

I have been wondering the same thing. Why spend money on a replacement of something that works just fine. I can understand the weight argument, but what about rigidity.
