Core Support Closeout

[smittys69]

Saw a different style of core support closeout this weekend and really like the looks of it. This isn't as bulky as the DSE support and I think I like it better. Talked to the car owner and he said he made it himself - but didn't go into anymore details. Anyone have a clue as to what it would cost to get something like this made or better yet - someone on this board making them? May not want to go into comp with DSE but sure thought it looked nice.

That is very nice. Looks to me like it is welded right to the core support then smoothed out. Like a one off.

Yeah, the more I studied the pic that is what I saw as well. Maybe it wouldn't be that hard to do after all.

Those, or one just like it, are being sold on eBay for $55 plus S&H. A member, SoCal69, of www.camaros.net is selling them, here is a link to the thread http://www.camaros.net/forums/showth...light=closeout. I ordered one and will post pics once I get it installed.

Exactly. I will probably buy one from SoCal69 since the DSE closeout is $395. Its a nice product but $55 is easier to afford for an average guy like myself.

I don't think thats the same style of closeout. It's just flat vs the one on hte yellow car has the recessed pocket for the hood latch and stuff.

[CAMAROBOY69]

Nevermind. I couldnt take it any more. I just had to buy that one from SoCal69 for $55.00. Its such a killer price and I couldnt even make it for that cheap on the laser machine.
Kevin,
No its not the same style. That one in the first post was home made and welded to the car. A one off deal.

Well....you are quite the spendthrift Adam! Your hemorraging money like Fort Knox with Ebola!!

I think I see your future filled with a cutting torch and welder. With your skills I feel confident that you will do "your own thing" when you get it!!

My thoughts exactly. I figure if I don't like it, it will get me by until I save up enough $$$ for the DSE closeout. He will even personalize the panel for a small fee.

I wouldn't say that the $55 ones on camaros.net are "just like" that first one.. about the only simularity is that they both block off that area.

The one in the first pic is a completely custom piece that is very far from a bolt on deal.

Not saying the $55 one isn't nice (it is) just that in truth it has very little in common with the one posted at the beginning of this thread.

I'll take that any day of the week over the Detroit Speed version. I just spent some decent bucks on a Ron Davis radiator. Why would I want to cover it up? I'm not saying anything bad about DSE's product; it's just not for me.

edit: Just bought one.

Uhh.. the DSE unit does not cover up the radiator..

Ain't nothing wrong with that..

[CAMAROBOY69]

My closeout from SoCal69 should be here wednesday the 29th.

That sounds too cheap. Better hurry up and place an order before the seller realizes that he ain't making any money.

Thats exactly what I thought. I dont know how he can sell them for that price. Even the shipping price was affordable.

I agree that he could get more $$ for his closeout. Based on his post over at camaros.net, http://www.camaros.net/forums/showth...light=closeout, he said,"The metal is .060 aluminum CNC machined on my mill table.". Anyone know what a sheet of .060 aluminum goes for? I can't imagine that he isn't making some decent $$ given the cost for materials.
