Wayne's new stock replacement frame?

Does anyone know if Wayne's new stock replacement allows the use of the stock inner fenders with 10" wide wheels and 275 tires?

I Talked Too Wayne Today About The New Frame And He Said That There Is No Mods To The Inner Fender Wells When Stuffing A 275 Tire Underneath It.

This one is ideal for a guy who's already got money invested in DSE or Hotchkis a-arms, etc. but would like to run big wheels/tires up front and get a steering rack at the same time. He sells that frame with new rack for about $1700. Then you'd need a-arms and coil-overs (uses the same ones that DSE uses).

I spoke with Wayne yesterday and he said that the bare frame and front steer rack will be about $2500. He said to get the rack to work he needs a bunch of expensive parts... the rack itself will be close to $1000. You can use QA1's (or anything you want). The QA1's are about $200 cheaper than the DSE Koni's. It also includes a Speedway Engineering swaybar because he says that this swaybar is the only way to clear the front steer rack.

Jody, will Waynes other sub frame that uses the stock stuff wotk with GW upper and lower control arms as well as their coilover kit? I have a GW coil overs (QA-1) and their upper and lower comntrol arms with Baer brakes. I also have a Unisteer that probably wont work though?
Thanks,
Mike

I talked to Wayne today, the new subframe is getting very close to being ready to go market. He's hammering out the fine details (like sourcing some of the suspension parts, etc). We should know a lot more soon... but we also have the Christmas and New Year's to contend with in the next few weeks.

I think Wayne has a REAL winner on his hands. Combining his excellent craftsmanship with the fact that the new frame will except existing brake and wheel packages that most of us are already using, he will sell a lot of them. :thumbsup:
