My NEW Wayne Due subframe arrived today
 

Here's my NEW subframe that just arrived from Wayne Due. It uses DSE control arms and their coil over assembly. It has an AGR power rack with Baer trackers and Phil Brewer billet steering arms. The sway bar is from Speedway Engineering. It uses the stock spindle.

What's slick about this setup is if you already own aftermarket tubular arms, big wheels and brakes for a 1st Gen, those parts will bolt on to this all new Wayne Due subframe. It will also allow 10" wheels to be used and the track width is stock.

Since this is new from Wayne and I expect there to be a lot of interest, I'll post a BUNCH of pics.

Very nice Scott :thumbsup: I see the community T-56 back there :P

I LOVE IT! :thumbsup: keep us updated

I see just a wee bit of Phil Brewer in that sub frame. Very Cool. PM or email me Scott on the speedway sway bar IE where to get one please. I sold my sub frame bare to a friend in anticipation of Waynes subframe hitting the market. Thanks for the cool pix.

Sweet! You just had to show me that piece after all of the hard work I put into my stock sub. :D

I see one in my future...

Those are some beautiful welds!! Looks like a killer piece there Scott. Wayne did a killer job on his part. Can't wait to see it under the car..Knowing you...It's probably already under it!! :yes:

Could 'ya take a couple more pics with different angles? :unibrow: Now you know why Don has been so psyched this week when his showed.


Jody

Yer killin' me, Jody! :rofl:

I really wish I hadn't seen that. :hail: Looks awesome!!

Ok , now I know why there was such a hold up on this car being put back
together again. :yes:

R.P.

How Much???

thats exactly what I thought! I have never seen welds that pretty. Man that guy can do some serious metal work. Scott you are the man! Now get that car back together!

I'm feelin the love. :lol:

It really is a work of art. I can't wait to get it into the car.

As for pricing, you'll need to contact Wayne Due. :thumbsup:

I remember talking to Wayne about a marketing a stock replacement setup early last year. Looks like he finally got it done and looks killer. I don't think welding can be much nicer than that.

You know if all the parts were on the car, it takes up a lot less floor space. :P j/k. Looking good Scott.

Mike

Very nice Scott. Looking forward to seeing your car on the road. :thumbsup:

damn i wish wayne would email me back, id like to have that. :hail:

Hang in there, he will. He's beyond busy, plus in the middle of a move. No excuse, but e-mail has been my best way to get ahold of him.

Jody

yea im not mad, i sent 3 in the past month tho. :willy:

He's looking for feedback on this one, so send him another one.

Jody

okie dokie. :captain: im not talking bad, i could become less lazy and call :lol: it could be on my end to, who knows. i'll shoot him another one though, thanks.

wow way cool! nice craftmanship
thats a crazee set up :thumbsup:

As Jody noted, this is something new from Wayne and he's gauging the market on whether or not there will be a big demand for this setup (I think it will be VERY popular). Production variables will be based on the interest/demand. :thumbsup:

well if pricing is fair, i'll buy one asap

I am with slownova. If the price is right I will buy it now...

Wayne just got a set of our AFX spindles to go on these too. Looks like there won't be a single factory part left on the frame, but it all bolts up the same.
Scott, PM me, I have an idea for you.

Tyler

Nice Scott!

Are you thinking of having it powder coated?

A very nice addition to the camaro! :thumbsup:

Man i lovE it! :thumbsup:

Yep, I'll have it powdercoated after mock up.

I'm glad to hear the awesome response on this setup. I really think Wayne has a fantastic idea with this setup and his craftsmanship is 2nd to none.

Now I need to order new inner wheel halves for my HRE's so I can go 18x10's. :thumbsup:

Scott,

That is an awesome looking subframe and you just made my day!!! That is EXCELLENT reference for my 1:12th scale. lol.

The New Subframe
 

That is a beautiful looking piece. What are the pros/cons vs. his Corvette based frames? Is it the stock track width that is the attractive point?

Just curious.

I think the main issue with the corvette frame is the bump steer.I believe it has to do with the location of the rack.

The whole purpose of this frame is to a stock replacement that allows wider front tires and give the guys with stock sub replacement parts an alternative to the stock frame without having to start over. I don't think there is any performance advantage to the sub itself, just bling factor. I felt at the time when I brought it up to Wayne, it was the last niche market for Camaro subs that had not been tackled yet. What I don't see in the pic is whether he left it with stock steering or went to a rack. I will venture a guess with the steering arms on there you are going rack.

Mike

Good guess!

I'd say the rack pictured is a dead give away. :D

Don't forget, PACKAGING is a HUGE concern of mine. I need ALL the space I can get for plumbing.

Somebody has to come up with new inner fenders as well for the wide tires. I would think DSE would be the first, but tooling will be a killer on that size of a part.

Mike

Is that a GT rack? I plan to use an '03 Cobra rack on mine when fabricating commences later this year.

Mike

Where is the dumba$$ icon? For some reason I saw spindles holding the steering arms in place. I must have sniffed to much paint this morning.
