good stuff guys. The frame looks interesting and can't wait to use one.

Gbody, If you sit and think about it, $67 isn't a whole lot of money considering your average hobbyist will spend that to band aid a frame and/or suspension to perform maybe half as good as we anticipate the DSE unit to do.
Now having used several Alston frames in the past I can tell you that the amount of money spent there is just for stronger welds, prettier frame than stock and no other performance gains. Maybe a 5 in cool factor but that drops to 2 when you get passed by a stock equipt frame with a g mod.
Im sure most of us can afford it if we cut fundage on other portions of our builds. ie: cheaper headers, carb, ignition system, 9k paint to 5k paint, and loose the 2k in stereo equipment.
