That's good news they are selling so well. I never really thought about how many they produce but I would think that's more than most other mfr's could say. My first thought was how many more can they sell at that rate....
22 day avg work days a month x 12 = 264 a year! I would say there is plenty more when you consider that almost 700,000 67-69 camaros were built Plus the repop bodies and poncho's.
O.K. enough with the fun facts (thread jack over)

I think both are great companies but imo if I was building a Camaro I would go with DSE.

The dse front clip can't be beat in the looks department, but i think between the two it would be hard to go wrong!

DSE does have great customer service, as we do as well. Art's been in business for over 35 years in this industry, and we make sure everybody is happy and taken care of. Recently, we had a full frame damaged in shipping and we built a new frame for the customer before the old one came back, even though we may not get reimbursed from the shipping company. But the priority is the customer gets taken care of.

Our main drive is "Pro-Touring", but we don't stop at musclecars. We can set up a '55 Ford pickup, 1940 Ford coupe, or maybe a 1975 Caprice to handle better than a modern Corvette. Heck, we just had a '41 Willys built by Woodys Hot Rods using our frame and suspension outrun a Viper on a road course, driven by a professional driver. Pretty cool.

I got to know Matt. How the heck do you damage a frame in shipping? Secondly do you have a Scratch and dent sale? If so I got Dibs.

We wonder the same thing - One particular chassis had the entire crate blown apart, the rack casting was broke, control arms bent, body mounts bent. It had looked like it was dropped off a multi-story building. Thankfully that sort of damage only happens about once every 3-5 years.

To also address the issue of upgrades on our subframe - We now offer a splined sway bar kit as well as a choice of a larger diameter non splined bar. As of Monday we are a dealer for Penske Racing Shocks and will shortly be offering double and triple adjustable shocks. As for the bushing situation, we are working on some things right now. In the meantime any C6 bushing upgrade will work on our components since they are control arms are OE GM pieces.

As always, thanks for the feedback.
