Default 21st century street machine frame rails

i am in the process of returning a prostreet camaro into a pro - touring car. I was wondering if any one has any experience with there frame rails for a first gen? My plan is to get dse mini tubs and move the rails inword. Will i have to cut the trunk pan to get them in. If any one has pics i would appriciate seeing them.

thanks in advance

Do you have the rails already, because I've been told that 21st Century is out of business? If you still want pictures, PM me, I've got 4 or 5.

They are not out of business that I know of.

Very happy with my unit and how it installed.

Freebird, what pictures do you want? I have about eleven millions images on file. lol

Or is this simply evil marketing by AME?

No definitely not evil marketing- we don't play those sort of games.......

The rumors that we had heard that they were going that direction and Matt posted based off of that.

I hope that they don't go out of business, it looked like they built some nice parts.

Craig, I had hoped by the LOL smilie to indicate that I did NOT think it was "evil" marketing by AME. I like what you guys are doing and wish I had a project on which I could use some of your products. As the proud owner of both a 21st Century subframe and a Lateral Dynamics 3 link, I'll have to wait for the next build.

AME doesn't play those games.. mainly because they don't need to


And to be honest, if they had made thier sub when I got mine then I would have gone with the AME stuff mostly because they are such great guys and Craig would have given me a free t-shirt. lol

Nonetheless, the 21st Century sub is some good stuff and still the only one I know of to retain the lower control arm eccentric bolt system.

I dont have the rails yet. I did speak with them last week, so they are not out of business. THe pictures that i am looking for are pics from the bottom of the car. Curious of what needs to be modified to fit. Can i move them inward without modifing the trunk pan?
