Not that expensive compared to the DSE parts,

Thats a power steering cooler,

The subs come out real nice, and powdercoated too,

I'm trying to call them SMD parts, Scott Mock Designs.

Is that the bare frame only or did that include some of the suspension & steering components too?

I start unwrapping stuff from Brown Santa before i've finished signing his battery powered clipboard! You're getting too old, Steve.. You need to be driving this thing, already.. There's been a lot of corvettes showing up, parting out on craigslist. If I see an 05+, i'll let you know.
