Everythings worked out so far and the install was pretty straight forward. I'm just breaking in the gears right now so I cant really say much.

I have done the chassis and suspension thing. I am gonn astick to the Turbo setups and let Eric take care of my suspension needs.

JWS6... looking for a pic of where the torque arm is close to the exhaust just behind the trans. this is the area where others have expressed interest in how it fits. i want to show that it works in street cars with long tube headers and ory's.

for the guys with orders in... i was at the laser shop yesterday and today hand forming some more sheetmetal for the housings. only thing we were waiting on. we're rolling again!

I agree with all the previous comments. I bought a good bit of stuff on top of the rear and it still beat the M9 price. Cant wait. And Eric when I get it in I want you to use pics of my car on that site of yours!

It sure is nice to be the first one on the waiting list for the housings once Erik gets the metal formed

I've got the bottom of the car all painted and clear coated now, so when I get the rearend in I'll send you the images to use for your site. Or we can take them down at your shop since its only an hour drive from me.

Let me know the progress on my housing

You wont be sorry if you decide to upgrade to Midwest Chassis's Torque arm. It is a awesome piece and with Eric being a racer/fabricatior himself, he can pretty much help with ANY questions over the phone or even via email!
