I know he has been working hard fabricating rear ends all week long, I'm sure he will chime in when he gets a free moment.

Agreed, I PM'd him making sure he got the money i sent him for my order, and he said he was going to be working hard pumping these out. Just be patient, he will reply!

things are going well.... i will start shipping again next week. the latest design housing sheetmetal is in the laser now. i am still building the modified race housings to fill orders until the next production batch is in my hands.

the new tunnel mounted loops are being built. i have to get them coated and will start shipping those in 2 weeks.

another new product on the way, also... think stock style, lightweight, tubular rear sway bar with poly or heim joint end links. details coming soon.

Now I'm going to have to start saving up for two of these. You put out some trick stuff and I'll definetly be ordering my 9 inch for my formula once it's done. I just have to get all the measurements figured out.

Default fabricated 9

Looks like I may have a Moser 9" for sale, this looks to be a better route.

What's the delivery time on one of your packages? i've seen a few guys on this thread that have them ordered but no one has said how long it takes you to get one to them.

I just purchased a bracketed housing today with a few other goodies from Midwest Chassis. I have to say, the customer service was over the top. He answered all my questions and gave my lots of pointers with my build. He didn't give me BS sale's pitches either.. very honest guy. This was probably the best quality product for the money I have purchased so far.

I'm just wondering how it actually compares to the M-9. I've hears a few guys on this thread bash the M-9 and I've also noticed that Bob from Exotic has been up front with pricing and he also covers the shipping. What I really want to know is what makes this stuff better? It's my understanding that Moser has over 30 of these out there with no problems. I've noticed that on this thread they claim the M-9 to be over priced but there has been no actual comparison of pricing. If the Midwest package is $2600. and Bob sells the M-9 for around $3000. and covers the $200. plus shipping so it it seems to be a wash on pricing. Bob has posted on another thread the plusses of the M-9 but i've seen nothing on the Midwest thread about what makes their package better. I've found that the best way to do business is to tell people why your product is better not bash your competition. So tell me why this is better!

No bashing at all on here from me. Everyone is making a great product and fighting for a few rear-ends to sell. I know that The moser M9 is a nice peice but I feel in comparing the (2) Erics is a better quality, a little stronger due to the braces and internal gusseting used, and can basically add or take away any small options needed due to him making every rear-end by hand.
Again taking nothing away from the M9 as its also a true fabricated rear-end but from the half dozen or so I have seen in person, just are not quite as nice. Erics customer service is top notch and his shop can answer any questions you may have about these cars as he has his own shop car to try his own parts on. He can then scap a idea and put it in the pile of "didnt works" and start over and have a superior product. Eric has built several cars for me from a state of the art NMRA Hot street car that won best engineered to a Drag radial car, and a 7 sec 10" tire car.
Hope this shed a little light on the deal, not taking anything away from the others, I just beleive if you lay them all out. Midwest Chassis will shine through.
