i seen posted pics somewhere just a little bit ago, lol, chitown is awsome..haha. It wont be 150lbs for me, i already have all tubular stuff in moly (PA k-member, racecraft lowers n UMI uppers) but this stuff will be lighter ESPECIALLY with that spindle! Id say another 30# i can save from swaping my Racecraft/UMI/stock spindles for his upper/lower/spindle combo.

He was also tellin me how hes gonna make solid motor mounts for that style k-member he made, a solid mount that bolts to the block that will slide into the k-member like you and I have. Cant wait for them either!

yea i told him to run off 2 sets so i can get a pair Eric will make anything anyone wants, lol. I told him i needed a crossmember for my th350 in my '94 and hes like "no prob dude, ill make it outta aluminum so itll be light for you". Only problem is he needs to clone himself 4x's over so he can get all this **** made......or get a few guys who can get this stuff welded up! MWC, truly your one-stop-shop

You were the inspiration for the Aluminum TH400 crossmember that will accompany the motor mounts

I will be purchasing a set of spindles and strange brakes in the coming month or so.....maybe sooner if all the stars line up. I definitly think a 2" drop is too much for my car. I seem to be liking the price and specs of the Berger piece.....and also like the fact he seems Steve seem to be really helpful on this board.

Plus I think I told him I'd give him some business a few months back and haven't followed through yet :/

I ordered my stuff 2 months ago from Eric. Waiting patiently. There should be a clause that states any one who ordered should get to see the pics!!!

I'm not sure if I'm missing the midwest chassis joke or what???? Does anyone actually have any pics of his set-up? Or is it a big joke or something? Its seems like a lot of people in here are swinging on how great his stuff is.......but are all saying it takes months to get, or that they are still waiting for their parts. I, personally, am not into waiting months for parts.

Did I miss something? Fill me in.

Pretty sure Eric is makeing the kit and is not fully out yet, and the people above have order it and only a few actually seen pics or seen it at his shop. Eric is bombarded with people ordering FAB 9 inchs and trying to do other cars and projects. O and i am waiting on my 9 inch also and his whole rear suspension. I am going to pick my stuff up when done and then i can check this frontend out. Eric is a great guy to talk to and deal with and makes some top notch suspension parts and cars.

The joke is that we had the prototype car and it was in development over a year. As the prototype car we have the only set up right now since he just finished it up Sunday. Since it is not actually out yet, Eric does not want us to post pictures of it even though I have a whole bunch of them ready to go

So yes I have lot of pictures of final prototype/first production pieces. It is VERY nice stuff, some of the best I have seen for the 4th gens. The "delay" in getting parts is based on the fact that it is not actually released yet. He wants to build a few sets and have them ready before he actually releases them for sale to cut down on lead times.
