They are hard to get ahold of sometimes but I never get the feeling that I am being cut short when I call with a question.

Sounds good everyone, and if you can never get ahold of us feel free to PM me here or email me at midwestchassis@hotmail.com with your question or info for me to call you back.

We only operate with one phone line and I am the only one grabbing the phone these days while Eric is back out in the shop building parts. One thing I don't have a problem doing is talking on the phone..

Default Midwest Chassis & Performance Rocks ...!!!

I am very.... very.... pleased with my Fab 9" rear end purchased from Midwest. Eric & Jason at Midwest Chassis are very Knowledgeable.

They manufacture & build top notch custom made products.
Erics Engineering & Fabrication skills are second to none.

When people look at my Midwest Fab 9...they cant believe there eyes.
Jaws Drop when they see the rear end in my Camaro.

First Glance tells you 2 things.... Strength & Very Heavy Duty.
This rear end was built to last.

My car handles better, stops better & accelerates much better now & this rear end feels Rock Solid in my car. My Camaro feels like a different car now.

My Customer experience with Eric & Jason was the best that i have ever recieved from any business. They walked me through the entire process & they advised me & made sure that i got exactly what i needed for my Application.

Erics Fab 9" rear end is like true " Art work " Midwest Chassis Rocks...!!!

I really expected to have the fill plug in the fabbed housing section like I have seen others posted pics. I called Eric today & he did say its a $30 option, but it doesnt specify anything about it being an option on there website so I really thought it was standard on all of them. When I placed the order I wasnt ever asked if I wanted it, I had no clue it was an option so why would I? After I spent $3500 on this, I am a lil bothered about that. I didnt know the 3rd member had a fill plug as it was at home but yea its there. Good enough I guess. It wouldve been nice if it was on the list of options on their site.

the sidweways bottle can be tough, but a simple 3 foot piece of vinyl hose from the home store attached to the nipple on the bottle will let you fill from the outside of the car through the rear fenderwell.

When I emailed MWC about getting a quote Eric emailed me back a detailed list of what was on the basic fab, and all the options with prices included. Communication with them has been great.

I'm sorry some how that didn't get brought up that would of been my issue, not sure how I didn't mention it as it is the only thing I normally discuss as an up sale considering I am horrible at up sales but this is more of a convenience item and very inexpensive item so I normally have a habit of tossing that option out there.

We rarely sell a fill cap, to the point we keep like less than 6 in stock at a time. Most choose to fill them through the case myself included. If you have a pump with a hook at the end of the hose a fill cap is a GREAT feature, if not the fill on the top is some what a pain to use and the case is easier.

I was at work yesterday & wanted to see where that fill plug was, I didnt remember seeing it so I removed the axle housing from the box. I was ready to blow a gasket when I couldnt find the fill plug on it. I took the ring & pinion home so thats why I didnt know thats where the fill plug is. I really thought someone forgot to install the fill plug in the housing until I talked to Eric. I was thinking filling it from the top wouldnt be that hard on a hoist with the suspension hanging down more. I thought it was standard but no big deal now that I know its in the case.

off topic but hey Eric i have an idea for you, can you make a f-body strut tower brace that will clear a F.A.S.T. 102 intake? Seems like a simple enough piece to make and you would have a monopoly on strut tower braces for fast102 owners.

No we don't, if we did we would be stacked up on other 10-bolts, 12-bolts, and standard 9" that people sold off to get one of our set ups.
