Just ordered my MWC Fab 9 yesterday. Eric spent a lot of time on the phone with me detailing every option and was extremely helpful with guiding me through the purchase to make sure I got everything included for a complete package. Exactly what I needed, Thank you

I just picked up my 9'' today from MWC and had a really good experience and wanted to share. Eric the owner of MWC went over everything with me on the 9"" and gave me some really good advice on my Fbody. I think I spent over a hour just talking about my car with him and how to make it better. I would definitely recommend doing business with him no matter if your new to this hobby for pro. I'll be back to buy viking coilovers and a few other things. I'll post up pictures of my 9'' once I get my gopro charged up.

As much as I’d love to drive my car now that the weather has been nice…I’ve had it 20 years and blessed to be able to make the upgrades. What’s a little while longer. Who knew we would have this craziness going on. Just glad we are all here to talk about it.

It is definitely trying times for every type of manufacturer/retailer to get the items needed to produce a product. It isn't just effecting companies such as ourselves but the food and beverage industry and we all know the craziness going on with lumber and steel at the moment.

My brother owns his own business and has been building pools for over 30 years In the last 2 years with people not being able to travel or vacation the pool demand has skyrocketed! However not only is the material unavailable or hard to get/expensive …he can barely get anyone other than regulars who want to work. They rather stay home and collect, making more money sitting home right now. Once we get in this rut it’s hard to go back to a “normal “.

my package prices are quoted as shipping included. no extra costs or fees to hide. the only thing to consider is if a *completely assembled* rearend has to be delivered residential, then there is a liftgate truck fee, which is gonna happen no matter who sells a product of this size and weight. i do offer a completely assembled rearend(assembly is free), and i have a great discount from FedEx Freight, which i pass along to the customer.
Don't ever be fooled by someone offering "Free Shipping". freight is never free, i don't care who you are.
i have never "bashed" the Moser M9's... i sell Moser products, why would i bash them? i will, however, state the features of my housings that make it a benefit compared to all the other housings out there.
Midwest Chassis Fabricated 9 inch rearend features:
-cad design components, laser cut, cnc folded, seamless tubing, billet housing ends
-fixture welded for consistency and accuracy
-all usa made steel and components, other than Motive Gear brand gears(Italy)
-designed to work on street cars with ORY full exhaust, duals, or hard-core drag cars
-true fabricated design. triangulated design is much stronger than stock stamped type housings. the lightest weight bolt-in housing available and guaranteed as strong or stronger than any others made of the same materials.
-fully gusseted design. internal bulkhead gussets and axle tube go all the way to the carrier studs, fully welded around axle tube, face plate, and housing back side.
-widest housing design- increases strength of housings with or without brace. 4-5 inches of axle tube is welded to the faceplate

-trans crossmember mounted version available for any transmission combo
-tunnel mounted crossmembers available for cat-back or duals.
-tunnel mounted versions include driveshaft loop- no charge
-torque arm is mounted to the crossmembers with a 4 hole height adjustable pivot link. this is the best design to free up suspension movement.

-all ring and pinion gear setups are complete. i assemble them myself. 15 years exp.
-drag-race anti-roll bar available- rearend housing or chassis mounted- option charge
-mild steel and *full* chromemoly versions available. some company's claim their housings to be all chromemoly when the stamped factory type center is not chromemoly
-any one-off custom feature available- you want it- we can build it to your spec.
-industrial grade powdercoating available on the entire setup... only 100.00 as option!
-first company to offer 3 channel abs on production 9 inch rearends
-suspension, driveshaft, brake components offered at discount with rearend purchase
-we are a chassis shop- design, build, assemble, race the components we sell.
-when you call, you talk to me(day or night)... the guy who designed it and built it.
- base price package starts at 2600.00 shipped. includes the housing, axles, complete center section, torque arm and applicable crossmember for your application. a standard 9 inch with similar options and an equivalent torque arm setup will cost over 3000.00. the Midwest Chassis fabricated 9 inch includes features at no charge that others don't even offer.
these are just a few things that come to mind... this post will be long enough.

Oh man I really wish I came across this post before I bought my QP 9" a couple years ago which has all kinds of issues. But thankfully I just pulled the trigger and ordered up your fab 9 and axle package. I kinda hate myself for doing this twice but this is what I get for trying to save a few bucks. I just received your 2 piece race arm and crossmember for my 91 camaro and was gonna just fit it to my QP but decided to just pull it and go all midwest chassis because its so damn nice!! Definitely felt like a huge pain in the *** for checking in once a month about the torque arm/crossmember.

Most of our customers today are saying the same thing as they are either replacing a nine inch bought elsewhere, a 12-Bolt, or 8.8. Five years ago I think we had close to 15 people replacing their 8.8 for all types of issues and the stamped 9 inch with the bracket bracket set up has been keeping us busy in two piece torque arms or people just starting all over in the same manner you did.

Yea after I got my 2 piece arm and crossmember, seeing how nicely crafted it was I just got to thinking if I'm gonna be pulling the rear end again I'm just gonna order up the proper matching housing and axles. Y'all do some beautiful work can't wait to see it all put together. Thanks guys

If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Items must be bought at the same time as the rearend or before your order ships out to take advantage of this offer.
