Received a PM from Eric...mine may ship today if assembly goes well. I like the fact he is very picky about his work and what he sends out...makes me even more confident about his products and his customer service. BIG 
up for Eric and the crew @ Midwest Chassis.

Here is pics of my midwest 9inch powdercoated red locally with most of my suspension components. I went with an Aluminum third member as well as welding the brake holding lines to the rear myself. I even went as far as having the backing plates powdercoated as well. Axles would have been done already but put the backing plates on the WRONG SIDE, lol.
****Make sure you putting the backing plates on the correct side****
I'll post more pics soon and I could even do a HOW-TO install if you guys would like??
Something I might add as well, on the third member if you drill the holes out slighly (have to go see what bit I used) especially the hole at the 6 ad 12o'clock on the aluminum member it will be much easier for it to fit over the studs. My third member will slid onto the studs very easy now and there is no play once it is on.
Here is a pic of the suspension and Driveshaft. BTW this midwest TQ arm is AT LEAST twice as light as my Spohn TQ arm.

just wanted to let you know eric that i got the tq. arm bracket welded on and the car fired up. Took it for a drive and the rear is completely quiet and everything seems fine.
Thanks again for an awesome rear
