The good business always has the target on their back.....I would take it as a compliment.... If someone wasnt talking about it, it would not be worth talking about.

Got mine yesterday. Quality is GREAT! Was a lil wait time, but lets give Eric a break. It is growing pains and he is getting it all lined out now. We overloaded him pretty good. He is working his *** off gettting the units done, not rushing it. Doing everyone right! Product in KILLER in the end, and is WELL worth the wait.

Well here are a few pictures of the MidWest Chassis & Performance fabricated 9" housing. This rearend housing has alot of custom one off items on it. I'm very local to Eric and he wanted to add some custom items to my housing as he knows how hard we are going to push the car this year. Our goal for this year is to be in the top 3-4 nitrous LSX cars in the country So, Eric added the bars on the back, wheelie bar brackets, more internal gussets than normal, narrowed 3" per side, narrowed LCA brackets, and some chrome moly brackets for other things.


I also picked up his new torque arm, trans cross member with solid torque arm mounts, lower control arms, 40 spline gun drilled Strange axles with pocket milled flanges, 5/8" stud package, Afco double adjustable front coil over shocks, and new front springs. My new strange hyper coil springs havent come in, so he gave me some temporary springs to use to get the car rolling. The car will be going back to Eric in a few weeks to get a Lexan windshield put in, anti roll installed, and a parachute setup.

The fab work on this rearend is fatastic, couldn't be happier with it. Everything came out the way I wanted and better. I cant wait to get it in the car and put together. Eric is definitely a good guy to deal with, and it was well worth the wait.

Again a big thanks to Eric at Midwest Chassis & Performance

And for the pictures.....

I sold the 12 bolt, old front and rear QA1's, old torque arm, control arms, old Wilwood brakes, etc etc. I always like to sell my parts to help fund the new stuff.

I still had to put out cash, but it worked out well in the end, right Eric
