Anyone know where I can get my Ford 9" housing setup with GM A body brackets in the Metro Detroit Area?I already have the brackets and housing ends. I went to Drive Train Specialists only to find that work is not done at the location near me. I have someone that welds, but without knowing the specs it becomes a little more difficult.
Thanks

The welds will be done correctly and with the correct welding rod to weld steel brackets to the housing tubes. Mike is very detailed and will explain the whole process to you in regards to the types of steel the brackets are and the type of steel that housing tubes are made from. I can't say enough about him.

If you don't know who Mike P. is, then just visit classracer.com and they'll tell you. He built a ton of the Cobra Jets, Challengers (Don Garlit's car) and was the key chassis setup man for the release of the new COPO Camaros. The big 3 go to him for anything chassis related.




Just north of Romeo MI

 

You might consider shipping the housing to Moser,if they are their brackets,or whoever made those brackets.The housing is not expensive to ship,when it is bare.I just shipped a bare O-axle housing to California on Monday,and it was $75.00

Regardless,someone with a jig,and all the specs to put everything in the correct location.

 

DTS told me of someone north of Romeo, it wasn't Mike though. It was a guy named Kevin(don't have the info in front of me). I left him a vm, but he never returned my call. I'll Give Mike a call.

It is a bare housing I was given. I purchased the brackets from Currie. I like their setup because of the upper Johnnie Joints. Currie can do it for $100, plus the ride both ways... Hard to believe I can't find someone here in the "Motor City"! I'd just hate to spend more having this done than I would if I just bought a housing with the brackets installed.

Thanks Guys, I'll check both options.

 

Talked to Mike yestersday, really nice guy. He's going to see what the time\cost vs. a new housing would be for me.

Thanks again
