Rear-end help

I've got all my parts gathered for my 8.8 rear end build up. Instead of just dropping everything off at a shop, i would liike to try and assemble this thing myself.....with some help.

Anyone close have experience building rearends (gear setup too) that would like some free beer and lunch?

All this nice weather lately is killing me! I have to get this thing on the road!

Brian, I did mine and so far hqave had no problems. I would be glad to help but I will be in St. Louis until Thrusday afternoon. If you still need help when I get back I can bring my indicators and extra shims and we can give it a try. Did you buy new gear, and bearing kit? Will need crush washer etc.

I'll check here to see if you still need help when I get back or just give me a call.

David

That would be great David! I got some FMS 3.27 gears used with 15k miles on them. I also bought an install kit with new bearings, etc. Got my 5-lug axle kit from Richard Oben of North Racecars. Have a trac-lok rebuild kit that im going to tackle this afternoon if i have time.

Call me when you get back in town. 404-642-1597
