who does gears?

I salvaged a 1990 8.8 rear with 2.73's. I plan to clean it up, paint it and buy some 3.55 gears. Who have you guys used for gear install and would you use them again?

I used a guy local. He took out my 3.08 gears and installed the 3.55 gears that are in my 8.8 now.

I would not recommend him, though.

Some dude running around town with an 84 GT and an 89 LX convertible.
Thinks he knows a little about Foxes.

I give a second on Andy, he did some work for me recently even with his new shop not quite open yet. I have heard good things about him and setting up gears, I think he did Patrick's and he'll probably be the one to do mine when I get some new ones.

I think the number to his new shop is, 652-9936.

I haven't been short since I was 15, but the top is thinnin' a little.

Try Deron Shady @ 859-1969, you'll probably have to leave a message but make sure you say Skip told you to call. He's been working on Mustangs for several years.
