Default NEEDED: Help this weekend w/ rear-end and torque converter install

Hi. I NEED to get my torque converter and 3.73's installed this weekend and could use in extra hand in the Chicago area. I don't have a huge budget, but we could discuss some compensation. Please let me know. Thanks.

Actually I just got the TC in the transmission by myself and installed my LCA's and PHR. Now I just have to bolt up the tranny, install the carrier, and put it all back together. I might wait for my buddy Monday.

rear end really isnt that hard, just getting the pattern down is a bitch, its even worse if you dont have a pinion depth gauge

when i did mine i just used the stock shims and bolted it up, i really didnt check the pattern properly, but they were used gears and i didnt have any marking compound
