Default Gear shop needed for Ford 9" in Atlanta

Can't seem to find anyone worth a s@$% in the ATL to set up my Ford 9" center section. Anyone have a clue?

I got a clue - well sort off - haha. What are you doing with a ford 9''? You building yourself a new rear? My car is actually getting the tranny fixed at the moment - man its been a major pain in the @ss, but let me tell you - the rental car is taking a beating to make up for it.

BTW, how's the weather up there? You get the ice storm?

I've already got everything for the center section, and I'll be ordering a housing soon.
Brandon, give that rental hell <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Hopefully I'll have it setup in time for February. I think Alen wants to run to Montgomery next weekend. You up for it? Let's give that tranny rebuild a real test <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

Montgomery isn't going to work for me next weekend. I'm going home for winter break and I'll be gone till January 5th I believe. After I get back we'll do something.

Although none of us has a shot now that you'll have a decent rear in that car. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

well, i don't know of anyone in atlanta. But I now of someone in Chatanooga that is damn good with 9". I have seen him set up multiple rears for alcohol cars and what not. I have never heard any of them whine (on the street cars, can't hear the alcohol cars). He does a real good job, is reliable and cheap.
PM me or repost if you are interested and i will give you the name and phone

Let it be known that i am not trying to disregard any of our sponsors, but this individual is really good and his shop is not well known. The name of the shop is IN-Tune Motorsports, His name is Scott Bowens.
I talked to him 5 minutes ago and he was going to go out for a while and pay his quarterly taxes. Usually there is more people there but he was supposed to take a trip yesterday to look at a lamborghini in miami but the customer, changed his mind at the last second. If this is deleted I understand but the phone number is 423-336-5850. They do have an answering machine just leave a message. To tell you about the shop.
3 lifts
nitrous fill station
mustang inground dyno
as well as a fully staffed machin shop right next door. his prices on parts are killer to.
I got my flywheel and a few other things through him. He is also going to install a 8.8 in my car before the end of the month. i hope this helps i will PM you this as well so i know you get it.

Oh yeah to be fair he really is the only shop between here and atlanta, knoxville and memphis I trust. No names, but bad experiences. I think more people need to know about him.

Thanks Boo Yeah. I would love to let one of the sponsors on here set it up for me, but no one is remotely near Atlanta, and I don't want to ship it off. I will be calling him today <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Boo Yeah... how much is he doing the 8.8 for? Are you supplying the rear or is he? Just looking for some prices. Also, what axles and what posi? Thanks.

https://ls1tech.com/ubb/ultimatebb.p...c;f=2;t=005242
This is a really good deal and the man knows what he is doing.

and by the way to LONSLO he will close at 6:00 our time. so call him he said you have not called yet. When I told him you had trouble finding one near you, he laughed and basically said thats were he gets all his customers from atlanta. Through rearends

mine will be 28 spline axles (never seen a 10 second car or 9 strip 28 spline so why cost horsepower if you don't need it) and it will be an oem posi for a mustang unless i decide other wise
