Thats only a little over a weeks work with Eric. He's not like other chassis shops I do know he has had alot of help in the shop lately to get all the rearends done.

Remember, rearends aren't the only thing Eric does for work. He owns a chassis shop.

I waited a long time too. But I said I was in no huge hurry as my car had the motor out...so it was no big deal.

The rears are worth the wait
