Default looking for some help!

Please delete if this is inappropriate..

I have a few suspension parts as well as a rear end that I need installed. I had a couple of friends who were going to come by and help but they can't make it. I'm just wondering if there's anyone local to the Houston area that could come by and help me out with the install.

I have basic tools, jacks, jackstands, no garage, I live in apartments, but I have a small car port and a CHILTON car manual.

I don't mind paying some cash for the help or taking yall to lunch or something.

I have contacted LMR by email to see if they could do it but I haven't gotten a response. Other than that there's no real shop around me that I feel comfortable with. Plus I'm just a college kid that wants to go fast...no real money to pay a shop lol.

My car is a 98 3.8 camaro and I have a rear end, torque arm, LCA's, LCA relo brackets, front/rear sway bar set, alum driveshaft, PHB, shocks/springs and all the bushings, end links, mounts, etc that needs to be installed.

I'm in SE Houston on 45 South and the Gulfgate mall area.
You can text or call me 832-659-1807

Thanks everyone!

well I already have bought the rear end, and my sixxer came with a 3.08 open diff rear end, so I'm upgrading to one off an SS camaro.

I'll give him a call and see thanks for the info!

ah dam what is it like a 3hr drive? I had a guy in Austin that would help but too long of a drive for me, plus I don't have a truck. Could you imagine the camaro with just the drivers seats and loaded up with the rear end and all the other stuff? lol

thanks for offering though man
