    It's done!!

    I got there today and had the tires mounted on the rims and at about 1:30p Bryant started work. He didn't get done til a little after 5pm. That's with the center section already built. I can't believe how much work goes into such an install.

    He got the rear end off (after spilling hot gear oil on me!) and put the straightened housing in place.

    Look at the size difference of these tires.

    Lookin good under there. Its a pretty routine job for us guys in the trade but your right it is a chunk of work by the time you transfer everything over, bleed the brakes etc. Its so worth it though :thumbs2::thumbs2::thumbs2::thumbs2::thumbs2::thumbs2::thumbs2:.

    You're probably right Darren. It's nice though to get a shop that's proofessional and honest and takes pride in their work. It's a cliche, I know but those shops are hard to find because money is sometimes more important than the quality of work delivered.
    I'm not trying to give Bryant a big head but he really went above and beyond on that rear end install. I'm very pleased and just like many of you wouldn't want your tranny's built by anyone other than PaulS or someone in his caliber, I wouldn't want my rear end touched by anyone's hands except those big ol' paws of Bryant's....wait, did that sound weird?
