Reason is I put in a Mustang 2 / 5 lug front end in. Shops I have checked quoted me just under 500 smackers. Seems like a lot of mulah. Thanx
Try prayer as the first response rather than a last resort ...

Moser Engineering in Portland Indiana will do it and it's not all that expensive. http://www.moserengineering.com/Pages/contact.html | | |
