Oh yeah, they are taking care of everything.
The rear is being shipped to Byars performance in Ky to be fixed and assembled there tomorrow. The Boyd Wheels should be here this week. I'm hoping to get the rearend back by late next week. They are still working on what's left at this point till the rear gets back. I'm hoping by the time it comes back, that's all they will have to do to get it rolling again.

I want to give a huge thanks to Freddie Byars of Byars performance on the fast work he did in getting my rear end rebuilt and now shipped back to gearhead garage. He typically is in the camaro forums as Biggearhead, but I wanted to give the guy some love here. I should (hopefully) have the car shortly after that.

Hey Steve. I used Nissan 350Z silver on the stripes. I don't have the codes off hand, if you need them I can get them today?
Well I talked to the shop today, and the rearend should be there by tomorrow. It goes on, and then it gets to go to the interior shop for about a week while the new aircon lines go in and the rest of the interior and stereo system. The stereo is done, just waiting for the custom door panels to go on to cover them. The wiring is done. Everything else is done. It has to be aligned and tuned. I had an issue with steering and the brakes when the Hydroboost was installed. It would feel notchy as did the brakes so I think there has to be some air in the lines, but nothing can get done till the rearend goes back on. After that is done, the car goes back to the paint shop for the touch up under the wheel well when the wheel blew off. Other then that
They need to have it done by August 1st for Hot August nights in Reno.
