Well, I’m a do it your self guy because I can’t find a shop or contractor, for that matter, that can’t do the job right. Most everyone just wants to get done and get paid. And most customers can’t understand the process well enough to know what it takes to do the job correctly and don’t want to pay for that service. Over the years I’ve collected the tools and knowledge to do most jobs associated with rebuilding these old Mopars. It’s my passion, not a job. I started doing a few jobs to pay for my tools and the overhead for my big shop. I’ve got a press, the clamshell pullers and the $1000 setup tool that no shop in town has. They just guess, then run a pattern. Get it close then out the door and if it whines, just blame in on” well sometimes these gears just whine a bit”. I watched a shop do that just the other day. And they are one of the better ones. Anyway, I cook the case, clean, paint, change the bearings, gears and using my setup tool, I set the depth and run a pattern. It’s perfect when it leaves my place. I do all that labor for $650. Some gears are harder than others to get it right. I can get all the jobs I want and never had a job complaint from noise. Most shops don’t go through all the steps I do and don’t charge as much, but they know what there service is worth. That’s why I do it myself.

From my understanding. These new cases all come from the same place and are slow in coming like everything else. Cass can make more money selling parts than building them and with no help, it would be worse. He’s a volume dealer instead of one of these guys that tries to make a lot off of one sale. I sure can’t complain about him. He’s always been good to me or anyone else I send his way. You are just as good in using your oem case and rebuilding it. I’ve done many and never had a problem.
