Thanks Mike
Drove up to Trackdogg2’s place in Garland Friday a week ago to pick up my ‘82’s differential , It needed a good going through. I spent a while visiting with him before returning home to Alvin, a 600 + mile turnaround, not bad a drive, I-45 is posted @75 MPH, Texas translation 95+.
I installed it Saturday, drove it that night to a Cruise In. Just what I expected, everything performed flawlessly,
Thanks Mike it was good meeting you!

I have heard Tracdogg is the best.... I have to get my rear end rebuilt soon.....and will definitely be be considering shipping it off.
Mike do you sell already rebuilt rear ends/diffs and then do partial refunds if/when the current one is shipped to you?

Mike is a great guy and has worked on both of my cars.
Bo on the other hand will take the last bite of your hot dog and then look at you with those big sad eyes like you both know you should have brought more hot dogs.

Bo seems to have a fan club, I took him chilis mini burgers once, next time I came ( burgerless) he didn't seem as interested in hanging out, lol

Sorry about Bo Mike.
As far as Mike goes, he does very good work. I don't trust my parts to just anyone. I've throttled hard on my new rear end set-up and it has taken the abuse just fine. Thx Mike.

Mike, sorry to hear about your loss. I had to step over him a few times to enter your work shop when I was there. I think I was interupting his nap.

Thanks guys
I've been thru this many times during the past 50 years. But Bo was special. I've never had a best friend quite like him. He had a unique personality. I'm thankful he didn't suffer and I was able to be with him at the end.
Mike
