Default Steering Box Rebuilt

Couple months ago I was on this forum trying to get information about rebuilding a steering box. I found a thread about Gary's corvette service. I contacted Gary by email and then by phone. I pulled the box about two weeks ago; he received it on a Friday and started working on it right away. He sent numerous pictures documenting his progress. It was done after only a weekend; it was shipped back to me the next Monday! He rebuilt it and blueprinted the box. I got the box back on my car with little problems! Took it out for a spin and I must say it is 'awesome'. It hasn't ever felt that precise and tight. There is absolutely no slop or play in the steering at all. I am 110% pleased.

Gary offered one day service to me. Make prior arrangements, drive to New Haven on a Saturday or Sunday, watch him do his magic, chew the fat and take pics. Drive home with a rebuilt box. A more affable guy you'll never find.

It's a crying shame he was driven out of this forum.

Gary was offered a sweetheart deal on becoming a supporting vendor so he could continue to market and promote his services here without having to do it under the table. He declined, but is welcome to come back any time he changes his mind.
