Broke some teeth on the pinion gear in the roadster unfortunately and just got around to dropping the center section to ***ess the damage, but not sure where to take it to get setup. The car has a 58 pontiac/olds rear and I'm also looking for a gear set (4.88 or 5.13s) if anyone happens to have something available. I talked to Hooper's a little while back, but they didn't instill any confidence in me that they were comfortable working on the rear since they couldn't quote me on parts or labor .
The GEAR SHOP (FORMALLY TOMS DIFF) in Paramount 1-562-634-1396 Tip: buy gears yourself and just have Gary do the setup right around $275 plus any bearings & seals

Ramjet on San Fernando Rd in Sun Valley. Ask for Eddie. He's done several for me over the years. I may also know of some gears. PM me
Did you ever sort this out? I know a place that does great work (I've seen your car locally), and have a friend that has some of those "low" ratio gears
