Since my previous post was deleted, does anyone know how to get in touch with Brent Terry?

Does anyone know of any shops in Louisiana, east TX, or even down to the Houston area who has experience straightening a front axle? I'd even be open to shipping it if not too cost prohibitive. My replacement axle needs some straightening done to it, but it isn't something I'm comfortable...

I just obtained a used axle to replace my original that had worn holes for the spring perch bolts. After looking at it more closely and comparing it side-by-side to my original, there are a couple issues that either will or may need addressing: The first is the wear on the top of the axle from...

I'm in the process of rebuilding everything in the front suspension, steering, and front brakes and have come across something I'm not sure about. While test fitting my new parts and checking for wear on the old ones, I noticed that the spring perches have a slight wiggle to them when inserted...

Does anyone have any tips or tricks to get to the two innermost oil pan bolts? I'm trying to drop the pan because I found several shims lodged in the drain hole when I went to change oil. I can't get a socket in between the front of the oil pan and the radiator support/crossmember. It's too...

Is the current version of the Signal Stat 900 turn signal switch that's sold made with a metal housing like the old ones or a plastic housing?
