Hey guys,
Been a member of Stangnet for a while, usually post in the Classics section. I am in the process of a major drivetrain upgrade (CHP 347, T5, new gears...) and need to find a shop to have my driveshaft shortened. I live in the North Central part of MA, Fitchburg/Leominster area. Anyone reputable reasonably close by before I just start calling from the Yellow Pages? Click here to check out 68 Fastback project. Thanks in advance.

Only place I know of is down here in R.I....... Rhode Island Driveshaft. They have been around for about fifty years.

Try Capeway bearing in Plymouth, Mass. They're in the Camelot Industrial Park on Long Pond Road (Exit 5 off of Route 3). They can fabricate you an entire driveshaft from your u-joint yokes. Years ago, I had them take a look at my 4x4 Ford Ranger's driveshaft (which was bent.) They cut the tube off, welded on a brand new tube and balanced it for me. That took care of my vibration. I'd give you their phone number if I had it handy, but I don't. Look 'em up and ask if they're still doing that type of work. Good luck!

Thanks for the responses guys. I was hoping to find something a little closer than Plymouth, which is about 1 1/2 hour drive one way, but 2 votes back to back for the same shop, I may have to strongly consider it.
