Default Bravo drive guru near Chicago/Rockford

I just got a hold of an Imco case and need the gears swapped out on my lower and resealed. Are there any guys out there nearby that are real good as well as reasonably priced? Some one quoted me $350 plus parts and it seemed a little high. Maybe Im out in left field.
Thanks Greg

Mr. Gadgets/Dick does a real good job on Bravo One drives. He does lots of upgrades/mods for people here on OSO, but he's over here in southwestern Michigan just outside of Saugatuck. Dick's number is 616-403-1006.

Well I went to Water and wheels and met Keith today. Talk about a clean shop and a guy that gets the high performance "thing". I saw your motor pantera. Looks great. I love the custom paint too. How fast are you estimating yoiur 28 will be? So far I feel comfortable with him and hope to get my drive back next week. Thanks !

Was his price any different than what was quoted to you?

Seems to me I had heard in that ballpark before.
