Tom's?

Dave, I've hear Tom's is either out of the Corvette business, or wants out. Fred Lee and the Driveshaft Shop are working together, not sure how it is going, haven't heard from fred in a while.

Alan, I'd heard that there was a family health issue and the business on the market or closed for awhile but that was years ago. Since then someone mentioned they'd gotten parts from Tom's so I passed on the hope of finding help.

I tried calling him a few months back and never got an answer.

Keep trying, I had the same non-response years ago.

I talk to Fred Lee weekly and he's got castings for many of the new IRS cars out there. Not sure about older Corvettes but it's worth giving him a call.

Call International Axle. They make Hardened stub axles and spindles for 63 to 79 IRS rears.763 428 5020. Ask for Tom. My brothers 75 Vette has been deep in the 9's with his stuff. I have them in my 67 and my brother has them in his 63 also.
