Any good Machinist in the Central Valley?

[selarep]

I'm looking at getting my axels drilled to 5x4.5 pattern from the 6 isuzu pattern and I can't seem to find a machinist who knows what they are doing or has ever done it before.
I called Fearless gear and the guy said to he could ship them to some company far away with shipping at $40 an axel plus another $1XX for each axel redrilling. That's ridiculous.
Anyone recomend anyone?

looks like your super cheap rear axle solution isnt as cheap as youd thought...

machine time isnt cheap... especially at a job of 2...

got wheel spacer adapters?

 

[selarep]

wheel spacers are only sold in sets of 4 for the 6 to 5 lug and they run about $200.
I know I cant get them drilled cheaper and yes my super cheap real axel solution is as cheap as I thought. I just gotta find the machinist.

You can take them to Lombardi. He's a little quirky, but I think he can do them. He's got a small shop off Golden State & Bullard. Tell him I sent you, he knows me well. 275-1820

Score! Thanks Matt!!!
Edit: The guys name is Phill, Right? I just got off the phone with his brother, I think.

Phil is his name. He's the machinest. You probably talked to "Pops". That's his father. His brother & nephew have "The Choppin Block" next door to the machine shop. They do some pretty cool fab work if you're into lowered, air bagged, chevy's...

Have you called Fowler Machine, I have already talked to them about redrilling my drums for 5X5.5"?
