Marlin Crawler Left.... Need Help!!

Ok, so I've had my Marlin Crawler Lefty tcase sitting in my garage for 3 months.... Maybe longer! I really need to get this thing put in as my speedo is not registering and my shift points are off a little. My wife just lost one of her jobs and we have a 6 month old so I cannot afford to pay a shop to put it in. Sorry for the sob story. But now, the wifey just see's a $2400 box sitting in the garage. She said we should sell it!!!! She said its just sitting there, might as well. So Im asking for some help... Please!!! Im confident I can put it in myself, the problem is that the twin sticks need to be modded a little bit so they pop out in the right spot and I dont have welding capabilities.

SO this is the situation I'm in. Im asking for some help putting it in. I cant offer much other than pizza and beer. If anyone can help, please let me know!!! Thanks.

Im in Emeryville, Ca. I will drive anywhere in the Bay Area including Sacramento.

I've put a couple in including reinstalling mine a couple of times. It's not too difficult just a little time consuming and the sticks aren't a big deal.

Give me a call, we'll have a look and figure out a time to put it in.

Nice, I may stop by and lend a hand. It'll make it easier for me when the time comes to put a marlin in mine.

Let me how that goes. I am looking at something along those lines for my truck. Don't think I am going the inchworm way. Been doing some research on the Marlin.

If you have ever spent any Time with Marlin (the man ) then IMO you would definitely but one from him.. Truly an amazing person and always has gears ratios going through his head...
