There is someplace in B'ham that does it. I've never been there, but Tracy had hers done there according to this thread:
http://www.streetstangs.net/showthread.php?t=3181 Check out page 3 of the above thread. The place is called Birmingham Spring and apparently they do it for $40.

I think that you will find that it is not the driveshaft. It is that you are installing a TKO in a 94 up stang. Everyone I have seen here and on stangnet have had the vibration problem including me. I got it to disipate some by shimming up the tail of the trans to the point that the trans is against the top of the trans tunnel noww and there is still a vibration.
Here is what I have tried: drive shaft spacer - no help new U joints - no help Rotating the driveshaft - again no help shimming up the tail - little help but ran out of room Only thing that I have not tried but was told to do by D&D was to use the stock tranny mount. Good luck with getting rid of the vibration and keep us posted.

Bill it is most likely not the drive shaft as slvrbullit has stated. If you drove the car with out a vibration then installed the tko and now have a vibration that pretty much canceles out the driveshaft.

That's not bad then. I am pretty sure the vibration that slvrbullit is referring to is at a way lower speed than that |

SLVRBULLIT's vibration is like 65...then goes away around 80. The shifter shakes too, so it's under the tunnel.
Bill302, yours almost sounds like a tire needing a balance. I would double check the tires, even if it's just on a bubble-balancer.
