    can anyone mill a steering shaft for me

    it came with only about an inch milled and i need about 6-8 inches so i need a little help since i have no access to a machine shop, i am willing to pay but i need it done sooner than later. to be more specific this is to correct the distance gained after a body lift on a customers car
    thanks

    they will take 2 weeks to get it done i was hoping that someone here had a mill or had access to the tamu machineshop or something like that. if youve ever taken a shaft apart for a jeep(others probably too) then you will remember where the plastic pins are, well that area is millled down from a round bar to 2 flat sides and 2 rounded sides(if you were to imagine a square). the shaft that i have now only has about an inch of the bar milled and we need it to be about 6 or 7 inches. it would be easy to do in a mill with the propper bit i assume but i don't have the access to a shop with that capability. as i earlear stated we will pay for your time
