Motor City Flatheads is gone. Mark Kirby is still around the Dundee, MI area
but his shop has been sold. He had tremendous financial problems after his
heart surgery and never recouped the the losses. Too bad. He is a good guy,
just not a business type.
I spent two hours at Muscle Motor Sports, Bob Gribble's place yesterday. Talk
about a "candy" store. You name it, they have it. There is probably 5 tons of
brake discs alone. You need a NACA duct for a plexi/lexan window? Hundreds of
em. What a resource. I bought five guages, an aluminum panel and some switches
for just over $100.00. He has miles of used braided hose and used fittings.
And I have no financial interest here other than how much I spend on my car.

Don,
The LSR guys from Minnesota had a couple of engines built by Motor City
Flatheads about 10 years ago. They run the Flatty powered gas/fuel, blown.and
unblown hiboy roadster #1963, I believe.
I sold Motor City some of my Flatty main caps and girdles about the same
time. It was not a happy experience. I finally cut the ties with
them.........Ardun Doug King
