    Does anyone know who owned the K&L speed shop in Detroit? Anybody involved with any of the cars they sponsored? Looking for info on a car I am currently restoring. Thank you

    Prior to the telegraph location they were on Grand River near Burt rd. Andy Mannarino frequented the place and had a couple of cars that were sponsored by them, if you check on facebook look up a group called Michigan Hot Rod, you will find several people that have some knowledge of that location.
