    My favorite machine shop closed it's doors when the owner retired a couple years ago. I'm having a hard time finding another. Any leads?

    i know it's a bit far north of you (maybe), but have you tried Tatom Custom Engines in Mt. Vernon?

    What do you need machined? If you are looking for a regular machine shop, try Walrus Machine in Ballard. I'm not sure how much engine stuff he does.

    Are you needing engine machining or just a machine shop? If it's engine machining you need try Pacific Auto Machine in Renton. All of my buddies have used them. The place has been around for years.<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 border=0><TBODY><TR vAlign=top><TD cl***="firstcol vcard">[SIZE=-1]Here's their address;[/SIZE]

    Another idea would be if you can find Ralph Ghent. He ran a shop called Rally Round in Seattle. They specialized in Alfa Romeros, but Ralph is really good and he works on American stuff regardless. He did an awesome job on my 389 Pontiac.
