Automotive Machine and Supply just west of downtown Ft. Worth.

They know their **** when it comes to alloy components. They just installed a big CNC machine and are supplying custom V-Twin cylinder jugs to a local builder.

Most the local Viper road racers use them and they specialize in bug and Porsche air-cooled motors.

Steve, the manager, owns a sweet 30th anniversary SS.
