Default Re: Anyone know this engine builder????

I lived in Leyden township from 1982-1992 near grand & wolf road and I don't remember any machine shop on grand west of mannheim at that time.The only automotive machine shops that I remember in the local area at that time were Franklin park auto parts which is at 9514 grand which is just east of mannheim, E M S at 3300 N mannheim a few blocks north of grand and Chicago performance 9316 franklin av.Franklin pk. Which was the place that did all the machine work for the ET shop.

Hold the bus folks, I believe I know who ran the Auto repair shop in question. This shop was west of Mannheim on the north side of Grand just east of the fire station. This persons name is John Cunningham. I know a couple employees names of Leo something and Mike and Robbie Phillips. Had work done there back in the late 70's. Closed in the middle of a bunch of work I had in there for unrelated to business reasons. I know these guys.

Hey Tim, Is'nt John Cunningham the guy who ran that 10k mile original paint 68 Blue Nova at Byron the last couple seasons? I think thats the place. Now I believe there is a Tucon bird on the side of that building. I need to talk to someone who was at that shop in 1980. Any help or contacts would be appreciated. P.M. me if you'd like. Thanks, Don

That whole block is now a printing company. They used to be known as Tukaiz Printing, but believe that they have changed their name.
