machine shops -- North Carolina

Post by higgins67 »

I'm recently arrived to the Raleigh-Durham area of North Carolina, and am embarking on a rebuild of my '67 3-main R16.

Any recommendations on a machine shop in the general neighborhood?

Thanks, all!

Hi Bob:
I have a friend in Raleigh who may be able to recommend one, will check and see. Otherwise a short drive to Winston Salem/Clemmons will find Kevin Bush at Bush's Machine shop. He has worked on multiple roadsters and Z Cars including U20, R16 and H20 motors. He also works with Clemmons Speed shop for balancing/blueprinting and flywheel lightening. He builds cars for the local race crews out at Bowman Gray stadium. I can't recommend him enough, just don't be in a hurry!

Many thanks and, happily, time is on my side!
