Re: Good machine shop in Denton TX
I'm in Denton too. My dad had a motor rebuilt at Anderson's Machine Shop in Lewisville several years ago. Wayne Calvert is supposed to be really good too.

Dave Plubell in Garland is good too, a bit of a drive for you though.

Re: Good machine shop in Denton TX
Dunno I haven't dealt with them for years but know of plenty of people that have their machine work done there.

Re: Good machine shop in Denton TX
I used Kim Barr Racing Engines in Garland. Shop# is 972-272-6121. Established in 1974 so must be doing something right. He also has dyno in shop if you want numbers.
