A while back, I posted a need for a mechanic in northeastern Wisconsin who is acquainted with old cars. Nobody could steer me to one. Well, after much searching, I finally found one!

My 1936 Plymouth P2 needed an engine rebuild and was off the road. I HAD to find one! The shop I found is in DePere, 15 miles from where I live in Green Bay. It has been in business for a little over 40 years and the founder, his son, and another guy have been working together there for the last 12 years. ("Mike" at 920-336-8261) It is a complete machine shop and works on all vintages. Last year, they rebuilt two 1930 Chevy engines and currently are rebuilding a 1928 Studebaker and a 1942 Plymouth engine. They just finished a complete engine rebuild of my '36, including timing chain, clutch, correct detailing of the engine compartment, and even rebuilding of the steering box. The price is very fair, and I am very happy with the quality of their work and, importantly, their honesty. The reason I didn't locate them before was because of their name: "Bay Speed Center", which they chose back in the '60's.

I hope this information may be helpful to others in our N.E. Wisconsin area.
