Default Mark Kirby ?
Hi. I am trying to contact Mark Kirby from Motor City Flathead. He built my Blown Flathead for my 40 Coupe. What ever happened to him ?
Thanks
Joe

The last I've heard was he got hooked up with Shadow Rods. When you go to Shadow Rod's website, it is about 5 years out of date.

I know Mark was suffering from health issue a while back. I hope you are able to locate him. Good luck.

He is likely still around Dundee MI. There are no obits so he's likely still kickin.

A few years ago, we got a tour of Gollers Hot Rods in Defiance, OH.
Mark Kirby was somehow involved with their operation. I got to ride in his demo car, I think it was a '34 coupe with one of his engines. What a ride!
Anyway, you may want to get in touch with them to see if you can make contact with Mark.
Gollers info:
Goller's Hot Rods 05026 Christy RD Defiance, OH 43512. Phone/Fax: 419.428.2271. Email: [email protected].

Surely, Mark is likely just finishing-up putting the final touches on that long-promised new aluminum flatty we've all been holding our collective breaths for. DD

It seems I have waited longer for that aluminum flathead than I have for a kind word from my first wife. (I divorced her in 1972).
