Default Flathead Rebuilder in Missouri

I know that there are several good "engine" rebuilders in the KC area.
But, I'm looking for a good flathead shop.
Can anyone recommend a shop in the NW Missouri/NE Kansas area to do the machine work & assembly.

I know it's not NW Mo but Mike's Automotive in St. Louis is the best I have ever found. They back all of their work 100% with a guarantee that if you ever have a problem bring it back and they will make it good. I have never had a problem with their machine work. My dad and I have had several flatheads machined by Mike's and they have always treated us with respect, quality craftsmanship and the best service I have experienced.

I've purchased a lot of parts from them only. Look at their web site and talk to them and visit their shop. Seem to be straight shooters.
