names from the past... Spidey should love this....

[ls7gto]

As we know times are tough right now, which had me feeling all nostalgic. I got to thinking about all the parts and service companies that have disappeared throughout the years. I thought we could have a post , of those who are long gone. So they wont be forgotten.
add as you like... say 3 per post ...

Jahns pistons
duffys pistons ( bought by TRW?)
zeeker chassis

and if anybody knows where they went post up. ( Ie. who bought them , why they closed and such. )

SRD (Pro Stock Pioneers)
Meng Chassis (Dragsters, Jet Cars)
Savage Clutches (My favorite logo of all time)

Did Zeeker morph into Arundel Chassis in Maryland?
