Holy crap!  That is very sad.  I'm guessing they all lost their jobs awhile back.  I wonder if any part of Crane got bought up?  I'm sure their competition didn't mind seeing them go.  Perhaps this is what should have happened to the banks!

They closed the doors a couple of months ago. Hope somebody can reopen them.

I wonder if one of the other cam manufacturers will pick up some of the items, but I have to wonder if they are all in the same situation financially speaking. They sure have a lot of equipment listed
70 Cuda, 7.0L Gen-III Hemi, Viper T56 w/9310 gearset, 3.91's, Megasquirt MS3x v3.57, Innovate wideband, Firm Feel upper arms, torsion bars, springs and strut rods, QA1 DA shocks. I did everything on this car except the fancy paint stuff and I drive it...and I can't seem to stop messing with it....
