Wwwwoooowwww.... I'm stunned. If for no other reason than I grew up with "Crane Cams" in my vocabulary, those decals were on old 70s Super Stockers on my walls. Wow. :(

I got a buddy/customer here that works for them in Daytona. Haven't talked to him in a little while. I guess it looks like he "worked" for Crane Cams now.

Wow, that's a bummer (especially too bad it wasn't Comp instead :-P ) but I fear we will see a lot more of this kind of closure, whether or not it is ever officially admitted that we are in a depression.

At one time they talked about opening a plant in Ft.Myers. They couldn't find enough skilled people, or enough people that could pass a drug screen.

:cry: My best FE builds were with Crane. Great tech, and outstanding products.

Bummer.
