I’m still annoyed it’s not an actual functioning blower with a bypass reed valve on the back of the housing - instead being a blower sitting on the 351 Clevo with a low-rise manifold and low-rise air cleaner.

There’s not much choice in terms of additional patina given the ‘museum’ is just a shed in a semi-arid landscape.

The Silverton Pub (just around the corner) is f or sale again. 2.5 million dollars
