It is a funny lookin' thing, but i remember seeing a lot of things that looked like that, fifty years ago or so. Somebody saw a picture of a Howard GMC manifold in a magazine, and said to himself, "I can do that." And he did . . . sort of. He had the skills and the tools to make something he wanted out of what he had to hand, and the courage to try it out and learn from it. Several people who became famous and died full of honor started out in just that way, making what they needed to do what they wanted. They learned by doing, and we have learned from what they did, including especially their mistakes.
If we knew the history of that piece and the person who made it, the story might turn out to be truly interesting. Surely he was an Inliner!
God's Peace to you.
