Re: Nearest Find

My 2 nearest finds  were a Jensen 51 from a local craigslist ad that was delivered to my door by the owner. 2nd was a jensen 5 riveted boiler at a local antique shop, fifteen miles from my home. Keep in mind where i live- everything is at least 15 miles away..I also was given an early Wilesco engine from my brother in law and next door neighbor a few years ago. It was in terrible condition. I offered it free to any forum member who thought it could be restored. I don't remember who got it, but i do remember them sending me photos of it some time later in it's beautiful restored condition.
