The Patterson flat was not a TOO although it was built years after the flat head and Chevy powered 266 hydros.

The 392 hemi in the flat was built by Vic and Meeks as well.

We installed and maintain the AC at the Edelbrock's shop, and I never heard anybody refer to it as a "museum" any more than Jay Leno's place
Hot Rod Magazine called it a Museum back in 2000. http://www.hotrod.com/thehistoryof/edelbrock_museum/
But who would listen to them. When I found the boat the documents I saw called it a museum as well. I still have the letter of authenticity from Bill Ritner stating that the boat which was later restored back to the WaWa too was that boat originally. Incidentally that is the same boat that is my Avitar over on the other site.
