While the Holley Shiftwell with Screen seems like a nice new addition … It’s actually super nice – thanks for the open photos, “John H.” They could’ve taken the lazy route and just slapped up a blue piece of plastic and said, “well, the screen is off,” but instead, they actually imprinted the actual scene […]
