You just never know what might show up at the Red Barn. Today, it was something REALLY special! Bill had his Speedster out for its longest shakedown drive and decided to stop over.
Talk about something you rarely see in the wild! Interior yet to do but I have to say, seeing the smile on Bill's face and the look in his eyes when he's in his car is just fabulous. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CebUB15Iqo |

Seriously. Just look at that chrome! And the paint! I get nervous just standing near the car.
Bill is quite the fab/machinist - he cut the mirror glass himself. Attached thumbnail(s)

Bill called the other day asking if I had any chunks of AL. I said I did and ran them over to his place.
"What do you need this for?", I asked. "I need to make some center caps for the mags. You can't get them anymore." A couple days later, this is what he's got. Simply amazing. Attached thumbnail(s)
