I am on Project #45 a Guards red VS super wide body 1915cc motor with 8k miles on it. I don't own a speedster long enough to enjoy it but for whatever reason I actually insured and tagged it yesterday. Today I fixed a minor oil leak, set the carbs and timing, cleaned it and off I went. What a super nice ride this one is, we'll bring it to Carlisle and put it up for sale in late June...Someone will soon get a very nice VS.

Good on you Alan, what a great looking car.
Yeah, but THIS is gonna be his LAST build!
Glad you’re still having fun building, Al.
it keeps you young.

My last Pennsylvania speedster build was... three speedsters ago :~)
This VS was an easy fix up and minor paint work.
Nice job!
Am I crazy or didn't you already have that up for sale?
Had it for sale during the winter, had a few things to it, if there was interest I would then spend a day finishing it.
It looks very similar to the red one you had years ago. You were always sad to see that one go IIRC. Keep it Al, for once in your life.

Oh OK, at least I'm not crazy (yet). I assumed you had sold it.
Connie and I did 70 miles today in the West Virginia mountains with excellent results and a pleasure to drive too..... It's ready for Carlisle.
......and I am done and ready a full 4 weeks before Carlisle a first in my book ~
Keep it through September and join us in the mountains, Alan.

The mountain trip is being seriously considered.......

I would expect nothing less, Alan. 
As they say, be there or be square...we’ll be looking for you.
