Chris Barber’s Maserati V6 Motorcycle Project is Underway Once Again
It was almost four years ago when I first wrote about the beginnings of Chris Barber's Maserati V6 project. I hadn't heard much about it since, but Chris dropped me a note saying he, too, had taken a break, but he's back at it now and I'm really happy to hear it because this is a great build.
