I think this is the Doble Detroit with Abner's wife at the wheel? Source is AACA, don't know original source.

The Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupé set a new record in 2022, selling for a staggering $143 million and becoming the world’s most expensive car ever sold. A true one-of-one legend with a price tag to match. Just stunning.

More low drum work on the 1911 Model T.
Rivets are installed and then set with an air hammer. This can be done with a press or a ball-peen hammer as well.
Once the rivets are set, they're machined flush with the thrust surface of the gear and drum.

Draft booster motors
What do you do when you find out there is nothing out there even remotely similar? Obliviously you just make a batch from scratch.!

So the last hubcap is finally done for my Royale. "Finally" you are wondering? Its a hubcap, how much work can go in to that? ahahahahahahahaha. Well, when you have it rechromed and it won't fit anymore you have some work ahead of you. Check out my restoration thread on the Royale club site. Started it in 2014, its been going on for a while.

Taking your Peerless game to another level…
Okay Peerless guys. One of you need this, or (as a Packard guy) I might buy it and declare to people that I have two of the three P’s

Low gear drum in this 1911 Model T is overheated and cracked so the old drum needs to be separated from the gear and a new drum riveted on.
You can see the discolouration from overheating in the picture. This comes from slipping the low gear band by not being firm on the low gear pedal.
The new drums are heavier and able to handle overheating better.
The rivets are drilled through on the mill, rived heads are drilled out with a center drill and the body of the rivets are then knocked out with a punch.
Once the low gear shaft is out, it's chucked and indicated in the lathe. The low shaft is checked for runout and the old bushing is machined out.
More to come.

The American Racing Special, a relative of the American Speedcar, as seen in Amelia Island 2025. Shoes off with this fully restored racer. Yours truly behind the wheel. I love this stuff!
