Jailbreak

Salt Tractor

This one has Rob’s name all over it. Jack Donahue’s Ford 8N land speed tractor “8Ncredible.” Post NASCAR career Jack decided to set a flathead powered tractor speed record - 101.169.

Road Worthy T

Rob and I ran into this Model T roadster at the Steam Show a few weeks ago. I loved how subtly it was setup tone a driver. Check out the electric fan and disc brake conversion. Cool car.

Moto Mall

During a recent business trip to Mexico City I stumbled across this motorcycle/scooter shop in the mall! All Italian brands (Moto Guzzi, Aprilia, Vespa). Way higher end stuff than you typically see the Mexican Uber Eats guys riding around everywhere.

Junkyard Phantom

From Seattle Speedometer's Instagram. This 1925 Rolls Royce Phantom was abandoned in a New Jersey junkyard in the 1950's. Those early Rolls were shockingly ahead of their time. 25 years later they were apparently considered garbage.

Time Capsule

From Offenhauser's Instagram. Check out this '37 Ford drag car time capsule. I've never seen one of those finned water pump housings before. Pretty cool.

Royal Signals Motor Cycle Display Team - RIP

The legendary Royal Signals Motor Cycle Display Team performed their last show after 90 years this past weekend. The UK Ministry of Defense proclaimed them too "old fashioned" and will no longer be scheduling bookings.

If you've never seen footage of the Team before the speed at which they perform their drills makes them unique. For decades the famous "White Helmets" had a close association with the Triumph factory and often members were factory laborers, engineers and test riders like Hughie Hancox.

Narrowed

My brother Rob restoring a motorcycle trailer that Forsberg Indian used to haul race bikes back in the early 1940's. Most of the trailer is built around an early Ford leaf spring, radius rod front end and wheels. As a result he is also opting to use car/truck fenders. Rob found some suitable fenders but they are clearly esthetically too wide. 

We decided to narrow them by 2". He has a lot of finish work to do but so far I'm really stoked with the way they are coming out.
