My 1928 Chevrolet: Day 40 - 28 Chev Ute Restoration (29th August 2015)

The purpose of this Blog

This blog is to detail my 50 years (1973 - 2023) with a 1928 Chevrolet tourer, affectionately called "The Red Chev".

The acquisition, restoration, improvements and my experiences over the years are covered in as much detail as I can remember.

Some of the later postings include car club outings and other vintage car items that I hope will be of interest to people.

If you have the time, scroll back to where it all began in 1973 and follow the journey so far.

Thanks for dropping by.

Regards Ray Dean

Day 40 - 28 Chev Ute Restoration (29th August 2015)

A couple of jobs on the go today, the ongoing preparation of the chassis prior to painting in the next few days, being the main task.

I pulled some wheels and rims out of the molasses bath after a month's soaking, pressure washed and gave a wipe over with rustbuster, followed with a couple of dash panels that I am restoring for Terry (Matilda the 28 Chev).
