My 1928 Chevrolet: Frame Off Restoration of a 59 Chev Belair in Belgium

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

Frame Off Restoration of a 59 Chev Belair in Belgium

I know its not a Vintage Chev, but I always love to see a frame off resto.

Below is part 1

Hello everyone, I am Chris from Belgium I am started the full restoration of my Chevy few weeks ago and I would like to share this work with you ;-) (sorry for my english it's not really perfect..)

Well, my chevy it's a 59 Belair 2 doors with 283ci V8 engine. I bought it in Germany in 2014, the car was imported from L.A. (she has a long history

)

The car is looking good but it's not in really great condition, the last paint job was (badly) made and there are a lot of rusty place.. I think they made this "bad" work only for selling
