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

New Batteries Installed

Fitted 2 of these bad boys, should be trouble free now for the next 4-6 years?


Since the 90's when I installed the twin battery set up I have been using a common 6 volt truck battery that is also used in Walkie Stackers , and at $170 AUD each they are a reasonable price.


The two thinner cables at the bottom of picture are for the concealed in floor charging point, no lifting floor boards to charge the battery

Pulled them out today new ones hopefully will be installed tomorrow 14th March 2020
