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

No change in Radiator water level in last 8 months

The picture below has not changed since 2010, but I take a new one every so often.


The radiator level remains constant and I have not added water for at least the last 8 months.

The benefits of modifying a 28 Chev water pump with modern internals, that still looks very similar on the outside, combined with an overflow tank and a very low pressure sealed cooling system allow motoring in all temperatures with no concern about overheating or loosing water.

In addition by running a very low pressure system I can use modern coolant with anti corrosion additives.

I only would panic if I saw green water under the car.

Cheers

Ray
