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

Red Chev Finally Wakes Up After COVID

 Apart from a few blockies and warm up in the shed every few weeks, the Red Chev kept a low profile during COVID

With an outing today to show a mates daughter the Red Chev for her upcoming wedding I spent yesterday doing a full wash, polish and detail.

Arriving home after the 30K round trip today, there was a small fuel leak in the carby needle and seat.

So after a carby strip down, rebuild with new gaskets and Needle and Seat, all is good.

Finished up with an oil change.
