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

Kev's 1928 Chev Restoration - 2nd Session

 Another 4 productive hours on a Sunday Morning.

- Front wheel Bearings and Grease seals fitted

- Front wheels back on after 4 plus years

- Brake cross shafts were a struggle getting the new spherical bushes lined up, a bit of cursing, head scracthing followed by a few precise hammer blows won out on the day.

A few pics below ( next session to be the steering box)
