I am now 100% committed to lowering the radiator 3". Ha [IMG] [IMG] I trimmed the forward-facing portion of the cross member to make it flat...
I'm not sure if this is the same car. The VCCA Speedster Club has this posted on their site with the name of D. Perry from Australia. See here:...
They should be fine. They're grade 8 and the holes were drilled for them, so they fit snugly. I really wanted to use rivets, but I'm just not...
Wow. I can’t believe I haven’t posted for over two months… I’ve been busy with work, younger cars, the prospect of buying another house… Anyway....
I appreciate that. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!
I've been fooling around with getting the running board brackets and rear cross member off of the '28 frame. [img] [img] [img] [img] I've...
You're a good sport, thank you.
I meant to followup with you. I don't think I will be needing that cross member after all. Would you like me to still send some money for your...
Alright, so my dad and I made another trip to dig through that barn and managed to fill the truck again. The big score was a stripped 1928...
Not a lot of progress has been made, but I did score some parts over the weekend. My father and I spent the day going through a barn, digging...
I don't think so. Between my grandfather and I, we have like 7 or 8 Chevy four cylinder engines and tons of spare parts. In fact, I may buy a '28...

After days of messing with it, I finally got the rear axle apart. The wheel flange plates on the rear wheels would not come off the wheels. I...
I believe they have a file. I hope to take the touring to the 60th anniversary meet in Bowling Green next July and have it judged. Those will be...
You're the man! Thank you! A couple of you asked to see my '26 Touring, so here you go: It was found in a barn in 1956, buried in a basement...
My grandfather broke his driveshaft doing the same thing. Just pulled away while in traffic and BAM! I saw that. I just replied to you.
That's incredibly nice of you! Thank you! Do you have PayPal, Venmo, ect? DM your info and I'll send you some cash for shipping. I paid a local...
That looks to be very similar to what is on my chassis. Is that something that you would willing to sell? [IMG] The frame came back from the...
Wow! It's great to see so much enthusiasm here for my Chevy project. I'll have an update to share tomorrow.
Thank you for confirming what I already had suspicions about. There were too many things that said this was a '26 and not a 27. It's titled as a...
Hey everyone. My name is Brian and I am in the beginning stages of building a 1920’s-1930’s era speedster from a 1927 (actually 1926) Chevrolet...
