Did anyone notice all of the 25/6 Chevy touring doors on E-bay right now? Are they the same as roadster? Someone could have a "lifetime "supply! thought of buying them myself.

 

Roadster and Tourer doors are the same.

I saw them I had thought about buying them but shipping to Australia is too expensive. Plus I can and have fabricated doors.

 

stolen pic

 

Anybody have a "25 Chevy roadster dash they can part with?

 

Pretty sure I have one. I moved to the mountains and the dash is at my shop in El Paso so if you can wait a week until I get back down there I can send a pic to make sure. Ron

 

Hi Ron, Sounds good .... let me know, Thanks, Jim

 

Steal some more! That is cool. I'd like to see more of that one. I wish I had that top.

 

Anybody notice the 1925 Buick roadster project for sale on Craigslist, Syracuse, NY ?

 

bump!

 

Was a local car


Posted before, I wish it were mine, local car again.

More local Chevs

 

This 25 Chev roadster body on A chassis just showed up on the TROG thread

 

Pretty sure the owners told me it was a '27. I wouldn't know otherwise.

 

Close, it is a '26, telltale sign is the short tulip panel and large decklid. '27 roadster were totally different around the deck.

Saw there was also a blue Chev track roadster at TROG.

 

Thats interesting info Jimmy.
So what you are saying is that my panels (see pic) are for a 1925 with the deeper 'tulip' panel. My boot lid drops just about down to gas tank cross member.

 

@Kume your 1/4 panels are '26 the tulip panel is '25.

'25 roadster boot

 

Jimmy how do the 25 and 26 quarter panels differ?

 

This was built by my late friend Max Knight, has been in his family since new. Now being taken care of by his daughter.

 

I like this one a lot, ain't mine but wish it was.
The only ones that I like better is Spurgin 25 roadster, S/G roadster and @JimmyB s S/G inspired build

I think he is a kiwi too

 

'25 has a bead along the tulip panel and beaver panels. Around the boot opening there is a real fine bead.

'26 has a small bead right along the edge of the boot opening

 

My old 35 Master roadster. Sorry for the grainy pic, it must have been taken some time in the mid eighties..... not an early roadster but I hope it fits in here...

 

Owner/builders of the '29 Chevys name is Skeeta.

@kiwijeff is that a first, last or nickname?

 

Maybe this is something for one of you:

Please ignore the RR part, it can still be saved and run with a dropped Chevy beam and 4 springs. The cool way, no need to cut the frame anymore! And definitely no need to go ford front end!!

Last link claims owner was gonna run it with a 302 Jimmy, that would be cool!

 

Here's one that is on eBay till Sunday. They say it is a '28 but Jimmy B taught us better. It raced a TROG this year.

 

@Kume, do you happen to have a pic of the bootlid? Does it line up with the Tulip panel?

 

That is such a cool old track roadster, definitely a '26 body though. It would be awesome to see the track nose recreated.

 

Is this the same car, or a clone!

 

Same car

 

Nice car!
Survivor or traditional build?
