With the oil filter fixed, new spark plugs & leads, the carby kit in with no more fuel leaks and the startor motor repaired it was time for another long overdue drive....But just up and down the driveway!
He fires into life really well now and idles sweet but is still running a little rough when you take off, but the exhaust pipe wouldn't help to much as it a loud, rather short and coming thur a temp wired on no name muffler...But who cares and here is a very quick video that my daughter shot today...
In 1969 dad rescued this 1928 Chevrolet (10,485 original miles) off a Gippsland farm, he then stored it for a further 41 yrs in his workshop. A few months before dad was suddenly diagnosed with "AML Leukemia" in May of 2010 we spoke about getting it out of the shed, dads said "We'll get it running but we're not painting it all fancy". Sadly this never happened as dad passed away after a 6 week battle on 14th June 2010, I owe dad this restoration so here is my story of "Monty" our 1928 Chevrolet.
