I was shown how to hand crank Monty once by a gentleman just around the corner from our house who has a lovely old 1930's restored truck but only when the motor was already warmed up have I since pulled the hand cranked over which it starts and fires into life quite easily.
Not like this bloke in the video below but I do think about this happening to me just when I am about to pull it over.... Not Fun!!
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.
