Steve the proprietor of "Warragul Exhaust" arrived with his very smart looking trailer to collect and take the chev back to his workshop to start on the installation of one brand new stainless steel exhaust system so gone forever will be that bloody loud "straightout" pipe that has been annoying the neigborhood for the last few months and in its place will be the lovely old-fashioned sounding "meat n potatoes meat n potatoes" note of the vintage era, it should be interesting to hear that sweet old motor run......
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.

Well today was the first time in 44yrs that ole Monty final left Trafalgar, and yes although it was on the back of a trailer, a trip is a trip after all :)

Monty looks great with a bit a shiny checker plate under it.... I might have to look into that and do something about it, like some checker plate running boards down each side :)
