Gidday,
Another email came through today from Ryan over in Mount Gambier, South Australia as over the weekend and also after the many long hours restoring his Dads Pontiac it was finally time to fire it up and have his first drive around the yard..
And the finished product below minus the hood and upholstery which Ryan said he is bringing it across to Melbourne next month for Grant White to fit out the interior and make a new top, I can highly recommend Grant's work as Monty's interior came up first class.. Great effort Ryan and family.
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.

1928 Chevrolet Gauges When Running Down The Road.
Gidday,
Just a quick post showing my the dials on the dash panel operating when out driving.
Comfy cruising speed 47ish mph
Engine oil pressure good at 10lbs
Trip meter shows 51.3 miles into a 154 mile run.
Total miles only from new shows 12,377
Cheers
