"Monty" - The 1928 Chevrolet: Resto - Timber spoke wheels

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.

Resto - Timber spoke wheels - brake drum buffed up

With a few hours spare on this lovely spring Sunday afternoon, I got straight to work with the grinder in buffing up the 4 x brake drums ready for a paint with etch primer and then a black top coat like the chassis, here's my handy work.
