I didn’t even realize I was missing these until I saw them on that maroon sedan at the round up. Are they hard to find? I’m pretty broke right now but if you guys say I should buy them I guess I’ll have to. Thoughts?

The new door taking shape

 

Temporary bracing gone, and this is the start of the permanent stuff.

 

And the latching mechanism

 

The burst proof locking mechanism. With door closed the body lines match up perfectly, tho the guy doing the work is saying its more work than he anticipated, as he wants it perfect. Hes doing a great job.

 

Heads up for @Jimmy B or anyone else this ebay seller (choppsshopjg) has a ton of 20’s chevy parts

Stock 34 roadster and beautifully restored RHD Fisher bodied 38 cabriolet. There was a 1928 phaeton that was driven all the way to Tasmania (2,300klm) when the owner retired there in 2018. He then drove it all the way back here for the show and is heading back home again.

The 33 PU was still LHD as was a 31 5 passenger coupe and a 31 coupe.

Im in parts collecting faze for my 32 and i gotta brag to somebody. I just scored some minty fresh nos 903-j’s with just some shelf wear
Today was a good day....

 

Im droolin over this from a 2009 post......

Hey @mickticulus , any updates?

 

Been collecting parts for my '26 Chevy roadster for too many years. I know how it feels to make a score like that.

 

I made some progress on it, however as many lives go marriage, children, a business, and easier projects took priority over the roadster.
Good news is my kids are now nearing teenage status, time is more abundant, I'm wrapping up a muscle car build, and my 13 YO daughter is on me to get working on the 'coolest car ever'. So, its time to blow the dust off!

 

Niiiiiice! I know i got 3 kids......

Heres my roadster, its lacking a lil bit

 

Fifty one years ago I was dreaming of having a Chevy 6 powered, high wheeled, 1920s racer styled car. I'm finally working on it, but it is a 31 roadster instead of the dirt track car. I mocked the car up and realized how tall it was and that it needed to drop a lot. I'm going to do a 3" drop in the 51, 1/2 ton front axle, but I was wondering if anyone has placed the axle above the springs and if they had problems with it. I'm down to the frame now and am ready to start the rebuild. The 261 is backed by a 47 truck bell housing, 39 transmission, and I have a 39 rear axle, which needs the torque tube & drive shaft cut and welded. The frame cross member, at the back of the motor, will have the center section removed and 1/4" steel plate replacing it, for clearance. I'm keeping the Lovejoy shocks and will add front and rear roll bars. I'm a long way from worrying about the wood, but I plan to use a wood body frame.

 

Here's some photos of progress to date.

 

The axle on top of the springs was done quite a bit. Other than frame and old pan clearance I don't see problems. I am thinking of the same thing for my '26. Mt thought is to remove the bolt pad from the top of the axle and put one on the bottom. The drums on the '49 or so pickup axles fit the early Chevy wire spoke wheels. Mine are 19".

 

Just thought someone here would be looking for a COMPLETE 1934/1935 Chevy Standard 107 inch W.B. Rolling Chassis! Also Fits 1935 Standard! Inline 6 Engine and Drive Train, Steering, Brakes, 6 Wire Wheels & Tires, Gas Tank AL running and driving, Plus Extra Boxed Parts Included, All Gages, Switches, full wire harness! Brand New Carter W-1 Carburetor and New Carb Rebuild Kit Total $350 Value! All has been rebuilt and restored in 1993.
$3,500 For the Complete Package! Could easily get double that money if parted out and well worth more that way!
