1928 Chev Roadster @ Muroc 1938

I have a chance to purchase a 28 roadster body for my 28 Chev roadster chassis that I now use just for fun to drive around my farm. I have a few questions that I would like answered before I buy the very ruff roadster body.

Q1- Are 28 Chev roadsters rare?

Q2- 1938 Muroc or any other dry lake in the early era, did a 28 Chev roadster compete and are there any photos?

Q3- Are there any detailed instructions or photos available to aid in building a roadster body when the wood is removed?

A1. yes they are rare but not expensive.

A2. Yes Ak Miller ran a '28 with his brothers.

A3. To be era correct the wood should be retained/renewed. if it will be covered then using box steel is acceptable and is what I did with my '25 (not really era correct but that is ok)

'28 these pics are from 1940.


'29


and a '25

 

Thank you for the pictures and information Jimmy B, It seems as a FNG I don't have the old school tie? I will not be adding my 2 cents worth on any thread any time soon just to get my numbers up. Ford Farming

 

Kinda OT, but didn't Garlits "first dragster to go 180 mph" use 28 Chevy rails?
