    Not a Hot Rod,But take a look anyway.It's a Canadian 1925 Chevy.Came to us in a pile.2 years letter,it's going home this weekend.All new wood, very nut & bolt.It was a fun car to rebuild. We do early Fords mostly.Cheers

    If you have no photo editing software you can open it in Microsoft Paint that is part of all versions of Windows and choose at the top tool bar- Image and then Stretch/Sqew which will open a dialog box that allows you to enter a horizontal and vertical percentage. If you want to shrink the image in half then enter 50% in each box and your image will be reduced by 50%. You then go back to the top of the page and choose File and then save and you are done.If you want to keep the original image intact then choose File and then (Save As) and enter a new name for the reduced picture and it will save a copy of the smaller image and leave the original intact.

    That's a great looking old Chevy!!!!

    Regardless if it is a restoration or not, you guys really turned out a very nice car there. Good craftsmanship is respected on all levels. Love it.

    Beautiful resto! Is the owner American or Canadian? Is there many differences compared to a US built car?
     
  16. That, my friend, is an extremely rare Mercury-bodied Chevrolet speedster... one of my personal favorites :)

    Thanks all.The owner is American.The difference is the grill shell is painted on Canadians and nickel on Americans .We went with nickel.And it was built in the frosen north.Some other small things. We're also do a 28 model A roadster pickup from there too. They come in pairs.
