Rest of 2018 - 1927 Chevy

Well - I have been asked a lot lately -  so I will just start out with - the button to donate some funds to help restore this 1927 is up and running - so hit that button as much as you like.


⇦👌👈 Yeah that button over there...................

Okay - so sometime in October it was time to get the truck ready for winter - drained the gas, took out the battery and pushed it up the ramp and into the garage for winter.  It was kind of sad to see the end of the year coming, but it was also a good time to concentrate on 2019.

So I took the horn, bottom windshield, driver side spotlight off and shipped them to my brother-in-law Eugene's house for some fixing during this down time.

I took off the steering wheel, carburetor and took all back panels apart so that I can fix those items during the winter break.  Currently I have the carburetor all repaired and ready for spring installation.  Still working on the steering wheel.  I took all the back wood panels apart, planed them down and currently working on sanding them, then it will be time to stain and urethane them so that by spring time they are looking nice. The goal has not changed - should be ready for Fort Edward Happy Days Parade at the end of June.

Here are some pictures of the awards/trophies won in 1994

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL AND THANKS FOR FOLLOWING. 

GOD BLESS YOU ALL IN 2019

Horn Works - Klaxon - 8C 6volts

Thanks to my brother-in-law Eugene and my Nephew Dave (good name) we got a lot of the electrical working on Sunday - 24 June.  I was in the house when I heard the distinct noise that brought me back to my submarine days - Dive - Dive - Dive - alright maybe not exactly the same - but still a good and distinct noise that got some neighbors out of the house to come over and inspect what was going on.    So - the horn has been working on and off - seems it works for like 3-4 blasts and then it stops.  So I took it apart and checked it out, cleaned what I could and put it all together. I didn't put it back in the truck because it is like 100 degrees outside today. Here are some of the pieces I was working on in the house with A/C. Information off the horn: Klaxon - 8C 6 volts Delco - Remy Corp. Anderson, IND. USA Holding the horn together - 6 bolts - 3/8 in. open end 2 bolts horn bracket to frame - 1/2 in.

No not the Band from the 70's. I think it stands for Keep it Simple - not sure what the last S is. Thanks Bob for becoming a follower. So yesterday, 17 April, I wanted to make sure the truck was going to continue to start on a regular basis - after all it should right - It has a rebuilt generator/regulator, starter and new starter button, battery cables, fresh gas and condenser.   Yeah - not so simple - it continued to backfire and not want to start.  I know if Jeffery was here he would say - its not getting gas, is there gas in the tank Dave? Keep it Simple Dave - yes there is gas in the tank - Jeffery, (why is Jeffery in my head and I am answering him?) Guess its time to call Eugene. He suggested I check the Vacuum Fuel Feed System Filter to make sure it wasn't clogged. Good call Eugene. Thanks for helping me Keep it Simple.... Put that all back together, but still not wanting to start. So I drained the gas from the tank, disconnec

Thursday, I took the truck down to the church - 3.1 miles one way - for a test run before I had to go for inspection on the 7th.  Worked great, still have some leaking oil, antifreeze and gas, but otherwise it ran good. On the 7th of June 2019, and after some horn issues getting worked out, I drove the truck to Monroe Auto Shop in Queensbury to get inspected.  I told the manager Mike that I would be there at 0730, but I arrived around 1030.  The shop was happy to see the truck and the inspection went well.  Thanks to my sister Kathy for following me the 7 miles - one way - I needed to go for the inspection.  There was a line of traffic behind us, but I don't think people cared.  People were waving and giving me the thumbs up - okay - I thought it was a thumbs up............. On the way home, I stopped by Randy's Barber Shop in Hudson Falls to show him the truck and got to talking with someone about the upcoming car shows.  Just need to give my baby a bath and some shin
