Hi.
I'm from Argentina. I have a 1928 Chevrolet two-door in very poor condition and the idea is to modify it to make a coupe. Therefore can anyone tell me the following measurements in inches or centimeters?. Thank you very much. Sorry for my poor English.

Welcome to Chatter.
The car pictured appears to be in too good a condition to modify.
Leave it as a 2 door and REPAIR anything that may not be as it should be.
Basically dont ruin a good car.

Going by his posting,he has a 1928 2 door Sedan or Coach,and what he has must be poor enough condition that he wants to change the body style to either a Business Coupe,or a Sorts Coupe.

The photo I post is not my car is a car I found on internet. I use it only to illustrate the measures. My car does not work more like the original car so I decided to rebuild their bodywork with a model I like. Sorry again for my poor English.

I understood that you wanted to replace the body with another that you fabricated. I have a '28 Coupe, unfortunately it is stored 120 miles away so I can't get measurements until maybe next week.

Sorry,
I knew there was something I was forgetting to do when I was there for a few hours last week. Should go back either later this week or early next week. Got to do more mowing.

I have your pictures with desired dimensions printed out. That will help me remember.

Ok Chipper!

Annoying you with some questions and hopefully for a long time not having to bother you again. There are 2 links to photos where I need the following:

In the link (Measurements of the rear cover for a COUPE. )

http://ebrestauraciones.com.ar/chev/image1.jpg


In the link (Measures the height of the curves of the rear cover on top and at the rear.)

http://ebrestauraciones.com.ar/chev/image2.jpg


Thank you very much. I hope your message. Sorry for my poor English.

DarioArg.

Sounds like it will be a neat project to undertake. Post some photos here when the project is completed.

It will be a pleasure. Thank you.
I work with other vehicles, you can see them in www.ebrestauraciones.com.ar

The 1928 Chevrolet coupe is a personal project which already has 10 years of waiting. It's time to get to work.

Greetings.
