Brian you are doing great work on your Speedster. I would like to come and see the progress you have made later this spring if possible. I am interested in the the "strap" shock setup you are doing. I have a full set of Delco strap shocks in the barn and could possibly look to put them on my '28 Speedster.
Again great work.

You're welcome to stop by sometime. You've been here before to visit with my grandfather, John Irvin, haven't you?
A few years ago I received an email from Dean - VCCA Rustoholic about a '28 buried in a hillside. I just could not let it go to the scrap yard so I took it home.
With the help of fellow VCCA members and eBay it all came together.

Sweet project. I just found this site this weekend while building my ”˜26 speedster. I’ve build a lot of the body and took the motor and transmission out this past weekend. I have the motor out but can not separate them. Not sure how to get them apart. Any help would be appreciated.
Hello cruiserboy, Welcome to the VCCA Chat Forum. So just where are you trying to take the engine and transmission apart? These older engines do not come apart where their more modern counterparts do. Your questions would be best placed in the 1912 to 1928 4 cylinder forum. Art
Cruiserboy to my knowledge (I am not familiar with the 26 model) most Chevs prior to 1946 the gearbox detatches from the bell housing, then remove clutch and flywheel to access some of the bellhousing to block bolts that hide behind the flywheel. Tony
Thanks for the info. I’ll post in the other section so I dont take away from the build post that is going on here. I have the motor, bell housing, flywheel cover and gearbox out of the vehicle and for some reason just cant separate the gearbox and flywheel cover from the motor. I’m thinking it may be rusted in place.
Didn't see the other post so will reply here. The transmission is bolted to the clutch housing and then the housing is bolted to the engine block. Beginning in 1931 the transmission could be removed leaving the clutch housing attached to the engine block.
Brian Nice progress, Ive just dropped my diff off to be realigned with Billy posssum axels and tails shaft, using the 27 crown wheel n pinion to get higher ratio, Hope to have the car rolling by the end of next week. Ray
