The McBeths 1927 Chevrolet Four I am Told that when everything is quiet on the weekend In the local vicinity where John and Robyn McBeth live The sounds of a 1927 Chev can be heard as it takes another lap around the block. Neighbours and relatives queue in line for a joy ride And Robyn is heard Giggling over the sound of the rattling of the engine as the Chevrolet scoots merrily around the block… "That's what I am Told" But as the author of this article denies having written it, and the Editor denies printing it. Who will ever know. |
|
The McBeths have been pretty busy, and the smell of 'Dandelion Yellow' paint could well be in the air, as it seems the Chev is not destined to remain anything else but a bright and cheerful machine. No dull colours for this little lady. John is pleased with the way the Chev handles, but I suspect that he should be, He put it all together. |
|
John constructed a stand so he could work on the wheels in comfort, he says the two front wheels were almost perfect. A little tightening of the shims, and a new set of drums for the rear wheels from Sydney. |
|
A coat or two of paint, and the whole set were ready to roll |
|
The construction of the tray is already underway, and The McBeths have some external construction ply and varnish in the shed ready to complete this section. It will not be too long before we will see John and Robyns 1927 Chevrolet Four on its first rally. |
