Well when your done with it you can call it any year that you like. None the less a cool project. My son/n/law and I built a 38 dodge truck turned roadster with a little 56 chrysler back half thrown in, a 38 ford frame , and a 51 buick dash just for grins.  and the damn thing goes high tens through the quarter mile. What fun this hobby is.

Even more fun to take a trip out to Denver and get a ride in it like I did!  Had a smile from ear to ear

Thanks again, Coco, i been workn on getting the body off today. All good to go, just need a couple of guys to help lift it of now. Had my engineer buddy around this morning to look at it, so he can get an idea of what needs doing, for a steel subframe. Heres a pic of the engine number.

Jeff, I think that is the casting number.

The engine number is stamped on a pad on the right side of the engine just to the rear of the fuel pump.
It should read something above M 4864097, which was the start number that year.

                                                                        Its just gone three in the afternoon. Things dont move to fast round my neck of the woods. Ive done two hours on the roof, after a visit to the autowreakers, supermarket, and just had a three hour lunch with an old girlfriend Now i waiting for my flatmates to arrive home, (im a caregiver to a four year old, my flatmates daughter) and i'll sqend the next hour and a...   

[Kiwijeff]

(ran outa room   ) half preping the evening meal, and hanging out with the worlds coolest four year out, whos just walked in with green paint, all over her face. I will get to my uncles after that. Its a nice sunny Autum day here, and i will also post up the engine number. Just another quite day in paradise

[Kiwijeff]

I snapped a pic of what i think is the engine number, but dont think its very clear. Number is M R 5 I I 9 0 5 5.

[cocobolo]

That's it, matches correctly for a 1935.  Welcome to my favourite year Chevy! 

[Kiwijeff]

Cheers Coco. Now we have everything correct, i thought id share a pic of what was gassing up, the same time as i was this morning. Aaron, one of my old custmers is heading to The Beach Hop, in the North Island. Not even sure what type of car this is. Cant provide a link, but if you google Beach Hop, New Zealand, you can check out one of our largest car events, happening right now.

My buddy, Mo came around yesterday, hes found me a front end (which i dont need) a set of diff gears, that i need, as the car came with none, hence why the back wheel may look like its on an angle in some pics, a spare engine, and a spare wire wheel. He got all this for two boxes of beer. Cant wait to see if the stuff is the correct year. I mentioned my 80 year old uncle was rebuilding the canoe, that my Dad had built for me as a kid. Im blown away at the job hes doing, only about 20% of original boat left. It got me thinking that if he was in better health, i could have got him to redo the Chevys woodwork, rather than steel it out. Heres a pic of my Uncle Rob, with my canoe.

  This is really cool!

Thanks Trbomax, ive had some fun today with the 35. I will let the pics do the talking

[TFoch]

If he can rebuild a canoe he can fix any wood problems you have in the 35

                               It would be great to do that Tom, but his health isnt to good, and i didnt expect him to be well enough to get the canoe done. I think steel would be more of a safer option with our cert laws as well. Heres what ive been doing. Did this just for fun, as i wont use this engine.
