  1. Great work Jeff. The machined crank looks so much better than some of the burnt-out originals we looked at. Thanks for the ongoing updates. Cheers, Peter
  2. The car in question is a 1920 Stutz Series H Roadster. Same mechanicals (engine and drivetrain) as the red Bearcat pictured above but with a slightly longer chassis and slightly wider body. It still had the side shifter/handbrake but this is located inside the body tub. Curiously, the location of the shifter/handbrake makes the drivers door somewhat useless. The year of this Stutz Roadster can be somewhat zeroed-in as the 1919 Stutz range were equipped with Rudge wire wheels. This car has Buffalo (Houk) wheels which were used in 1920 and beyond. Also, in 1921, exterior door handles were added to all Stutz Tourers and Roadsters. The car looks to be well used and is missing its externally mounted horn and top clamps.
  3. Stainless Revival, I have sent you a private note looking for help to retrieve my parts from Paul's shop. Anything you could do to help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
  4. Hupmobile Model 20 1909-10. This is the early straight axle variant whereby the wheel hubs are secured by tapered pins. In mid-1910 they shifted to a tapered axle with retaining nut.
  5. Remy Electric coil.... early Chevrolet 4 cylinder
  6. I retract my "definitely 1925-26 Chevrolet Superior K or V". They sure do look like a match for the restored Hupp in the photo. This style of fender was very common to many cars early-mid twenties. Glad to see you have a solid lead on your car now. If you can find a rolling chassis or cut down tourer (ute), you will have the bones for a great restoration project.
  7. This is helpful, thank you Bob and Pughs. Can anyone advise where on the chassis the number would be stamped? Regards, Peter
  8. Front and rear fenders (mudguards for those in OZ) and headlight tie bar are definitely 1925-26 Chevrolet Superior K or V. Bit hard to see the chassis from the pictures but it could be late 1926 Chevrolet Superior V model. The body is not Chevrolet.
  9. Sorry, I missed this guys.... no other excuse than I have been target fixated on my 1920 Stutz of late. Thanks for sending the document on Steve.

    Sad News

    Sorry to hear this news. It is sad when such stalwarts of the hobby leave us. Thanks for letting us know.
  11. Looking for some technical assistance please. My 1920 Roadster has a large (horse shoe shaped - see photo attached) exhaust cutout incorporated in the exhaust piping. Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be any mechanism to open or close the cutout flap. I note that similar 16 valve Stutz cars have a button on the floor, next to and similar in design to the starter button, that activates the cutout. I am hoping someone might be able to provide some photo's of their car and the mechanisms (levers and rods, etc?) that activate the exhaust cutout flap. Any assistance would be very welcome. Thanks, Peter
  12. Thanks Dan, appreciate the suggestion. Peter
  13. OK Jim and David, let me look into this. I will come back to you. Regards, Peter
