I was able to get the vinyl top on, turn signals and brake/tail lights on, and go to a car show Saturday.

I also put about 20 miles driving around town Saturday/Sunday/Monday.

The interior is next!

Thanks RobShirleyAtlantaTX, I have a new filter screen and lead gasket for bulb. I plan to change out the existing fuel line (it’s copper now but will replace with SS brake line) when I do the filter and gasket. Also got some lube for petcocks from langs. I only have 1/4 tank to burn or drain remain...

I’m a little late with a reply and a thanks- This Kingston had a rubber tipped float needle, and it wasn’t seating right. I replaced the float needle and seat, and set the float height at 180 degrees on Saturday, and this motor is purring like a sewing machine. This case is closed! Thanks again - Br...

Thanks, that’s what I needed I guess. I have seen many different horns and just didn’t know which way to go

I cleaned, primed and painted 21 centerdoor...

Next is underbody inhibitor lube and reattach fenders and boards.

I have a 6v original buzzer horn, but it doesn’t tmhave the cap/cover over the coil- this thread below shows a horn like mine, just much cleaner. http://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages/822076/847243.html?1522028657 I’d like to find a cover for this, or I’d like to get the dimensions for this cover. I ...

Thanks Norm — this is what I need. I had this running in my garage 3 weeks ago for maybe 15 minutes. Like a dream everything was right. I’d just replaced the band liners over New Years and in this 15 min I went forward and backward as things should work, I confess I have never driven the T except fo...

This car had a vaporizer on it I plan to rebuild and reinstall— but I’d like to understand how the Kingston works before I rebuild the ivaporizer though.

Yep I wonder if that’s right. My tanks clean, using only sediment bulb, and a gas cock at the carb from langs. I’ve heard the newer Kingston’s needles are sensitive somehow- but I really don’t know enough yet to figure it out.. For sinking the float- how does the turning knob on dash Affect this? Do...

I am sure this has been covered, and for this question I apologize. I have a 21 centerdoor, i put a Kingston L4 on it. I have read over and over- give 1 - 3 turns on needle, adjust timing to max retard, and throttle to just over min fuel. with key off choke and crank a couple times to prime, flip th...

I’m coming up to the same project on a 21 centerdoor. The problem I have is I do not know the names of the parts I need. On the wood frame in window channel there was a fabric of some kind, and the steel frame around the glass seems to have had a fabric shell with wool or felt between this outer she...

Thanks Don. The pics from both cars helped a lot. I was able to pull only of the runners from right side to pattern tenons, and it should provide the right spacing from midline.

Cool story though this 21 also came with a ruckstell... so I have that going for me

IMG-1837.jpg Don, I have spent the last week reading this entire journey of yours. Thank you for sharing this restoration, it will provide this newb a fair roadmap~! I picked up a '21 c-door from my uncle last year, but only got it home in September. I have been looking at this car for nearly 40 ye...

I just gutted the inside of my 21 center door. There is an oak runner about 3/4” square along the deck, and again up firewall

Here are pics of left and right side, with one unobstructed view of the area in question on passenger side.
