Re: My 1927 Model T Coupe Restoration
Really nice! Be sure after you install the radiator and coil box to try to start the engine and get any bugs or etc taken care of. It’s a lot easier to get it all tuned up with the fenders off the car and everthing is easy to get to. Keep up the great work.

Nine coils came with the T when I purchased it in 1954. Eight of the coils tested OK for restoration. I had the "Coil Man" restore five and the other three will be kept for future restoration if needed.

Re: My 1927 Model T Coupe Restoration
On the coilbox, you may want to swing your #1 & #4 sparkplug wire terminals away from the coilbox mounting arms.
This is getting exciting!

Just a photo of the horn that came with the T when I got it in 1954. I have been told it is not a Ford T horn, but I like the sound.

I would strongly encourage you to put a fuse in the positive line going to the switch.

Some photos to update the restoration. Carb heat pipe and engine.
Re: My 1927 Model T Coupe Restoration
It's looking like a car! Looking fabulous, it reminds me of when I restored my 26 Coupe back in 1980-81. Mine needs refreshing after 42 years.
