Greg’s T project

[Houch]

Update. Talked with Nathan at Spirit this morning. They are going to have all the back-ordered parts this coming weekend and my kit will be ready to be picked up, however, my wife wants to go with me to pick it up to see Spirit Industries and Trinity Motors and she won't be able to go until May 11th so that is the scheduled pick-up date. Worked on my carbs cleaning them up and starting the rebuild. Couldn't finish them though because I ordered new accelerator pumps for them. Think they are going to look nice.

Are you using three carbs with active idle circuits on all or one primary carb with idle circuits and two dump carbs? The latter are easier to setup and pretty problem free to run long term. At least that is my experience with a tri power verses three deuces. Both setups are cool and work, but only one idle circuit is simple and more efficient, imho. Those Rochester carbs work well.

Using parts from Vintage Speed. Center carb is primary outer ones just dump carbs. I agree on the simplicity of this set up.

Picked the bucket up yesterday and got it unloaded this morning. Still waiting on front-end parts but they are shipping them to my house when they come in. Sat in my first T Bucket ever. Lol

Still waiting on the front-end parts to begin assembling the frame but still gathering parts and tinkering/working on it. Got taillights mounted. Got tires and front wheels. Waiting on the rears to be manufactured. Going with 26x7.50R 15 on the front with 6” Torque thrust on the front and 31x12.50R15 mounted on 10” Torque thrust on the back.

Mocked up gauges as well.

I like your style!

Slowly coming together. Each added piece increases the excitement.

I like the hinged bed lid. How does it latch?

I'm going to use earth magnets.
