The Jalopy Journal
Thank you, I fitted the 49 jets and 3.5 power valves along with the 'new' matching body. It still runs rich. So still some sorting out to do. It...
Thank you for your help. My new (old) early style carb body arrived yesterday. I will fit it tomorrow. I have already got a set of 49 jets and 50...
Thank you I'm glad you like the car. Got to be short to drive it though!. As for the exhausts, I fitted motorcycle baffles into the pipes two...
Thank you for your reply, it made me take a closer look at what I thought to be two identical carbs. As you said one has a larger Venturi. This...
I created an interior for the car by buying two front seats and a rear seat from eBay. These originated from an old Austin. I cut the rear seat...
These links plug into one of the three holes in the throttle bracket. My understanding is that depending on what hole you put the link in you can...
[ATTACH] I hope this is not something that has been covered elsewhere, I have looked but have not found the relevant information. So my question...
So here are a couple of photos of some details I included on the T. I chose these tail lights because I wanted something a little different I...
Thanks again for the positive comments about the roadster. It drives really well. I can't wait for summer. I am finishing a few things over...
I couldn't have finished it without help from people on here. Particularly you. The information you gave me in regard to the T sections and deck...
[ATTACH]This shows the stainless steel petrol tank. Inside the trunk. Still a reasonable amount of space in the trunk.
The car drives really well, I have no issues, of course it rattles and bangs, but it has no "death wobble" and it steers and corners great. The...
Thank you, I'm glad you like the car. As you have seen I made the body along with almost everything else apart from the engine, gearbox, axles and...
Thank you it's really nice to see so many people who have been keeping up with my build and offering words of encouragement and advice still on...
Ian, thank you for the kind words. I will be at every event I can get to in the future so hopefully we will meet again soon.
Thanks to everyone who commented. I will post more soon. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Can't wait Phil. Roll on summer.
I finally got it on the road in the middle of last summer. I couldn't get it to run right and couldn't venture far for most of the summer but put...
Hello again. It's been a while. I had a lot happen over the last few years. Without boring you with my problems, I was put in a possition where I...
Thank you so much for your reply confirming I was correct. I was lucky enough to be given some pieces of the T section. (Thanks again Phil) but...
Thank you for being so helpful again Mike. That is a great help. I really appreciate you going the time and trouble to put up photos to help me.
I need a bit of help. This is regarding the T section trim pieces that run down the turtle deck from top to bottom on each side of the trunk. I...
Great to know some people are coming back. That's you, me and a couple of others I have noticed. Thanks for the comment. I will post some more asap.
That's my plan if I live long enough. Use the original T body I have on an A chassis. 'A' axles low and perhaps a straight six engine. Pipe dream...
Thanks glad to see you are still on the board. I should have done an A framed modified. When I first planned this car almost forty years ago I...
The next job is to get the turtle deck in one piece and fitted in place. Here is a photo of the two side panels. The turtle deck is as much work...
So I then fitted the other side door. [IMG] [IMG]

To all you other guy, thanks so much for taking the time to read my thread and for taking time to reply. Its good to know its being read and is of...
Thanks for the question. First I made a buck, then I wheeled the shape into the panel. Next I put the beads into the panel then formed the flanges...
