Hi, We bought a C Cab in 1984 in Whittier CA. We had no idea what it was when we bought it and were only looking for something inexpensive to ride in the desert. It had been in storage in the desert by Randsburg CA until 2011. In 2012 I brought it back to South Dakota where I now reside. It is almost done being restored. We didn't go with the yellow that Barris had, but with a color that we enjoy. I will post some photos once I figure out how to do it.

Hi guys,

I'm restoring a T Buggy (with C-cab top) and am wondering if you might be able to help me figure out how to find some missing parts.

I don't have any bumpers. I've heard that they are Model T, or A bumpers, but don't know what length they are. Any ideas for a source on them?

I also need the entire latch/handle assemblies for the rear doors. Do those of you who have them see any brand, or model numbers on them?

My Buggy is also missing the Kason hinges for the side (faux) doors. I read on this thread that the side hinges had no offset, but the car looks like it should have 1/8" offset hinges, because there's no raised area where the hinge attaches to the body, while there is a raised area on the door part. Does that sound right?

One last question, did you guys ever get a T Buggy registry going?

I appreciate any info you may have.

Thanks!
Dave
