Classic 1920s Garage

Adding the optional door

	The door consists of two parts. Remove the adhesive backing from the front panels (shown on top here) and press it down on the larger rectangular piece. Make sure you line up the bottom of both parts, and the smaller panel is generally centered left and right.
	The door assembly will be glued to the back of the wall, so apply some glue to the sides and top of the larger rectangle, as shown here.
	Finally glue the door assembly to the back of the wall. Make sure the bottom of the door lines up with the bottom of the wall.
	Once the glue on the door has dried enough, install the trim on the outside of the wall. Take your time to make sure the trim is aligned well before you press it into place.
	The side trim for each wall fits the entire side. But the optional door requires you to cut the trim piece to fit. Choose the correct trim piece for the side where you installed the door, then cut it twice to place the trim on each side. You'll want to cut it so the edge away from the door (the right side here) lines up with the slot rather than the end of the wall to leave room for the trim that will hide the joints.

Adding the garage door

The kit comes with two different garage doors: a tri-fold door that was a premium option in the 1920s, or an overhead hinged door that was often used to replace original doors. You can also choose to build the tri-fold doors either in the closed or open position.

Instead of showing all the options, we'll just show installing the tri-fold doors in the closed position.

	Like the optional door, the garage door is built with two layers. The back layer contains the windows, and also scribe lines etched where you can cut if you want to build the tri-fold doors in the open position. Remove the adhesive backing from each door panel, then carefully press it into place using the etched lines as an alignment guide. Pay special attention to how the window frame fits around the window to ensure you have equal spacing on all sides between the frame and the window.
	The walls and doors were a little warped after we painted them with a brush (a good reason to use an airbrush or paint both sides). Placing something flat and a weight (a glass with water) on top while the glue dries will ensure the door is glued on all sides.
	Once the glue has dried, remove part of the adhesive backing from the door (or all if you like) and press the window glass to the back side.

Wall assembly

	Glue the four sides together. If your walls warp you can use rubber bands on the top and bottom to hold the walls flat as the glue dries. You can also use the grid lines on a cutting pad to make sure the walls are square while the glue dries.
	There are two beams that extend all the way through the garage. Place these beams into the slots on each end as shown. These may be a press fit, so you may choose not to glue them in place.
