COE New to me 1941 Dodge COE

I have the front half of my frame done, engine detailed and back in. Just waiting on finishing the firewall before I set the cab back on.

 

How are you going to get to the engine?

 

My floor is in a couple sections, smaller dog house which fits under the seat opens as well. Used a steer clear unit for the steering

 

I like the steering set-up, looks very clean!

 

Thanks.
Just waiting to get my dash and firewall painted then i can get the cab back on the frame.

 

Slow down , your making the rest of us tired . Looks real good and I too like the stearing .

 

Just a few updates

 

looking freakin awesome, HR!!!

 

HOT DIGGITY
the truck is looking good, man!
like that color. what is it?

and that steer clear is the big ticket solution!
most guys don't want to dig that deep, but that gets it done!

The dash/firewall are a pewter color off a late model dodge truck. Not really sure what color to use on the exterior yet

 

This is what I'm working on for the bed. It's a 2011 Dodge Ram bed narrowed and will try to modify the fenders for the rear. That are 1939 Plymouth car fenders

 

Need to roll the whole front edge of the bed and will lose the body line and drop the lower edge down to meet the running board that will tie it together

 

That's looking great, very nice work. See you down the road somewhere.

 

Still working on the bed. Took 23" out of the center. Still need to fill the tail lights and make a roll pan and get the fenders to work. Will also remake the lower box sides to lose the body line and meet up with runing boards[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]

 

Looking GOOD !

 

Drove it outside for the first time. Still looking for a hood ornament. The big dodge front emblem and a few grill bars

 

It was nice to know it starts steers and stops

 

congrats!!!

 

Gotta a little work done on the bed

 

Wow, that's *****in!

 

Thanks. Kinda different....still going to recess the license plate and add the bumper.

 

As all this metal fab & welding is new to me...... To widen the fenders I had a chunk of 1 1/2" exhaust tubing bent to the curve of the fender. I then bolted that to the side of the bed. Then used cleakos to attach the 6" strip, tacked the strip to the exhaust tube. Slid the fender in place, cut at the edge and tacked it back into one piece. Now it will still just unbolt. So far im a good tacker & grinder but it seems to work

 

Are you going to shape the front edge of the bed to match the shape of the cab?

 

Yes I rolled the whole front edge of the bed to match the curve of the cab and added a whole filler panel on the front sides to remove the body line and extend down to the full length running board Im making. As the bed caps were plastic I also made them from steel.

 

Got my from bed corners done, the side skirts and the tailgate cape Progress

 

I am just starting my Coe , the cab is from a 1940 Dodge.
What is the best source of information ?

 

You've found it, bar none... Start your own build thread. welcome!

 

I know I'm late to the party on this but it never occurred to me that a streer clear could be used anywhere but on the firewall. I'm having a "why didn't I think of that" moment. That's awesome, as is the whole build.
