COE COE Picture thread (imported from main board)

From the GoodGuys 25th West Coast Nationals

 

If anytone is interested, I know of a Ford COE that is for sale here in town. I could take some pics and get the info if needed. Not sure of the year.

 

That's a good show, haven't been able to make that one in a while.

 

Here is one from the Olcott Beach show in NY last week

 

Check this one out in the HAMB Cl***ifieds: 1937 White - Bender Streamliner Housecar http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=624379

 

A friend of mine just sent me this link to three pages of COE's.

Great link!

 

Several of my photo's on there plus my logo drawn by Jack Bishop.

Great!

Since this might not be H.A.M.B friendly, I'm posting a link, rather than the image itself.

Cool link, but the music was horrible.....LOL

 

any you coe guys interisted in my coe shirts? wanted to make a line for you guys. let me know. pm me johnnyjalopy

 

first...I think that photo fits just fine on this thread.

and second...is that photochopped???

what a crazy, cool rig!!

 

Yes, it's a quick Photoshop.

I was offered an opportunity to pick up a friends COE a couple of years ago for very short money. He was going to pull the body for another project, but the lower section and fenders would remain intact. I was shopping around for possible bodies to put up on top and photoshopped the VW bus, since there was one available for nearly nothing in the next town.

In the end, he removed MUCH more than just the body making the project a little more than I could handle, the photoshopped picture is all that remains of the "dream."

 

Now I see where quite a few suburbans have gone! Great pictures though.

 

I love this one! Looks better without the visor too.

 

Kinda looks like that shirt. Johnny did you do the original art work?

 

The base of that is my COE, pic taken at the first Santa Maria (RIP Paso....) show.

That could be done with a rear door like an airplane ****pit.

 

After 3 years of working on it I think I'm finally getting close. Bodywork and paint on the bed and some final detail work left.

 

Looks like all your hard work paid off. Looks great.
Baron

 

Thanks Baron. One good thing about being on a tight budget, takes a long time to get done but if you stick to it and try not to "settle" things eventually turn out like you pictured in the beginning. I can't wait to see the bed in a nice glossy coat of red!

 

yep..johnny

 

These are great! Anyone know about these Mack COE's? Is this a factory design or did someone build it from a conventional cab?

Steve

 

That is a factory Mack COE, pretty cool looking in my opinion.

 

Not to throw too much of a wrench in the COE thread, but I'm kinda looking for a 60's needle nose Peterbilt single axle tractor. Seems like this is the crowd to mention it. Anybody ever put one on a 1 ton ch***is? Just thinking out loud.

 

I've seen them on 1 ton ch***is, but it looks odd to me without bigger diameter wheels, you could run the 8 stud 19.5 rims painted, and it would look pretty decent. Or go for the hub adapters for a 1 ton and run alloy semi wheels, dropped low it could be very nice and a not bad DD.

 

A very Cool Photo of my truck is placed on Speedhunter.com site.

I am stil waiting that the magazine is shipt to me. So cant see how it looks.

So lots of Cool stuf is gowing on with my truck.

Greetings Koos.<O</O

 

I already recieved the Rat Rod magazine. The main photo was about the same as that picture you posted.
I was impressed by the YouTube video more! I just looks like you're having to much fun doing the cruise and then dropping the air to park.
I'm hoping to be doing the same with one of mine in the next year or so.
Nice job!

 

Hey Koos. Great shot in this picture. Glad it is becoming "world famous!". I'll have to pick up a copy of Rat Rod magazine.
Congrats on both counts.
Baron

 

Best I've seen. They got the hood right...which is where it usually goes wrong.
