Did you work on, Design something, Or wash your monster today? Tell us what you did for your ride... Inquiring Minds Want to Know!

 

Well I work on my radiator. Befor the winter stop the engine runs 180F now 210F.
The hole radiator is block up with scale props.
Also i put damping stuf on the insite of cab. Lot of roaring.

Greetings Diedelson

 

I got it out of the yard and down to the shop. At least its in line to be worked on now!....

 

kooscoe,
are you using the dynamat or another sound deadner? That Dynamat is sooooo expensive!

 

Hello Metaltwister,

I found A damping material here in the netherlands.
It is A bit A tar product. 4mm thick. It is very heavy.
Maby you have som in the USA.

Greetings Diedelson

 

well i did some work this week on the 46 COE PU project, I got the cab mounted on the 1993 dodge dakota ch***is and stared fitting the front fender hopefully I can start setting in the engine and trans sometime next week Ron...

 

fabricated body mounts using ford flathead engine mount kits (pads bolts nuts and washers 18.00 ea ) two in front, two in the middle and two at rear of cab

 

got back to my coe today - heres what i got done.
here is what i brought home.
here is a picture i photo shopped of what i want to build.

got the body off the stock frame today and on the shop floor.



then i s****ed a motorhome for the independent disc front suspension





hopefully the wife doesnt have to many plans for tomorro - i hope to cut the rollbed ch***is in half to build the right wheel base ch***is for my project.

 

started mocking up frame for graft --

tacked together and trial fitting body.



as soon as i get the dropped a-frames i think i will be where i want to be for ride.

 

Got my COE torn down and ready to be pulled off the ch***is.

 

put my dropped a-arms yesterday and shotened springs. once i get drive train in it should settle to a nice ride height.

hard to get decent pictures in a crowded shop

 

I'm going to wash mine this afternoon. There is a cruise in at the local Culvers tonight, and I still have bugs on it from the trip home from the Frog Follies last weekend.

 

Let's get'em out and drive'em. They'll wash off!!!!

 

got the 50 buick dash and column in my 50 chev coe.

 

mounting saddle tanks also.

have not done anything lately - would some of you guys give me some motivation - just cant seem to find it for some reason. guilty of excessive laziness.

 

Great looking dasbord Lentz Automotive. Cool touch.
It is realy great do drive in my COE. Nice high seat, you have A great look around when you drive.
Al the work you have put into the truck coms back to you by al the great attention you get from othere drivers and the people that have a big smile when you drive by or entere A Carshow.
So it is realy worth to got to your shop and have A great time building your Truck and have fun with it wen you drive it

Greetings Koos

 

I got the F550 axles mounted to the frame today. Next is mounting the Body. I waited too late to get the pictures. It got dark and the frame looks way better than the pics show.

 

Let's invigorate this thread ................ What have you done lately to your COE?

-Donn-

 

Does looking at it count?


I did purchase a 12v alt wire harness but not sure if i am going to use it.

 

I took a long hard look at the coe today, I decided to make a plan-of-attack list,then I thought I should set time frames for all the tasks, then why not estimate the dollars required, at first my results were a little overwelming,then I thought, wait a minute I work hard.. spring is coming..the economy seems to be turning around and damn-it I want to enjoy this truck. I am gonna make this happen!! Any of you fellas share my thoughts??

 

finnally got coe out of the shop and had it towed to my other shop to finnish - should be driving soon.

 

i made all hydraulic hoses, some brake lines, took hyd tank off to replumb fittings, should have all hydraulics done tomorro - then on to the rest of the radiator plumbing and control cables. wish me luck.

 

lentz automotive, OK not many have a rollback to haul there rollback, but it sure is cool. Your COE looks great, is that a 16' bed on the COE? What drivetrain?

 

I bought some caster wheels to put on a pallet to set my cab on so I can put it in the shop and be able to move it around.

 

edit double post

 

dont like the look of 16.5 wheels on the rear. waiting on machine shop, reworking some 19.5s for the rear. gonna leave the 16.5s on the front for the big and little hotrod look. hope to drive this week.

 

well i'm driving it now.




looks a little different now huh?
