That is so cool...so much better than the flowered shag carpet I had on the doors of my first hotrod lol
Well, I like it...It fills up all that excess leg room...HA!!!!
Nope, moving the hinge pin forward makes the door swing further out...take it to an extreme, imagine if the pin was located 20 feet in front of...
You could relocate the hinge pin location forward. Then the door would swing out wider....(or do suicide doors and crawl over the fender to get...
I got my hood emblem from Ron down in Tucson...wow what a nice piece!!! All the local chrome shops are either out of business or pretty lousy....
Where you mount the engine will make a difference. My SBC is under the bed. My frame and bed are HEAVY too, but I still only use 1/2 ton...
Oh, I forgot...don't forget to add dust, dirt, scratches and cobwebs :)
OK...Here it is. IMPORTANT - NOT FOR THE NOVICE. This takes a lot of work and skill to build, but it does works great. Also, this may not be...
(Steve, you have so many interesting gizmos! ) You could always put an independent rear end in it...corvette, jag, etc. Then a short shaft...
I tried to weigh mine, but my bathroom scale does not go that high :rolleyes:
I just bought a re-pop emblem for my 41 grill. Ron in Tucson (who makes them) said that he may not make anymore. He only has one left after mine.
My bed tilts right now. I may convert it to a rollback on the next go-around. Who knows. I am still busy trying to figure out how to make the...
If you put another coat of paint on it, it will lengthen it by 20% :)
Good news...Wescott's Auto makes a fiberglass gravel pan for the 41-47 Ford COE...the bad news, it's $175

Looking for a front gravel pan for my 41 Ford COE
Actually the grill is the same length as stock, it was just so rotten on bottom that I moved the bars downwards. It was the best I could do at...
All good things to consider. I've already raised the bed 3". Maybe I can lower the cab? Guess I'll start with mock-ups on the headache...
Maybe cut the top center out of a stock bumper and lower the edge, then make a stepped gravel pan between the cab and bumper. Lower the driving...
Been messing around with the design of my COE on Paint.. I feel like the proportions of my truck are off and it has been bothering me for a long...
Got my COE out of the "dust bowl" today. It Patina is valuable, my COE must be worth millions. Soooo dirty and full of cobwebs. Tempted to...
Steve, so sorry for your loss...
Did you ever get your brackets? I've got some in a box somewhere
What you guys think of the sliding rear window kit Bob Drake sells for the 38-47 Ford COE cab?
The center trim is captured under the emblem and under the bottom trim piece. The emblem is "cut out" from the factory to clean the center trim....
That's the one....Thanks!
It was someone on this forum. Did a spectacular job of chopping his COE
I've been looking through post to find the Ford COE with the chop where the builder left the windshield intact and pushed it into the roof as he...
[ATTACH] This one showed up at a local cruise night. GMC
