Beautiful day to for blasting[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Always a little sketchy doing this stuff without a hoist, but slow and steady.[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Its nice to finally have a floor [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Its been a year or two since I made any real progress. Now we're moving, so that lite a fire under my ass to make some progress. Body mounts are...
No. The f450 donor steering should be sufficient. I was contemplating putting it in my Polaris RZR.
[ATTACH] Looks like an electric power steering system. I pulled one out of a 2007 Toyota car from the junkyard. Pretty cool I'd say. I grabbed the...
I probably ordered it about 10 years ago. My memory isn't great, but I think it was an ebay find.
Got the steering wheel fabbed up. I dislike seeing a modern wheel in an old vehicle, it gives away what was used as a doner. I wanted to keep the...
That second picture is perfect! My re-pop emblem needs to be ground into the “v” shape. My grill has the center bar over the welded center bar...
Could I trouble you for an up close picture?
That's the truck grill. Coe is different. Didn't see a good picture from the link, unless I was looking in the wrong place
Does anyone have a good close up pic of the grill where the vertical bar meets the emblem? Mine was damaged to the point I can't tell it's...
The shifter has a release pin that travels inside to the handle. It locks when it reaches the lockout holes and is spring loaded so squeezing the...
I could disguise the ebrake but that might end bad on the highway
The donor shifter cable has a decent amount of rotation built in. This allows side to side flex while allowing the cable to give it's proper in...
I like the feel of shifting a manual but seeing how this is going to be an automatic I will have to improvise. I found what I think is an ebrake...
Yours looks real nice painted. I like it better than chromed ones
I was thinking I was going to use the stock bumper to keep the factory look on my coe. [ATTACH] I was browsing the junk yard and spotted a couple...
I used a 1/2 x 1/16” steel tube. Pre bent to shape then welded in. Would have been cooler to hammer form the edges over but would have been very...
59 impala gauges on the right, 54 ford meteor guage in the middle. Using these for a little style inspiration [ATTACH] Slowly cutting and trimming...
Doing it the old fashion way. Using the anvil tip was the only thing small enough to hammer form the tight corners. [ATTACH] Just have to...
Thanks Blue, your pictures show better detail than my rusty mock up parts. tjelwood.... the 90° hydroboost bracket is simple enough to make and...
The two panels meet and make a valley. I messed around with the sand bag and e-wheel to smooth the transition [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Yours turned out great. I didnt want to copy anyone, but like Barry said we seem to have similar taste. Im torn because I think I may incorporate...
I jumped at the chance to get this 59 impala dash. Lots of cutting and welding ahead but should be worth it [ATTACH] Spliced the Coe dash and the...
I welded mine smooth. The bead almost all came off by hand it was so rusty. I have a visor going on mine so I would have been a waste to try...
I ended up re-doing the radiator support and moving it forward to gain a couple inches of foot room. Then I changed the rad fans and will make a...
I think that interior and paint scheme would really suit your autocar. Only thing I question would be how much noise comes from a mostly metal...
I personally am a big fan of those. I took a break from my COE to get my Bronco running.....no regrets.
