47 ford coe (car hauler project)

you started this build a mere 16 months ago, the speed at which you have tackled this build in such fine fashion and quality is truly amazing. RULER!

 

I was a bit unsure of the graphics idea , but seeing it changed my mind ! I can't wait to see it all striped-up .

 

Sander, Always loved the COE's. I had a '56 Ford COE. It had been a dump truck but someone stretched the frame into a long flat bed.

Hope you have a lot of fun with your COE when it is complete.

Looking great.

 

Looking real nice Sander ! Stripes should really set it off.

 

So nice. When I saw the white masking paper color, I thought...oh yuck. It never even dawned on me that the stripes would be the cab color (duh!). Now I see it and really like it.

 

i thought it would look good

started with fase 2 of masking
pretty time consuming, it took abouth 3 hours per side .
then painted the outer edge stripe (1/4 inch) Black and a smaller stripe (1/8 inch) silver next to it

then removed the tape on the inside and now awaiting for a clearcoat.

 

Wow, wow, wow!!!

 

the side paint work is finished
and lower side trim polished and installed.

and also made a bracket for the front license plate today

 

Man that looks sharp!

 

Your COE is just FANTASTIC!!!!!

 

Love the patina! LOL Great work!
What's left?

 

side windows and regulators, interior, carpet, seats etc... and detail work

 

Just looked through the whole build and love it! Great job!

 

Wow Sander, that thing turned out great!! I never had any doubt though!!

Love how it turned out.
Where did you get the side mirrors please?

 

Its beauty Sander !

 

Got them from epay. But bob drake or similar has them too



Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!

 

the project came out really nice ( esp. attention to detail ) ....

and its one of the best ones i have seen ....

 

I like the original mirrors better...and no, you can't have them back. LOL (thanks again)

The scallops look very cool.

What wiper motors are you using and if they are dual electric motors, how do you get them to stop on each side?

 

Sander, That is sure going to be one nice COE you will have great fun cruising in it. Hope you have great fun with it.

Dave

 

While I don't agree with the choice of engine, other than that very well done..

 

Extremely nice!....only going to run one fender skirt?

 

Hello Sander, again I thank you for sharing your project with us. Not only have you created a super neat hauler you have given everyone on the H.A.M.B. total access to how you did the work with constant updates along with detailed pictures.

You have spent alot of time & effort describing your work plus showing the world with photo's of your progess. Thanks!!!!

Great job!!!

Hey Sander

Man that is a great COE and even the model I like most. Last month we visited a friend in New Zealand who also finished his COE on a Dually Chassis, he won best car (truck) on the Beach Hop
