47 ford coe (car hauler project)

Great looking exhaust ports!

 

then i need some flame throwers

desided to go the difficult route and put them in the rear

first i have polished the stacks and then weld them to the steel ring




and drilled holes and bolted the stainless steel side panel and exhaust ports in place

 

nice clean look to it ....

 

Love the exhaust tubes!! Will they be functional?

I am learning a lot from this build, the little details are awesome!!!

yes they will, i still need to make the collector box to a single exhaust pipe
but will first proceed with the side panels.

 

some more progress
the corvette in the back ground has the same color
as the hauler will get (Atomic Orange) combined with metalic black and beige silver.





here a sample of the atomic orange in evening sunlight

 

DAMN, you've got some mad skills, man!

 

bought a set of 40's ford car hubcaps to see if i could make them fit to
the front wheels , did some measuring to see if the bolts would fit inside the hubcap and then cut the retainer ring off
and test fitted them. also made a start on the other side's side panels.

 

almost finished one side Just another one to go.....






also reworked the dash so the ignition switch would fit nicely

 

Outstanding job Sander! You'll need to hand out sunglasses wherever you go with this thing! Looking forward to see it all together.

 

nice touch ...

 

First - I've been following your project for a while now. I am really impressed and taking notes for when I finally get started on my project. Awesome work!!!

Second - Just an idea... Are you using smooth or brushed stainless? I'm asking because I see the big arrows on the protective plastic, which usually indicate a "grain" orientation to the base material. I would hate to see all that work and material wasted when you finally remove the platic, only to see that something in the panel's finish doesn't line up correctly.

Keep up the good work. Way Cool !!!!

 

it has a smooth finish and will wet sand and polish it out to a nice gloss
not high gloss mirror like, also abouth half of it will be painted.

 

worked on the door skins today
and made a brace for behind the largest piece

 

Wow , that thing's looking slick ! Love the exhaust too .

 

Do you mind showing a picture of how you set up what your screws that hold the side panels are being screwed into?
Thank you.
Enjoying all the work you have done!

 

Nicely done straight forward metal work.

those are cool. can't say I've seen those before.

 

got all the glass made new


and my dad is making progress on paint just one other color to go !

 

OH! I"M so jealous . The paint looks so good , clear coat on single stage?

 

its base coat / clear coat (metalic colors)

 

Wow man, slow down!

 

No No, The sooner he finishes, the sooner he can fly to the US to finish mine

 

Looks great! I can't believe how fast you're making progress. You'll be driving it in no time.

 

yes yes i feel the pressure thats why i am in such a hurry

 

Corvette sander, Is that a tile paint booth?

 

Yes
