47 ford coe (car hauler project)

Now that you have the stainless on the bottom, I am curious to see how the edges of the wood bed will look up against the side panels. Will you build a trim cap or ?

 

Love the colour combination. Great work all all around.

 

i have made wood border trim that will fit over the edge, i think it will look good.

today he got his eyes back



and my dad clear coated the bed wood today

who needs a front bumper like this one? I got it ! Pm me.

 

Cool, I am glad you have that ramp setup. The bed looks great! That think is almost too nice to be hauling cars now

Keep up the good work.

 

Awesome truck, it makes me want to go ahead and build mine.

Build it! That beauty deserves to live again!

 

After seeing your new center grill bar, I ordered one for my truck. My original 41 piece had been dented and poorly straightened. So glad they make that in reproduction now. I looked for years for another one.

 

do you need to shorten it to fit your grill ? is a 41 grill a one year only model ?

 

you mean the rubber pads just like the ones that go under the headlight stand to fender ?

 

Will not have to shorten the center bar. My grill bars are just shifted downwards 5 or 6 inches, As for the gasket, there is a small gasket (2" tall) that fits between the headlight stand and the park light assembly. They are made by: Mike Woodard. He might be here on the forum. I will PM you his email address.

 

installed the side window trim



and i am working on the wiring ......




and we have a tail-gater my dad's 55 panel truck (doing some cleaning and polishing)

That is so cool!

 

The first ride is always great... Fantastic build a beautiful truck that you can enjoy for years...

envious.........big time.....good job

 

Sounds great, I too am so jealous, Great job

 

That is just so cool. Fantastic build.

 

I love it! But I though the traditional seat for the first drive was a 5 gallon bucket or a milk crate, not a box?

 

Congratulations! Your truck looks great! I really like the custom seat too.

 

do not copy , i have a patent on that seat

 

Sweet.......

 

Hey...you even had your first box of cargo...!!!

 

It LIVES!!!

Wonderful!!



(I sure hope I can say the same thing about my truck build before too long.)

 

That's just SO cool and inspirational, too! Congrats on your first run.

 

Sweet! I like the ramp groove, but you might want to consider something to keep them in it if they aren't trimmed perfectly flat with the ground. They tend to jump up as the car rolls up on them otherwise.
