Re: '41 Ford COE questions
They’re out there but in short supply so they’re busy. I have a friend that owns a body shop and does amazing work but I have a hard and fast rule, I never do business with friends or family.

Re: '41 Ford COE questions
Yeah Idaho. Boys grew up and my oldest started college in WA state. Figured we'd better move and get closer.

Re: '41 Ford COE questions
Little update on the old '41. Drug up and moved to Idaho. My truck was all stripped and ready for paint but my painter flaked out on me. Put it back together enough to move and towed it to Nampa...

Dan,
Thanks for your service to our country. Glad that Uncle Sam has you in a place that you can play with your vintag toys. Intermittent problems can be frustrating. My friend has a Hudson that was...

Re: '41 Ford COE questions
Rustynut,
You give all that advice, offer up your help and don't even post up a picture of that amazing '47. I can only zoom in on your avatar so far.

Re: '41 Ford COE questions
Thanks for the offer. I found some replacement channel yesterday and have it on order. It looks like it should work.

Just one Supercub. But my dad has an addiction to model aircraft. He's got a bunch of large scale RC supercubs. The largest had a 12 foot wing span.

Re: '41 Ford COE questions
It's coming along. I finally brought the cab home from my dad's hangar. It's a whole lot easier to get motivated when I don't have to drive an hour and a half. Plus I can weld without worrying about...

Re: '41 Ford COE questions

Yeah, that'd be my dads 50x50 hangar. His cub is on floats on the lake through the summer. He's pretty generous with his shop space.

My old COE is back on the front burner. Plan is to have it painted this winter and back on the road in the spring. Charged the battery up this summer and took it for a little drive without doors and...

Re: '41 Ford COE questions

I'm making progress but real slow. I try to do something to it every time I'm home (I still work a 2 week on 2 week off schedule) but that doesn't always happen. I did get some welding done...
