Re: '41 Ford COE questions
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 fenders. I've got the cab removed and I'll have it sandblasted soon.

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.

Re: '41 Ford COE questions
Few update pics. Got the cab sandblasted. Now I'm welding in new sheet metal for some rust the sandblasting revealed. Some pitting where the fender welting held in the moisture.

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 my dad's painted floor.
Pretty much everywhere that there was metal to metal I found corrosion. This repair is where the bolt-on cab corner to fender connection is made. The running boards are in great shape. It's the mounting channel that was full of dirt and moisture. Still haven't figured out what do do there.

Re: '41 Ford COE questions
should not be too hard to remove the old and make two new ones. I will check my iron pile to see if I might have some off another board

Re: '41 Ford COE questions
We're those rails a common way to mount running boards? I've looked a bit online but haven't seen anything similar.

Re: '41 Ford COE questions
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.
