Progress: 1950 Ford COE

Revells 1950 Ford truck turned into a COE!!!!(cab over engine) Yes I have three projects going, who doesn't? Started this morning and have made great progress in just 4 short hours. This is actually two different kits, thats why there are two body colors. Heres a few pics so far:



Heres the body joined to the fenders, and the stock length chassis:












Now here is the shotened chassis with the wheels I will be using, and this is just a mock-up. Paint will be Aqua color:




Feedback and comments welcome! OL' DUDE

Hey,

I always wanted to do an old coe truck. I really hope this turns out great. And I'm sure it will. Good luck. Keep up the awsome work.

That's pretty cool. I'm not too keen on the short wheelbase with the stock bed. Looks more like it should be a flatbed car hauler for your '40.

Good start

Cool! I agree with cwmax, though, that short wheel base looks weird (and scary - I wouldn't drive it!) Is it prototypical or custom? Either way, looks awesome. I can't wait to see it come out.

Re: Progress: 1950 Ford COE

Very cool project!
You HAVE to finish this one.
The racers wedge may look cool behind that cab!
But it looks cool as a slammer too..

I have no idea if it is prototypical, so I guess it would be custom? Thanks for the feedback and yes I am using the wheels in the pic!!!!!!

This is going to be sooo cool.

My father has an original 1950 Ford F100 COE with flat bed. Original flathead engine, and funky 2 stage tranny.

I'll keep an eye on thie thread.
