I am COCOE. I have a 1951 5700 COE that I bought in southern Oregon in 2018. It was in amazing shape compared to some of the rust junk that I almost got sucked into even if it had been sitting in a field for awhile, but it was all there.
I've been working on it for a couple years now and have made significant progress.
I know a lot of the folks on here are purist's and think everything should be returned to original but I have a different vision and need for this one.
I decided to build a car hauler for another vintage car that I show and race.
A lot has changed in the engineering along the way, but the original drawings are surprisingly still close to the way things are coming together.
I was directed to this forum by a good friend that asked me why the heck I'm not on Stovebolt? I was unaware of it but now I am. I have lots of photos of the build thus far and I will start a posting in the project forum as soon as I get released to post by the monitors. Here are a few pic's of when we picked it up.
