Contact Jim Carter at Jim Carter's Truck Parts, because a few years ago he was making the rubber fender mats for COE's. I talked to him about my '51 COE and he was making them at that time. Let us know what you find out! $\:D$ $\:D$ $\:D$ $\:D$ $\:D$ _________________________ The Mangy Old Mutt "If It's Not Junk.....It's Not Treasure!"

Junkyard Dog Registered: 11/23/01 Posts: 20041 Loc: Eagle Point, Oregon	Hey There Lil' Johnny! Thanks for the update! Ya, when I talked to Jim Carter about it he was in the process of trying to make them, but then I never heard if he finished the mats or not until now. Sure, there are several dudes out there that can make the dies, but you are right........it would cost you thousands!!!! However, just about every COE out there needs them. But, there is one way out......you can street rod your COE, and then you won't need the rubber fender mats!! Ha ha! $\:D$ $\:D$ $\:D$ $\:D$ $\:D$ Thanks again for the update! _________________________ The Mangy Old Mutt "If It's Not Junk.....It's Not Treasure!"

If I'm good at (LOL) working on "Shade Trees", then it stands to reason (LOL) Skip should be GREAT @ "oil cans". Just a jest there Skip!

Blondes, redheads, and etc. It all works for me! Heck, even Elvira has a custom Thunderbird!
