Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Thanks Doug...I wanted it to be some what simple to remove. So when it's all done you pull 2 bolts out and the bumper and the inner mounting system comes off pretty easy..

Rusty76, Thank you!
The apron was a much needed item, there was just to much space between the bed and bumper.. |

You're doing this truck justice.

Thank's Doug, It was a pain in the butt to do the repairs on them do to the compound curves they have, so it was a challenge!!
Pic #1. The bumper all prepped for clear... Pic #2. The pan after texturing.. Pic #3. The bumperettes.. Pic #4. The bumper cleared and installed... (The reason I cleared the bumper and pan was to tie the bumper into the interior concept. ) Mark... |
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Nicely done on the bumper filler panels. Those came out as if they belonged.

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
how far does your tailgate come down?
|
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Ratty46 thank's...it really needed the pan, it looked kinda silly without it...
Spblack....Oddly enough it comes all the way down with about 1/4" of clearance. When it was in mock up stages it was worked out so it could still be used if needed.. Mark... |

Update...
Ok, if you guy's remember awhile back I was kicking around the idea of the metal finish for the interior, so after I finished the dash I removed the door panels and the moldings from the doors and back panel from the cab to re-do them... Pic #1. This is the rear panel for the cab after I textured it. Pic #2. The door panel. Pic #3. Steering column. Pic #4. First look after the clear was done and parts installed.. Pic #5. A closer look at the door and molding.. Till next time Mark... |
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Now I'm with you with the bumper, this is good!
Also love your doorpanel, that's slick! |
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Bumper, filler and the door panel looks really good. Nice ideas well done Mark!
|
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
That's some really slick work on the bumper reaper.

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Kees,Doug and Rob Thank's again Guys for the compliments!!
I have one more small Item to post and then this old girl will go into the basement for awhile :( ( I have customer projects that need my attention so until I get farther ahead on them it goes in storage ) |

This last item on my list before I put her away, is for the steering wheel/column.
There is a gap between the wheel and column that needs attention. Pic #1. Here I made a simple ring a bit larger than the column and welded together. Then I cut out the top ring/plate to fit the back side of wheel. Pic #2. This is what it looks like sitting on the wheel.. Pic #3. After tacking together.. Pic #4. After welding and metal finish...( also notice the inner plate that was added ) Pic #5. This gives you a better idea of what I'm going for..(the small holes in plate are for 1/4-20 button head cap screws to hold in place) More later... Mark... |
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
That is a nice detail. Putting her away...certainly understand the need and it is kinda like stopping in the middle of a good book. Here is to a quick continuation!
|
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Your making some great progress Mark..
Looking forward to more very soon. Marc |
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Man that rear bumper mod and panel really look great. Splash pans always seen to really tie everything together. Really nice work.
|
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Looking real good!
Hope you get back at it very soon, we're waiting ;) It's great that you can use your talents at other peoples projects, they are lucky :metal: |
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Doug, It is a bummer that it needs to be put away again but to spend money you need to make it first HAHA!!

This will be the last portion of the updates for awhile as stated earlier...
Pic #1. A shot of the spacer/trim ring installed. Pic #2. Another shot to give you a better idea what it was needed for. Although I did not take pics of the wheel being painted and detailed (DUH) here is what it turned out like. Pic #3. The back of wheel has stainless button head cap screws installed. Pic #4. Front view with center cap installed.. |
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
