Thanks Greg!
Yes they are my little shop dogs they go just about everywhere with me. Mark. |
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
What are you covering it with? I'm envious of the metal work! Looks good.
|
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Well thank you very much Robert!
The entire set will be painted. Mark |
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
wow that looks great, great use of butcher paper for the pattern too.

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Thanks Russ.
The product I use for making patters etc. is called Ramboard. it's used for covering floors while moving furniture. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QO1T2A8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 |
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
ramboard looks similar to the chipboard paper I use
|
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Had to read back a little ;)
Nice work again Mark! |
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Greg,The ramboard is 3ft by 50ft roll so you can just cut to the size you need.
where do you get the chipboard paper? |
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D

Pic 1. The band all drilled .
Pic 2. The top piece drilled as well. Both of these will match the other pieces in the truck. Pic 3. After putting insulation on back of cab I made pieces for mounting the fuse panel and this will aid in mounting clips for the wiring. Mark. |
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
That looks good. Very nice.
|
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Thanks again Robert!

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
beauty man! I am going to check local for some ramboard
|
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Mark..I've been getting the chipboard from a local shipping company...i also have some of what they call craft paper....the craft paper i got from a return goods sale we have at work...its on a 3ftx50ft roll...the chip board is 4x4 squares...the chipboard is .022 thick and the craft paper is .005 thick...
I've been useing both to make transfer patterns..... |
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Thanks Russ!
|
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Greg, Yes ive used the craft paper as well. It is a bit flimsy for making some templates. The RamBoard can be bent with a sheet metal break to make a perfect template.

Just for my curiosity I tried the chip board in my metal break....works pretty good...I'd hadn't thought about bending it in the break....that's a good idea Mark..

here is a shot of the insulation at my shop.
The link from Amazon is exactly the same stuff. A box of 10 is $89 so a bit more expensive. |
