Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D

Very nice work Mark, kinda reminds me of a Batman theme. What are you thinking for the lower part, any type of gauges or chubby holes in there?

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D

Pic #1 is a shot of the drivers side panel in place and the transition to the dash being started..
Pic #2 A closer look.. same as I did on passenger side using round bar and bending it to get the curve I wanted then go back and make my cut for the gap..

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D

Pic #1 This is the drivers side upper portion of the dash...looking closely you can see part of the stock dash still hanging around (the black portion with orange cut line) this needs to go away to make room for the new transition so the dash and panel flow together..

Pic #2 shows the (after) look of the new piece weld,grind etc.

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D

So finally on to the back of the cab!!
What I was wanting was a wrap around look for the interior..
Pic #1 showing a seamstress tape so I would be able to get a precise measurement for the steel needed for this next step. (on the green tape the marks are of where the door panel will line up)
Pic #2 shows a shot of the entire cab with tape..

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D

Pic #1 showing the piece of steel used for the rear panel. Had a friend shear me a piece 4 3/4 and about 6" longer than I needed.
Pic #2 the bottle I used for bending the steel (happened to be the same radius as the inside of cab) so it made it easy to bend it and a good shape..
