Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
This is something I wanted to share with you guys..
It is a tool I made for marking cut lines etc. When precise lines are required. It makes it very easy to adjust for thin trimming etc.. I used a block of steel 1/2 wide by 1/4 drilled a hole on both side so it can be rotated as needed. Then using welding rod,steel rod to fit the hole. it slides through and is welded to a collar with set screw. Then I used a piece of tungsten for the scribe. this is adjustable as is the length. then using the set screw on the top it locks it together. Pic #2 showing how it works...you can use Dykem or even a marker.. Hope this helps the home or pro fabricator... Mark...

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
One more shot of gauge/dash..
Pic #2 I don't know how many of you guy's out there like door signage! I want this truck to be used as a shop truck and daily driver (If I ever get it done lol) This was a design I came up with and had 2 stencils made and applied them to the doors, Then used my airbrush and sprayed the white paint and then using a paper towel and some reducer I started to age it (with stencil still on) Then remove the stencil and let dry...After this I wet sanded it a bit to give it a better weathered look.. Till next time.. Mark...

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
I like all your ideas. You could go with a silver metal flake on the dash top and some accents. Then leave the others in bare metal too... You're doing a killer job and I absolutely like door art.

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
A.D. as always thank you very much for the compliments!!
I still am not sure what direction for the interior...I did one more spray out today with a gloss clear, It doesn't make it look cloudy like the eggshell... Dad doesn't get out to the shop very much anymore He comes out and helps if I need him to be there. Health issues with Mom keep him sidelined.. Quote:

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
I like your home made precision line marking tool thingie. May have to make one myself. Still won't cut it straight though. (Thank God for grinders!)

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Here is A update...
My front moldings around the windshield are a bit of an eyesore...so I need to fix this issue.. Pic #1 shows the transition from molding to the dash, witch exposes a large gap between them. Pic #2 shows from passenger side the gap between the molding and door. Now the A pillar would normally have some sort of interior welting etc, but I have diff. plans for this later. So I will start on making extensions for the molding's. This pic also shows a sneak peek of the finish on the door panel and door moldings! I am not happy with the look!! (in person it looks like painted surface)it is bare metal with clear..

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Looks good. So when finished the extension will be welded to the window trim and it will be held on by screws.
Thanks Marc

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Yes! It will basically be the new molding. the screws for the O.E. molding hold it nice and tight to the pillar..

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Pic #1. showing how it will flow into the door molding.
Pic #2. here I have also tacked on round bar to the outer edge to finish it off a bit more. I used 1/8" for this.

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Pic #1. the molding removed from vehicle and all welded, Time to grind and metal finish..
Pic #2. All metal finish done. (After seeing it all finished I didn't like how the corner looked being rounded so I will square it off ) Mark...

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Thank you!!
the moldings just didn't flow the way I wanted so they needed to be modified. They turned out better than I thought they would
