Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Another great idea on the bumper mounting. The filler panel will look really good Mark.

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..

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
That looks good with splash aprons added. Really help tie things together.

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Rusty76, Thank you!
The apron was a much needed item, there was just to much space between the bed and bumper..

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
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...

Nicely done on the bumper filler panels. Those came out as if they belonged.

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...

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
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
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!

Man that rear bumper mod and panel really look great. Splash pans always seen to really tie everything together. Really nice work.
