Very well done! Love the bumper mods and the headlights are looking great! Plus I learn a lot and get inspired when I follow your work. I need to go cut something up now...

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
great fab work, I always wonder about raising the front lights a little on an AD, and there it is! I even wonder about adding a slice lengthwise across the top to tilt the fenders out a little at the top so they slope back towards the wheel as they go down, front and rear, if you need any more ideas to visualize for me haha.

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
The plan is to try and match the paint as good as possible,and retain the character of the vehicle. Hench Orangepeel name
