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

The cab will still be removed and bottom of cab will be prepped for paint and bedliner. At that point I can also do all the bodywork on firewall.

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Doug,I used POR15 in satin black (with a brush!!) and hand painted every inch of the frame. Once it was mostly cured I then sprayed it with POR15 "Top Coat" in chassis black.
The chassis black gives it a very hard surface. I used about 3/4 of a quart when painting the frame and suspension. and had enough to paint the backside of the Hood.

Yes it was,I ended up punching a series of holes around the lid and pealing it open so I could pour it into a mason jar.

Hey, progress!!
If you can say tearing down is progress

Por 15 is a good sealer, even for its own bucket

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Here is an update that I forgot to post PRE cab removal!

Pic 1. The stock style splash apron

Pic 2. Since I am running a short radiator it looked really silly being so tall.
I cut off 5" from the top.This was a mockup

Pic 3. The new plate cutout and roundbar used to give a radius.
At this point I was not happy with it (as it looked boring)

Pic 4. So I made some cuts to add some style.

Stay tuned!
Mark
