Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
here is a shot of the insulation at my shop.
The link from Amazon is exactly the same stuff. A box of 10 is $89 so a bit more expensive.

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Robert,Its really no different than just making your piece with metal.
get your sizes etc. and bend,curve,trim till you get the shape you want. that way your not wasting metal. Mark

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
some of you may be wondering why this might be taking so long.
Well I'm also working on these. The 55 needed: full floor pan,trunk pan,rockers,and quarters.

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
The 55's metal work is pretty close to being done.
The other project is a 67 I'm doing for another customer. It needed: partial floor,rockers,cab corners,cab supports,drip rail and smoothed out and filled firewall and smoothed cab seam. Mark

Strong work, as always.. what are your steps you go through to weld a roof seam. How to keep the weld from being contaminated from all the gunk in the seam. I hope you do a thread on the 67 in the alternative tinkering section. love to follow your work and learn thanks. Keep on keepin on nutz

Awesome work and great ideas Mark!!
Are you going to do a buildthread on the ‘55 also, when it’s ready? I’d like to see that. Maybe change your name in MMM....Metal Master Mark ![]() ![]()

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Nutcase, normally with any seam like this I try and media blast first if possible.
Then I use a thin cutoff wheel and lightly run it down the length of seam to remove any other pieces of paint etc. Then start doing tacks every 2 inch or so and repeat. Mark

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Kees, I'm not sure if I'm going to do threads on both of these or not.
If there is enough interest I may consider. Thanks again for the compliments. Mark

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Update:
So I was fairly busy the last 2 weekends getting all the interior parts prepped for paint. Pic 1. My dash painted and cleared. Pic 2. After getting it painted I then masked it off to paint the inside of the gauge pods. Pic 3. The dash installed and gauges in. Mark.
