Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Then I started on the fuel system and ran the lines and it's all finished except for the vent.
Then pulled the bumper out to get it installed as well. Mark.

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Looks great Mark...I like your intake color. Is that a titanium color? The engine bay looks nice and tidy. The custom radiator shroud is a nice touch too..
Marc

The intake color is a custom bronze I mixed up. Wanted something different. Mark

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
great looking truck . I like the custom interior and the door buttons you made.
I have the same headlight bezels and front bumper. I bought them years ago after seeing a bare metal truck on line with them. I just started on my 51 about a month ago. |
