Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D

Update:
These next few shots are of the headliner and the trim pieces above the doors for the headliner.
First 2 shots are the trim pieces made
The 3rd is the headliner after it was prepped for the material.

The last 2 are the final look.
It was wrapped in suede.

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D

Mark, any pics of the battery install? Im still trying to figure out where to put mine. Planned to but it under the bed floor but space is premium under there.

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D

The battery will be housed inside the box in the bed.
This box was from a 29 model A sedan for luggage.
And I built a steel box that goes inside and locks.

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D

The usage of the belt sander is mainly for fabrication
Been wanting one for years,so I decided to just build one.

The reason for the paint....because I can

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D

hey reaper, what size of belt did you go with on the sander? looks good, and the width of the belt is wide enough to do some work for sure. nice.

Thanks Guys!

The belt is 2" by 72" a fairly common size for belt sanders

Ha, definitely won't go missing. Did you base it off plans or just started welding stuff together? What did you use for rollers?

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D

The main frame of the sander was based off the design from (Ameribrade) I used there wheels,platen and work table.

Then I modified the upper section as needed for the adjusting. I had No measurements,plans etc. when building this (I just winged it!) The stand was my design so it can be rolled around if needed.

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D

This not an update on my truck, however its some things I wantedto share.

Pic 1. The 55 I worked on awhile back has been gone for several months now.
Wanted to show what the metal work looked like.

Pic 2. This is Brendans diesel motor that will be going in his 67 truck.
The color is a Denali color from GM the truck will be painted the same.

Pic 3. Me and my Friend John were working over the weekend on his 48 Ford truck and this is the new flake.
