Re: Long Project: Orange Julius
Got bored the other day and decided to draw up some ideas for door panels. I think Im pretty decided on the bottom right design. I tried to use some of the lines of the truck in the design. Anyone guess what they are???
![]() The panel will run from the top of the OEM panel all the way to the floor. The insert in the middle will be a "double stitched diamond" pattern to match the insert in the seat. Down at the bottom left of the panel will be speakers and then covered with an acoustic fabric so the sound wont be affected. I cant decide what I want to do with the spot below the line on the bottom. Then the rest of the panel will be a high quality vinyl or leather(just depends on what I chose when that day comes) Just to the right of the right of the panel is a cutaway or profile shot of it. You can kinda see I incorporated an armrest/door pull just right below the insert. Then some brushed aluminum hardware to finish it off |

Re: Long Project: Orange Julius
I am pretty new to the forum and saw your thread Orange Julius......and must say that is one beautiful truck, You and your dad make one killer build team! I have a 69 that I am going to start on soon and was kicking around the orange color for it but after seeing your paint color I know for sure it will be an orange color now! lol
I know all to well deployments can suck(Twice myself) when you have to leave family and friends behind but I am thankful for your service ![]() |

Re: Long Project: Orange Julius
Just read the whole thread. Great job on the truck! Love the color too.
You asked about what to do to the grill for a little more pop, and I always liked a little black outside of the headlight bezels. Happy b-day too!

Re: Long Project: Orange Julius
Haha, yea... I never thought I would splurge for it but I guess things change! Plus I had 2 good excuses. One being a birthday gift to myself, and two I needed something pretty to mount my new(to me) LS/T56 combo onto.
![]() you know, I was just thinking that too! I can spray them with some Plasti-Dip and if I change my mind, just peel it off. |

Re: Long Project: Orange Julius
So a little change came my way as how Im gonna do some things with the truck. Instead of running a T56 behind the LQ4, Im have decided to go with a 4L60E. It will be alot cheaper and quicker to get done since I dont have to install another pedal, clutch slave cyl, and figure out where the shifter is going to go.
I also ran across this company in an issue of HotRod Magazine... http://visualimpactperformancesystems.com/index.html They make a very simple, clean, and somewhat more affordable(still overpriced in my eyes) serpentine setup. Plus it comes with all the accessories I needed anyways. Whatcha think? ![]() |

Re: Long Project: Orange Julius
If they are the same price I would go with the March setup. Looks nicer to me.
