Update:

Was able to get more work done today.
Installed the front end yesterday, did final bolt up this morning.

Then pulled the radiator out of storage and installedthat as well as the fan, followed by the cover.

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.

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..

Thanks Marc!
The intake color is a custom bronze I mixed up.
Wanted something different.

Looks good Mark...do you have reverse lights?

joedoh 02-24-2020 11:59 PM

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
 
lights look amazing, that should be safe having the rears up there too!

Thanks Guys.
Greg, I wasnt planning on running them.

Russ, that was a issue these old vehicles have is people cant see the lights easy enough.

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.

thank You!
Yes there are a few out there with this mod already done.
Really makes the front end sharp looking.

Today I got all the AC/heat vents hooked up and my defrost as well. Then cleaned up some wiring etc, then installed the windshield garnish moldings.
