2 quick shots of it back in the truck..
Now onto the door panels.. |
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D

So for the door panels I wanted to get that "cockpit" feel to the interior. I first started with the shape I used from the flat section on the dash so it would flow..

Here is a shot of the transition from the panel to the dash. Using round bar,I welded them together then will cut it to make my gap so when you close the door it will match up..

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Looking mighty fine!!
I like how you let us see how you do the metal work! Keep the pics comin' ;) |

Pic #1 is the backside of panel. what you are looking at is a "cap" for the front of the panel this will finish off the front of it at the door for a completed look.
Pic #2 the front side welded and metal finished |
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
:c2:
We'll keep checking in, don't worry! |
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Just read whole thread, great work and great imagination. I'll be following closely. The round bar work kinda reminded me of the black widow bike Orange County choppers done!

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
This truck was very fortunate that you found it. You hooked me on your patch making, and then your steering wheel sealed the deal. This is added to my list of builds to watch.
|
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Thanks so much for checking out the build! yeah I hijacked the idea a long time ago haha..

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Very nice work Mark, kinda reminds me of a Batman theme. What are you thinking for the lower part, any type of gauges or chubby holes in there?

Pic #1 is a shot of the drivers side panel in place and the transition to the dash being started..
Pic #2 A closer look.. same as I did on passenger side using round bar and bending it to get the curve I wanted then go back and make my cut for the gap.. |
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D

Pic #1 This is the drivers side upper portion of the dash...looking closely you can see part of the stock dash still hanging around (the black portion with orange cut line) this needs to go away to make room for the new transition so the dash and panel flow together..
Pic #2 shows the (after) look of the new piece weld,grind etc. |
