Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D

Hey Guy's, here is a small update on "Orangepeel"
I have been looking around for these headlight rings for several yrs and was always 10 min. late to the party and missed out...

Pic #1. These are from 53-54 Buick and I was on Ebay one night and ran across these for all 3 $60.00!! I hit buy now and here they are.
The one on the far left is the worst of the bunch and has alot of pitting (I think the seller just wanted to get rid of this one)

Pic #2. I mocked them up on the truck to see what it would look like (using small clamps)

Pic #3. In this shot you can see the fender does not line up with the ring so this would need to be addressed.

Pic #4. A friend of mine had a pair of Buick fenders he donated to the cause. I will cut as needed and blend into the stock chevy fender.

Mark...
