Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D

Pic 1. This is my scribe gauge I made a while ago.
Its fully adjustable

Pic 2. Make a perfect line set at the length you need.

Pic 3. Cutting the tube in half for a lower riser.

Pic 4-5 I'm using (My friend John's) porta-band from Harbor freight (Bauer) and have it mounted to a portable table from swag off road.
The saw is usually on sale $140 and the table goes for $125, This super useful for cutting tubes under the vehicle and with the table you can cut shapes pretty easy.

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D

thats a neat setup! thanks for the tip, I have always wanted a small band saw setup and that is certainly not expensive.

Joedoh, It's a really handy unit to have.
Cuts through tubing like butter!

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D

I have the Milwaukee saw (got used on Craigslist) and that Swag table. Yes, it will cut! Like Reaper said, it's nice.

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D

update:

Pic 1. This is why I was showing the saw, I cut it in half to make risers for the radiator. the radiator has a pocket on the bottom and these will fit inside of it and lock it in place.

Pic 2-3 I made these plates to tie in the upper fender to the radiator uprights.

Pic 4. Cut and welded in.

Pic 5. Starting to take shape.

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D

dude that saw set up is awesome. I like that is not a huge unit that is planted in my already tiny garages!!! Core support is looking good. I'm in the process of designing one myself. thanks for the tips!

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D

Kees, speaking of Mustangs this is a customer's car I had done suspension,rear end etc. On a few years ago.
He had some fender damage that needed fixing, anyways I talked him into respraying the car in matte clear.

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D

Thanks 99!

It beats having to cut everything with a cutoff wheel (and the stink of said wheel) by a mile!! and it takes up minimal space.
I've seen some guys making a stand for these that can be moved around the shop.

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D

Pic 1. Radiator set in place, now I can make a upper mount.

Pic 2. I didnt take shots during this step.
The 2 bolts closest to the radiator come out and the upper mount lifts a bit and slides out.

Pic 3. a closer look of the passenger side where it's slotted to slide around the filler neck.

Pic 4. Now I can move on to the radiator splash apron, I had one but it was so tore up I cant use it. So i will need to find a new one.

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D

Not much of an update, but here is a few shots of the truck with the hood back on.
I needed to put the hood on to check fitment of the hood to fender placement. I will need to make some adjustments with the core support I made to help with the fender support.

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D

looks outstanding, really really nice work.

I am waiting on a DAR determination this morning, leafing through the AD FSM with my coffee looking at how to adjust the hood, I moved my hinge and that didnt really help anything.
