Thank you, I did add a chrome exhaust but I don't think I captured it in any of the pics, you can just about see it here:-

One minor detail I see missing. Where's the jack?

Are you able to advise what sort of jacks they had, like this?

Not certain but they might have used that kind of jack along with a base to use in the sand for more stability. Like this

Cool, I already have something like that, cheers.

I simply had to take advantage of some lovely weather today to get out with the Stepside and take some photos.

Cheers, it was great to finally get out with it. Here's some vintage footage:-

If I didn't see this being built I would swear it was a real vintage baja runner. Great build. Glad to see you getting dirt on it's tires.

Amazing results, great build and nice video, would like to see it running around a bit more, not just donuts.

Man great build! Makes me miss my 75 chevy I had in high school!

What chassis/axles did you use?

This is a super cool build, I love it! And as soon as I saw it the memories came flooding back of one of my favourite matchbox cars as a kid. I know it's not a Chevy, I still have it, here is a pic!

It's a Trail Finder 2 with Yota II axles.

Very cool, there's nothing better than such childhood memories.
