Thanks for the kind comment.

Yes it will have an interior, as to the weight, body alone is 2.4 lbs. Combined the entire rig weighs 7.12 lbs. Still have the bumpers, misc trim and an interior to add.

O hell yes bout time someone dose a 70s chevy pick up. Now I need to how much you make one for me but a 70 c10 long bed so I can build a stock scale one for my dads 1:1 that he has.

[Natedog]

Bumper is looking awesome too! Will you paint it, coat with silver leaf or?

[motakitty]

It's gotta be chrome.

[joe122]

Slow going on the Ascender, but made some progress with the bumpers and taillight assemblies. Front bumper will have chrome leaf applied.

Rear will be a step bumper with diamond plate upper deck. Started with a basic idea for the shape,





Taillight time...

Looks great. And nice well used table. One day I may tackle a project like this

[joe122]

Thanks, yes table is a little messy, its not that difficult, just takes patience.....and practice.
Bolted on the bumpers, glass installed, still have exterior trim, rear tail gate trim, emblems and interior etc. Time for a video.

Your like machine Scott Another awesome scratch build my friend

[Natedog]

Yes, video please.

[joe122]

Vid is coming....trying to finish the interior first.

After a brief business trip, I got back on the Chevy. Well.....I really don't like tiny letters! Just wrapped up the tailgate, Started the dash, it will have back lit gauges. Started the interior door panels. Its so humid here that it fogged up the second I went outside, which is the reason for the foggy pictures.

[joe122]

Adding some detail to the dash.......just got this thing about completing it before its true maiden voyage......slow going though.

[joe122]

Couldn't wait, short test drive after test fitting the dash and door panels. Floor and seats next.
Quick video.....

Greatly appreciate the compliment! I think its an addiction!
Wrapped up the seats, test fit, think I may lower them a bit more. Fit the steering wheel, column and column mounted shifter.
