|  New build ascender
First build with my son. Painted it on the outside, blue backed with copper so that 'rust' shows through. Progress so far!     |

You're off to a great start with Gearhead beadlocks, Trepadors painted lettering, outside body paint and a nice interior, keep the updates coming!

Andy that body and paint job make me feel 16 again! I had an 1980 k5 with that paint job. Looking forward to this build. Looking great.

Yes looks good I also like how you did grill in gun metal grey instead of chrome.

The lettering was pain in the a$$! He helped for about half then declared I should finish it while he had lunch.....

Very nice! I also used copper underneath when I painted the beat up looking bug body for my Yeti. The color comes through perfectly as rust. |

What wheels are you using? They way they are painted and the angle of the photos they pass as the factory rally wheels with the beauty rings. Ben |

gearhead wheels, quite cool as you can reverse the centres to change the offset
