Status as of tonight: My wife thought a gray interior would look good with the blue body, so I added a splash of blue and think it makes it pop a little! Also, decided to go with red for the drive shafts and transfer case. Axles are in gloss black whereas the frame is flat.

Progress tonight! Engine painted and assembled: Body sanded for imperfections and another this coat applied. Also, have joined the axles to the gear boxes, and the springs and transfer case to the frame. Those parts to be painted together tomorrow! Hey my friend just call me Ben, Everyone else does. Sorry Im a little late. But I would use this.

Or this will work to. I prefer the spray paint tho. Chevy Engine Red and Orange are the same thing. Just labeled different.

Thanks Ben. Was looking at that engine red and almost got some yesterday. Still have a corvette to build after the truck though, have a few jets and Mighty Mo.

After some fresh air, I decided to just snap the body on for paint reference on the inside of the body panels. I do believe this is going to be my best build yet! She’s shaping up to be a beauty!

Definitely on the list. Need to even out the garage though. Currently have 2 Chevy's and only 1 Ford. Not good for a Ford truck guy! haha! Unfortunately, to get MY truck, I might have to actually get a diecast already built and repaint it. It seems that NOBODY ever made a model for the 2002 Ford Explorer Sport trac! I mean REALLY?!?!?!

Never hijacking Ben! Appreciate the info! Found my first "issue" with the monster. The engine won't fit in the engine compartment, so the chassis doesn't fit down onto the frame right. Going to have to do a little trimming this week. Also have to make a torque rod out of a piece of sprue. Oddly enough, my "by the book, by the numbers" boss, took pieces off sprues (all of them off on the batmobile) and lost one of the rear torque rods...So, my first attempt at improvising. 😊 Rough sanded and cut with dremel
