1992 Ford Bronco

[ScaleModelRestoration]

Turning a MPC 1981 Ridge runner Bronco into a 1992....
Have the body almost done and ready for the first coat of primer.
but i am missing the axles so this may get delayed for alittle while.




The black lower 1/4 panels are from a 92 short box which i cut up to fit,and had to cut in the new taillite area.........one i got everything to fit....

I have the body in two coats of primer now, so i wil be able to check for body work needed etc.....



Will also be removing the side scripts,and putting the door lines back in.

Well i have it painted,and wet sanded.still debating wether to add white in the middle of the body (which i am leaning torwards alot) But i did paint the lower half of the body white then painted the whole thing with red metallic........gives it a suttle tu-tone now kinda a orangish color on the bottom.....

Final Clear coats on,should be able to polish her some more....




The Upper wrap around over the roof i puttied in the other day and got it all smoothed out and it looks blended in well.......also the back door edge i did get back in....


Except for lookin inside and see the cut body lines you cant tell on the outside i used three different kits to get this body........

Alittle pressed for time so i wont be able to go into details to much, just wanted to get the new pics out.....

Just about done with this project and its taken shape real well!!!
I had to borrow the front 4x4 axles from another build i did last year till the new ones come in,and wanted to move along on this project...
A run down on the list of parts used...(81 bronco MPC)
Front engine member from 81 bronco grafted in
front 4x4 axle from 81 bronco
rear sub frame from 81 bronco
transfercase from 81 bronco
interior tub was cut and grafted the 92 front to it, and had to fill in the floor on the 81 bronco to make it flat.....
engine is from 92 kit reworked the aod for the trasnfercase to work.
92 ford rearend cut to fit (narrowed it a tad)
need to locate a rear bumper for it and get the decals in place under the hood and i can call it done.
the back cap is alittle warped so once i get some gear in the back i will be able to glue it down..
