Since my caged ranger is 99% done it is time to start on another project so here is my next money pit! I picked up this Barbie Ford Explorer off of Evilbay for $.99 and yes, I know it is pink, for now. It will be running TLT axles, pede tranny, and assorted cheap electronics. The Geolander tires will probably be narrowed to help keep them under the body which will get a nice coat of paint.  I tried to build the frame this weekend but aluminum is just not my thing so next weekend out comes the brake line  |

For a barbie car that thing is very accurate. Normally they end up looking like a clown car. What are the measurments on that?
