I finally started building this year's demolition derby truck - a 1993 Explorer. This will be the fourth 1st gen Explorer that I've built for this, so I'm hoping to be able to tweak some of the fail points from the last builds.
This is one of the cleanest ones I've had. Living in WI, the salt pretty much kills anything and everything. I figured this one was pretty solid but I was happy to see a fully intact floor when I pulled the carpet last night. The last one I built, even before running it. The floor was not attached to the rest of the body. The only thing holding most of the body to the frame was my cage.
Right now I'm still stripping all the unnecessary shit out of it. I'll update the thread when I actually start building. I've got quite a bit of wiring to go through and get rid of, as well as basically everything under hood besides the engine. The dash has to go, along with all glass, etc.
Here's some pics of how it looks right now. Pretty nice compared to some of the ones I've smashed. 😝
