Once again, new to the game...engine building
I'm just getting started on my first model in 15+ years...1999 Saleen Mustang...Anyways, I was wondering about the engine block...should this be glued before or after painting? I can see that it would be easier to paint as 2 pieces, but the paint presents some problems for gluing, and could get messy...What's the better approach?

Glue it then paint it to avoid anything going wrong

Welcome

Most definately glue before painting, some filling may be required to hide the join line.

Who makes the 99 Saleen? I want one. I have an older one, but would love to have a newer bodystyle saleen.

Made by Revell...It's not the latest Gen. body style...has the more rounded headlights/bodywork.

Still a sweet car.
