Re: Anyone here running a EXP??
Al back in 86 I had a sharp looking 82 EXP with keystone classics on it.I would have loved to still had it when I started my ranger I would have built it instead of the ranger.I like the earlier model with the bug eyed headlights not the Escort EXP model.I think they are cool little cars.

Re: Anyone here running a EXP??
FYI, Hairy Glass makes the early frog-eye front end. The Escort Exp isnt a bad looking car either. Only thing the 86=88 models have a taller windsheild and doors. So the glass and doors wont fit a early body. Been researching them.
AND YES, I'M LOOKING FOR ONE Anyone have a bare body for one?, or bones? Gonna keep the Maverick for Graham.
A Mercury LN7 would be okay too.
Thanks.

There was one in the wrecking yard by my house Al. If you want, I'll look and see if it's still there.

I think so Gordon. I dont know how much. Ive been trying to get in touch with people running them. There were some at Norwalk, but I wasnt looking for one then
Doug, I would be interested in that car if its straight, and reasonable priced. That will give me another excuse to stop by Schmittys....
Thanks.

There's a red escort exp on the way to daycare here in Murray. I can get some pics. I looked at it, prolly be a good tube chassis candidate.

Hey Al. I'll try and get up and get those pics today. Been busy workin' on my neighbor's dad's truck. He wants me to build a sbc for it. Except for the last couple of days, I was up in the elk woods tryin' to stick a bull with the bow. I'll call ya as soon as I get the pics.
