RSEscort's 1968 Ford Escort

Yes I know.. It's not a real Twin Cam car.. but you wouldn't modify a real one like this, because it would destroy the value.. sooo...

Car is a 68 shell, full reinforcing of the shell including double fire wall, Leda adjustable suspension all around, 5 link rear suspension with an Atlas rear axel. Started out on awful minilite wheels, but now has original RS alloys on it..

Brakes are Wilwood 4 pots up front and Audi TT calipers in back, with an adjustable bias box brake system and manually adjustable rear bias for fine tuning. Full Ashley exhaust. I just installed an aluminum fuel cell, which looks fab, but sorry no pics. I'll add them when I take some.

Front panel has been changed to the round headlamp type as well. Proper split bumpers and chin spoiler of course!

Curently running a 205 block pinto on Webers and a Sierra 5 speed. Good torque, but not the kind of power I am looking for... She also has a quick rack and short throw shifter. I am building a Twin Cam for it as we speak, but for now the pinto will have to do.. Too many projects on my plate.

Full Safety Devices roll cage, onboard fire extinguisher system, remote electric disconnect.. all the neat stuff. Car was a race car of course, but now it's a street car.

Seats have since been changed to Scat buckets, but no pics. I also got rid of the stupid dash and now have the dual pod with my own custom flat panel

It's been really hard to build this car here in Canada.. there is nothing around for it here at all, but the bonus is that I will probably never see another one on the road any time soon.

Really awesome mods done on that Mark 1. I'm so sad to hear about what happened to your Cortina Mark 1 Estate. What a ride to lose! 5 BIG stars for you on this ride too! Cheers!!! And, yes, you'll be the first to know if I'll be selling my wagon.
