Does anyone have any ideas on how to maybe put a 95 front end (grill, bumper, head lights, etc.) on a 93? I do a lot of car shows and I am trying to come up with something a little different.

too late dude. Different has been done.

Perry's fab and fiber even makes a kit to do this, just do a search for it. Oh and BTW that mean orange pumpkin thats on the cover of this site, belongs to the site owner and it started life as a boxy early Explorer.....

Search for it and you will find so much info on this you will fall asleep reading it.

Youcan got to Perry's fab and fiber site and see pics galore. It;s a great looking mod when it;s done, and it will definatley help you stand out in shows, but most people will just think you have a later model X....

Now I saw a ranger a few years back with a Mustang nose clip on it, now that was original and really stood out in a car show..........Mustranger or something like that, one sweet truck!!!!!!!
 






I knew that it had been done, but there is nothing like that out here. The only thing close that I have seen is a 99 Ranger with a 98 x front end and a mustang rear end (gears, etc..)
 






Thanks for the info on perry's. Appreciate it.
 






what is the website for perry's?
 












if that doesn't work, you can always just put perry's fab and fiber in your search and it will come right up. That's what I did and they have some cool stuff for changing the boxy front end to the round one. It just doesn't say how much money that it cost.
 












i saw the actual name of the site the day after i posted last. sorry about the mix up.
 






I was going to do either the Perrys or steel front end on mine but it just aint custom enough for me. So I am leaning towards a Durango front end of a F-150..have to do some measureing to see about fitting. Why be normal!
 






I think with a Durango front end you will lose all respect from the true ford lovers on this site, and although I think an F-150 front end will be cool, it will be extremely hard to do because it's fullsize.
 






I am a customizer..if putting a front end on a truck losing respect..who cares..it gains business! And as far as the F-150..if the wheel wells are close then its not so bad..fenders and hoods can be cut to size and the 'glass bumper cover (aftermarket) can be sized. I am all about doing it different..and if I go the Durango route..it will have a solid mesh grill (not the stock quad section) and WILL have a FORD embelem in it! Plus with an aftermarket hood and a few touches..it wont look exactly like a Dodge front end..but dont know what to tell ya!!:eek:
 






I would just go with the Durango front end.
That would look really good, plus I've never seen something like that. The closest I have seen is a S-10 Blazer with a civic front end and a lexus rear end at East Coast Nationals in Richmond the last two days. It looked really good, so go with the Durango
