Welcome! The explorer was a first for Winnebago in the way it looks, getting away from the now iconic "eyebrow" look of their other models.
But the chassis, build, features and accessories are the same. Which is great when it comes to working on them and getting info.

Not sure if I'm doing this right, never joined a forum before. We are super excited to begin restoration on our Winnebago expo 74, just barely found out that's what it is, and read somewhere they only made 500 of them? Hard to find out anything about it, that's for sure.

I've been watching it looks like excellent framing and sculpture. In this vast shop of yours you don't by chance have a mini airless sprayer do you? That would make short and excellent work for your gel coating..Just flat even finishes.

Inside the box was a slip of paper saying that the new headers shouldn't be used but if you place fans at the headers to cool them off while the engine is running then you should be okay..

When I start my new engine, there will be no mufflers..because the old mufflers won't fit the new headers..So no back pressure..that will help keep the headers cool..

In regards to timing the engine before starting..UTG (uncle Tony's garage) has a video on how to set the timing by having the crank (engine not running) at 30 advanced..I think it is called static timing..

Having a timing light hooked up before start and the distributor locking nut loosened enough to twist it at first moments of running..

Any ways that is a ways off..but it is getting closer!!

Worked some more on the front fiberglass eyebrow..A good sanding is next and the the final gel coat to be applied..
