Champagne dream

If you have an automotive paint store local to you they should be able to mix up some paint that is more tolerant to solvents in a rattle can but it’ll be $30 a can at least.
 
I finally pulled her out of the garage and got her driving, I still have a lot to do to get it out n the dirt. The Vss was a bit of a challenge with getting the number of teeth, I thought I’d use a abs ring but the math didn’t add up for the calibration so I had to make my own

Been a while since I’ve updated this, but I got the truck out to Barstow the end of April, truck did good first time out with only very minor issues. I did nail a rock and get a flat in the first 20 miles or so. But the back is painted, lights wired, and lately I’ve been working on a new stereo which will force me to do the aluminum on the inside.

Glad to see another obs ford out there in the dirt! Do you have any photos or any info on that black crew cab you’re parked next to?
 
There was a build thread back in the DR days. I don’t have any of the pictures anymore.

1997 F250 CCSB
460
E4OD
Extended D50 TTB’s 4” each side
2.5” King C/O and Bypass up front.
Custom Deavers in the rear w/ 3” King bypass

I have a DD Link kit from Giant, need some Coilovers and we’ll be ready for the next step.
 
Not much of an update, but I’m slowly plugging away at the interior. I’ll finish off the inside then get back to aluminum outside, and start doing things like shock work, alignment, and new shackle bushings
