Talking Journey with my excursion

Hi all -
I couldn't figure out how to get photos in my album! Silly I know- so I started a thread - that way I can find it to post my photos and update what's happening with my truck!

I have the leather samples for my seats - and it matches the paint! I was very excited. The seats are being made this week! I also ordered a vinyl flooring that should be here next week - I had the carpet pulled and I used Simple Green to clean it. It came out awesome, I was impressed. But the more I looked at the carpet the more I hated it. So I caved :

I ordered black!
I also ordered new headlights and tail lights - they should be in next week :

https://www.ebay.com/itm/99-04-Ford-...72.m2749.l2649
This is who is making my seats:
Auto Interior Designs ? Custom automobile interiors & Upholstery









The leather matches!!!!! I am very excited about this!



So this is where I am at as of today!!

Still deciding on how high I want the lift!

That sure is yellow! For sure gonna be one of a kind when you're finished!

Let us know how the headlights are...lots of different headlight choices out there. Looks like your rockers are in pretty good shape and the door bottoms as well!

Any other mods to the 7.3 planned? Keep it going!!

You're pics aren't showing up. I have no clue which website you're using to host your pictures, but either it doesn't allow hot linking or the web address is wrong because all I see are big minus signs.

Half your images show only a - sign, like they don't liek to be hotlinked. maybe it's just me. but from what I see that is a wild color combination, I'm interested to see the final result.

The yellow is cool, it sort of makes me thing it's a DOT vehicle, might be ignored by the police when speeding...
