Completion of The Fast & Furious Lightning! 

Barely in the original movies but so iconic, You are right.

In all fairness. It’s an SVT product built under the great John Coletti. The fastest production truck for 5 straight years. Imo, that’s what makes it so iconic. Paul walker was cool, but he didn’t build it. All he did was scrape the front of it up. And since no one else has mentioned it….The turn signal mirrors. 👍nice truck!

Brian's Lightning was a sweet truck! We tried to make sure this refresh breathed the life back into this iconic Ford.

We love the Lighting. It ticks a lot of boxes for us. Hopefully you'll have your truck back and you'll get to fall in love all over again!

Was he? Or was he just fired?

Thank you for the support!

@@JustDriven You’re welcome!

Thank you!

Thank you!

No one loves the tuna.

You and all of us too! We are getting there. Parts hold up. And bumper drama. We are all excited to see these all move a little faster. Thank you for your patience and your support!

Thank you so much.

Thank you for your support!

Thank you!

Thank you kindly!

Awesome, thank you!

Thank you very much!

We knew it wouldn't take too long. We had a pretty solid base to start with!

Some things you can't unsee. So we just have to fix it.

Thank you for your support!

Thank you so much!

We packed up the APEX'i boxes for the Supra and we will be headed to Greddy next! Nothing for shipping is overnight lately! Always some kind of delays.

Thanks

Thank you for the support.

Thank you very much!

Every. Little. Detail. Thank you for the support.

It's really a fun truck! Yah, we even swapped as much as we could. Even the '99 windshield.

Nice! Your Lightning sounds tough!

We sure did. Adrian made short work of dialing in all the suspension refresh and the engine tune-up. Runs like a dream now!

Yah we prefer to take the long way around!

Glad you liked it.

Which one?

Thank you!

Ssshh! It's finished. No more. None. Stop.

I'm sure we could swing that!

We had a few issues finding them. It wasn't as easy as we had hoped but we finally got a decent set then had them cleaned up at our favorite wheel shop.

I’d never ever get rid of it ! I miss Paul walker 😢

It's a very fun and useful vehicle. We miss him too!

We thought about replicating that also, but then we wouldn't have any room for the Charger engine when we transport it back and forth to the builder.

We are very picky! We want only the best for our shop truck which we will be having to beat up a little bit now.

What kind of sticker did you have in mind?

A small decal sticker on the back of the tail gate or under the lighting badges with the lighting font that could say F&F Edition Or The Fast & Furious Edition. Just an idea

Oooo....Yah not a bad idea!

It really is a shame. His legacy and honor live on through all of us. Thank you for your support!

Not sure what you mean. We don't have any complaints about the bumpers.

We hope we did your dream truck some justice! Thank you for the support!

You definitely did guys use don't disappoint with your content keep up the good work. :) 🤟😎🤟

Thank you!

It is on both sides. If you watch the section with Rodney you'll see him applying the graphics to both the passenger and the driver side doors.

Sorry, we don't have this information on hand. If you reach out to @slinginpartsforharry on IG he could get you set up with a set.

The bed rail caps were refinished in house. We couldn't find any in time for us to complete the build so we removed the OE ones and refinished them to look brand new.

@@JustDriven How would someone be able to get those 2 parts? Would you guys happen to know ? Also for the refinishing process . Basically take out scuff marks or impurities(if any) and make them black again or how ? Thank you .

We contacted Ford dealers all over the country trying to find a set with no luck. Ours weren't in terrible shape so we were fortunate. We cleaned them up and stripped the impurities out off of them. Then we used a trim paint to bring them back up to a new look. Hope this helps.

No it was not.

They don't typically work well once we peel it off. 😂 But if you contact @Slinginpartsforharry on IG he should be able to get you a set.

That's exactly what it is. Nice catch. Ford and several other manufacturers used small key code pads as a security measure. Between us we couldn't think of a single person we've met he used them!

@@JustDriven This is a door code to unlock the doors. Simple as that :). They were not introduced on the lightnings until 2002. Amazing restoration.

Ohh the Hako? Its been doing a good job collecting dust, but that's gonna change soon!

The decals had to be perfect. It's why we reached out to @slinginpartsforharry to cook us up the best. The little nugget is Eggzy. Sometimes the eye boogers need to come off and we usually wipe them on Alex anyway! So it's fine. They make a few things with boxes that big! Check out their site and guess "what's in the box?!"

This truck is an automatic.

"It was crappy yesterday. It was crappy the day before. And guess what?..."

That really bothered us and just had to get fixed.

WE are the paint shop!

We will reach out to you if we still have it.

I’ll pay whatever your asking

Us too!

It is street legal. All factory parts. Smogged in California and registered.

Was that truck supercharged

'twas

See I thought it was supercharged do you know what the dyne hp and torc was

Google says: 380hp and 450lb-ft

The Jurassic Park Explorer would be fun as a tough off-road tribute!

It's made to look like the movie truck.

Hey Alan! We appreciate your enthusiasm for the Supra build, it's one of MANY builds we have. Were you able to catch the update last Wednesday? It explained where the car has been. What's your favorite part of the build so far?

@@JustDriven I love the whole thing. I just wish there was more of a follow along with the build. More detailed. It’s an amazing build, that I wish were more or better documented showing the work that goes into it. That car may arguably be one of the most if not the most important or iconic cars in movie culture of all time, and that’s coming from. a traditional hot rod guy. I don’t think I caught the Supra update video from last week, maybe i did. I’ll go back and check

You are right about how iconic the Supra is. We understand the love and admiration everyone has for the Supra, we feel the same way about it. Here at the shop we have roughly 12 builds going on (no exaggeration). We try and document as much as we can to share with everyone the details. We unfortunately cannot capture it all. Sorry if we can't get it all to show up in the videos. We are trying!

@@JustDriven well just think about this. I have been an automotive super fan for a long time. I follow a lot of builders in depth. You guys have some of the best, top notch, attention to detail that I have ever seen. I’m regards to RU-vid, instagram, TikTok. If you guys ramped the video production and social media team up, and pumped out more videos following the builds, from a financial standpoint, it would give even more revenue to your company, but also increase your popularity as a shop because the more videos you pump out, the more people would know about you

All a strong possibility. We just have to stop buying cars first.

No crust. None.
