Vinnie....... My god man you are really getting crazy with your L huh! Well its good to see you guys are still exploring the limits of these trucks and taking it to the next level. I miss the hell out of my 99 but I got into the diesel world now with my 6.7 cummins dodge ram, LOL! Kinda ironic with my name being RTKILLA but hey, its fun to play with. Already into the low 14's and I've barely done crap to it, air intake, computer programmer and exhaust from the DPF back.

Any of you guys need any extra L parts? I got a cruise control module, and brackets for it, couple pulleys and some other misc crap laying round the garage.

 

 

Yo Joe...can I borrow your Sawz-All? I need to yank my tranny...

 

Wow, RT is still alive!

 

Joe I love you like a red headed step child that just raped my sister
But that was funny

Oh ya btw it's me Rob_02Lightning
or is it Rob_99Lightning
or maybe Rob_99GT
or Rob_06SRT8
or Rob_mitsiwhateverthehelltheycallit
or Rob_00Lightning
or Rob_05Sport Trac
and to think thats only the last 12 - 16 months : o () "YIKES"
or about 1/2 the time V's been waiting for his Lightning

 

Throw in a set of injectors, fuel system, and a larger turbo and you'll be faster than your old Lighting. You'll have to build the trans first.

Upping the Ante! A MICHIGAN build. (one of several chassis Lightnings that are being built in Michigan) muah ah ah

Mighty fine looking Beast in the Building there

Now of course I have my opinion on when is a L not a L anymore...
Someone pinning a few look a like parts on a tubular frame is def pushing it, but then again lets face it most of the Worlds Top ET Lightnings are NOT Lightning's anymore (although some look the part) AMOF some like Johnny's look frigging amazing and I'd die to own it

I do feel V is doing something differant than the rest though, he started with a full fledge Lightning Full Chassis AND THEN added to it (added big time I may add). One has to believe his will weigh more than a Stock Lightning with all that added steel. Although he may have to give up a couple of factory comforts to make way for a legal cage, and beef up the chassis to make room for a 4link and legal rear/axle combo, the bottom line is he will have a full interior and all the original body panels and glass. And he plans to drive it on the street and for it to have the drivability to be driven on the street.

 

Updated pics. finished up most of the bars. Next will be the holder for dual batteries and the fuel cell.

 

V all this work, wondering if you are going to change the paint?

 

The chassis looks sweet !!! I hope to have my hooptie at that stage by next month, body off the frame anyway.

Anyway, here's the wheels I told you about earlier...
