Looks good Brent, when do we expect it to be finished?

[Kenny Pollock]

x2 on looks good and when will it be finished?

Also, you can answer via PM if you want, I'm just curious why you're not having Donnie do it? Time constraints?

Good luck dude!

[ONE_LO_SVT]

Donnie has my ranger, if he had this too i wouldnt see both till God knows when. "should" be done before May 19th

[OneLowRanger]

bad ass! How will you know which one to drive?;)

[draggindually93]

pssh looks like ass, LOL

[c.nash]

Looks good. You going with a panhard or watts?

[ONE_LO_SVT]

the KP kit comes w/ a panhard, they dont make a bolt in watts for a 150 yet.

[BodyRoadSparks]

welds on the frame look like crap! haha

[Little_Jason]

good luck with the build

[doogstein]

Seth time for an update.

[ONE_LO_SVT]

Look at Seth's cute shoes!

[doogstein]

looks sweet keep up da good work boys

[dragginmazda]

lookin good brent

[Slammed Longbed]

Nices .Is the front bolt on as well ?

[ONE_LO_SVT]

nah, well kinda, UCA/LCA's with bolt on KP link Cups for the RE6's, but a F***load of relocating

[91slonomast]

looks pretty damn good man
i think i saw you at slamfest, you were pulling a trailer getting ready to load a truck, i was with joe in the red xtreme, pretty sure that was you.

[doogstein]

nope wouldnt have been him this truck hasnt made it to any shows yet

[91slonomast]

even with the lightning?

[doogstein]

yea no truck has never been to any shows before although it will be goin to quite a few of em in the future right marks

[91slonomast]

lol it was a silver lightning and thought he said his name was brent......guess im wrong. trucks lookin good, you gonna do any performance stuff to it?

[ONE_LO_SVT]

nah man, not me. Will def. be taking it to alot of florida shows, gas is too high to take it out of state. If i come into alot of money in the future i'll def. build up the motor and slap a polished Whipple on it, but in the mean time my pullies, chip, exhaust, intake and other little bits will be suffice. still want to get headers though.


On another note a bit of a update


Shit KP bars have been shipped back to Kp to be replaced should be here next week, Front gets started on monday.

Got new trainhorns for her, a set of NATHAN P3 Airchimes as well as some power SS calvu mirrors.

[doogstein]

man i cant wait to get this thing on da street n just fuck wit people. good times in da makin marks.

[Dat Douche]

Your gonna have to let me hear the P3 one day when its done.

[ONE_LO_SVT]

ITS LOUD! we got 110psi on it just for shits and giggles and it sounds much more like a train than the 4 pc. cant wait to have 150-200psi on it

[SaltyOnionBalls]

There was a few bagged lightnings @ Unite if I'm not mistaken.


It's coming together, I bet you can't wait to drive this thing.

[ONE_LO_SVT]

trucks out of the shop, drove it to the boat last night, drove fine, no problems EXCEPT the rear fenders were not trimmed enough and during the drive home the tire rubbed the whole way home, and i didnt even realize it, when i got to the boat i looked at the tire and there was No more sidewall, and the lip of the rim was worn right down to metal. So now 3 out of 4 rims are fucked and need to be repainted/repaired.

Work still needed:

Gauge Lights

I need to put in the Explorer brake booster cause the wheel hits when fully laid

Need to get some bumper brackets made

Rear Rollpan Shaved (jon at epicenter)

drag blocks put in

Bump stops on axle

New Stereo put back in

smooth bed caps and tailgate cap and shaved wiper cowl installed.

Antenna shaved, hood squirters shaved, doors fixed, drivers door dent pulled

Nathans p3 horn installed

a low pro fuel cell

and truck eventually repainted.

the truck is currently at SteadFast Liners in Deerfield as we speak getting a spray in bed liner, saw some of there work and it looked awesome, they actually removed a customers lineX bed today and replaced it w/ thers, and there price is only 460 for all prep work needed (i have welds that need to be ground smooth) and 4 coats of the liner. pick it up tomorrow so will have pics.

I def. need to look at getting some bigger bags up front the RE6's just arent enough will need custom cups made for em, or mod the ones i have now.

[BodyRoadSparks]

dont need bigger bags just a higher psi pressure switch

[ONE_LO_SVT]

yeah i talked to timmy, but i'm going to pick one up pronto, but it will prolly burn up the comps. alot faster.

[SaltyOnionBalls]

You didnt here it rubbing or smell the rubber?

and it doesn't clear the 20s when fully lifted? That sucks.

[draggindually93]

i cant believe you didnt notice the tire rubbing, but glad to see its done!

[ONE_LO_SVT]

You didnt here it rubbing or smell the rubber?

and it doesn't clear the 20s when fully lifted? That sucks.

Nah, i didnt hear anything out of the norm, and it was the rear and never smelt a thing, def sucks, but such is life, prolly just going to sand all the lips down, tape em up as best i can and shoot some black on em, shouldnt be too noticeable.

And the 22's clear by about 2-3 inches but at like 150psi. and they'll only go up to 120 w/ the compressors off.

[draggindually93]

you didnt see all the smoke behind you?? i know when my tires were rubbing as soon as i looked in the mirror i knew lol

[ONE_LO_SVT]

man i was checking all the mirrors the whole way down and never saw a thing, i think it might of just been when i got close and was a little switch happy and might of dropped it a lil too low, i'm still learning. hopefully the bed liner comes out nice and cheers me up a bit. anyone know a good wheel repair shop in south florida?

[doogstein]

marks i kno a guy that fixes wheels ill try n talk 2 him tomorrow for u. def aint gona be cheap though. ill get a price from him wen he gets da chance to see da wheels.

[ONE_LO_SVT]

aight dan, i figure if its more than 150 for each wheel might as well buy new ones, i dont think it will be that much though, all they need is paint on 2, and the actual repair on that one.

[doogstein]

for the 2 wit paint u might as well just do that urself honeslty but for da one dat actually needs fixing hes gona have to see it before he gives me a price.

[SaltyOnionBalls]

Ah gotcha, hard to notice in the rear.

Man I'm glad I got 18s lol. I ride with 60psi in the front and 10psi in the rear, at every turn and every bump I drag but nothing rubs severely. Can't wait til I go with the 15" smoothies with a BIG white wall tire. :D

Congrats on getting the truck back, now go enjoy it!

[BodyRoadSparks]

he can now lift to 150 with no problem. his pressure switch was restricting him.

[ONE_LO_SVT]

yesir, and i just spent the past hour trimming out the wheel well, and i really had to trim ALOT! and it still could use more, i tried to make it as clean as possible, its only about 1/4 inch lip now compared to the about 3/4 inch before hand, didnt have to cut so much out of the pass. side. I really need to get bump stops and drag blocks put on to keep me from going to low in the rear. But i'm not going to bradenton now, need to drive the lightning local before i make a long trip just in case, so i will bring it out to Packys tmorrow night. gonna spend most of the day tomorrow putting the sidesteps, bed caps, mirrors, and wiper cowl on, and raise the bumper, then have a go at painting the rims.

[draggindually93]

haha put it up on jack stands and put it in gear so the wheel turns and just hold the brush in one spot and you can paint the hole lip lol

[ONE_LO_SVT]

hahah, i just stick to tape, plastic, and a spray can lol

looks good, i like the polished lip. bed liner looks good too

[dragginmazda]

lookin good brent

[Dat Douche]

Looks good, saw it at Boca on sat but no one was around it when me and my friend got there. There were a couple people by it when we were leaving but I wasn't sure if it was you guys.

Draggin on Lox road?

[ONE_LO_SVT]

yesir, gotta love loxahatchee.

Well got a alignment today and while it was on the lift noticed a couple SERIOUS PROBLEMS that i'm not too happy about. 1

st one, Major one, the bed floor is not level, drivers side is about 1/2-5/8 inch higher than passenger and once you realize it it really sticks out like a sore thumb and now that its linexed there aint really much i can do about it. and the bed also looks like its on crooked, theres about a 2 1/2 gap on passenger side from the bed to the cab, and theres about a 3inch gap on the drivers side.
Dont know if this is just not and bolt adjustments or what.

2nd, notched one of the crossmembers for the driveshaft and it wasnt notched enough and its rubbing, then theres a 2nd crossmember behind that one that the gas tank bolts too, and that one wasnt notched at all and Rubs BAD!!! i've taking at least a 1/8 of a inch off the driveshaft.

and the last one is the 4 link bushings, i'd say 6 of them are already shot, and i havnt even driven the truck for more than 3 days. dont know if thats kp or if the bars were overtightened?

so thats about it right now, other than those problems everything is for the most part ok, there is a leak in one of the t's in the back and front, dont know how to tighten?

[ONE_LO_SVT]

emailed KP about the bushings, and there going to send me out 10 replacements free of charge, so thats cool.

[SaltyOnionBalls]

Looks good, bringing it out friday?

[ONE_LO_SVT]

yeah prolly if its not in the shop, the driveshaft rubbing really has me worried.

[blzrx02]

ur more than likely gonna need more bushings...i havent driven my truck more than 50 miles and have changed ALL the bushings at least once...was told by kp theyy got a bad batch and got my first set for free

[THE REVERAND]

DONT LET THEM CUT THE CROSSMEMBERS IT NEEDS A CARRIER BEARRING!!!!some shops that will remain unnamed will just cut out the cross members on the cab(and weaken the integrity of the cab) that is NOT the right way to do it. AND IF IT KEEPS RUBBING THE DRIVESHAFT WILL BREAK AND DAMAGE YOUR TRUCK FURTHER.just my .02 worth...

[flnole78]

http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p209/frameroadsparks/Random/P7040049.jpg

you can see here how its lower

You can clearly see by the tailgate that the left side of the bed floor is lower than the right. Just curious but how much did you pay for the bed floor? Not that price should be an issue b/c the work should have been done to the best of the builder ability regardless.

[Baggednissan95]

Excuses Excuses i cant go here my alignment i cant go there i have bad bushing ohh it dont move we screwed up the pivot :lol: better get that schedule right for slamfest u can swing it a day early....

Love
Doug

[JHammond53]

You agreed to do the bed floor for X amount of money...I am sure the agreement wasn't "hey since you are getting such a good deal on the bed floor I will put it in uneven for you."

[LayedTrac]

Why not talk to Timmy about it then Brent? I've never bashed RAW on the internet for my truck. Anything I didnt like I called up Anthony myself. I don't know the whole story with Brents just tid bits I was given. So like everyone else I'm just going to throw out my opinions.

[draggindually93]

so i said i wasnt going to get involved in this, but the bed floor was done for free. and anyone who has ever raised a bed floor knows how much work it is to do and how hard it is to get it right. if someone can say that they have raised a bed floor and never had to shim anything then more power to them. but in my experiance that is next to impossible.

[BIG RYAN]

ill give you that, raising a bed floor is not the easiest thing to do, BUT, being off by 3/4" - 1" is not okay in my book. thats simple tape measure opperator, and measurment error. being and 1/4" off is one thing, but 3/4" - 1" is unexceptable for 2 reasons. 1- you make the customer unhappy (as we see here). 2- people start to question your work.


and that being "the worst pic ever" has nothing to do with weather or not the floor is crooked.



im not trying to start shit or piss people off but clearly that bad was not built as well as it could have been. i noticed the height of the sides before i read the post where brent made note of it. so take that how you will. :D

[LayedTrac]

All I'm saying it should be handled between you and Timmy. I can't give a opinion on this because its assumed to be biased towards Timmy.

Accidents happen Brent. My console was chipped up bad and needs to be repainted. My bed has a mark on it from the link bar. A few other nicks and dings.

[ONE_LO_SVT]

these pics are not to bash anyone, there simply to show what will need fixing.

[draggindually93]

that pin is only a 1/4" off.

[layenbodyon24s]

ok cool soo u start shit sayen the floor is off 3/4 of an inch then measer your self and is is correct as for the tail gate when i built the bed i had to loosen the hinges so if u had any commen sence u would see the to bolts drop the hinge there u go tailgate even net issue being crooked had u not been in a rush and taken the tailgate away from me i could have see then bed in the light i could have shifted for you these are all nut and bolt adjustment u also adjusted the the pan hard that would move the rear end over to make my front cut rub and i never had the front air all the way up with rear hammered to see that it would ever rub second crossmember this is y i want to drive it the next day im sorry but dont u hear metal spiining on metal and think mabe something is wrong here,

[layenbodyon24s]

yes that should fix your problem

[LayedTrac]

:plus1: with Dave. For the benefit of both parties.

[SaltyOnionBalls]

Keep it off the forums please, we don't need more "Kenny" drama. :rolleyes:

:drama:

[ONE_LO_SVT]

ok, i apologize for letting this thread get way too personal, i deleted all my negative posts, i was just in the heat of the moment, and today was just one of those days. Thanks Timmy, loosening up the tailgate hinges pretty much fixed that problem, need a bit more tweaking but its not bad. now as far as sliding the bed to the correct location, is that as easy as loosening all the bed bolts and sliding to correct location?

[layenbodyon24s]

apology accepeted as for the bed yes lossenen the bolts and shifting should fix the rear may have to be made alittle bigger seeing as the arent factory like the front i can help this weekend if ud like these were all little adjustment problem man hope ur day get better

[BodyRoadSparks]

and they both lived happily ever after.
THE END.

[SaltyOnionBalls]

:rotf:

[BIG RYAN]

hey if i offended anyone, im sorry. my comments were not suposed to be mean or arrogant. i didnt mean to step on people toes. none of this stuff is my business anyway, so i am no longer part of this convo. and again, my apologies.

[doogstein]

leave it. its wat makes a lightning a lightning.

[doogstein]

since my post now no longer makes any sense i was talking about keeping the body kit on the lightning.

[ONE_LO_SVT]

lol, sorry dan i deleted it

Well i went to talk with Bob at Madmods on saturday, and if he's willing i'm going to have it dropped off at his shop while i'm away.

-He will relocate all air management to one location under the bed, not a tank here and tank there comp. here comp there, it will all be together. and train horns put on
-Fuel tank will try to be moved and if it is too large a fuel cell will be ordered
-Doors shaved, antenna shaved, hood shaved
-New Crossmembers made or originals fixed
-Everything under the hood that will need relocating will be relocated and everything needed to make front lay frame will be done.
-passenger wheel well cut out and drivers side cleaned up, the cuts arent too pretty
-i'm going to leave the bed alone, although it is not level, its hard to notice with the tailgate on
-Body kit WILL come off. the body kit is lower than the frame, it just doesnt make sense to destroy it, i might hold on to it and just bolt it on for shows, but for everyday driving it will be off.
-A drag bar/rollpan protector will be made for the rear, Bobs done a few for some f150s and he has a really good design

thats about it for now, i leave for a trip on friday, will be back in October, plan is right now to drop the lightning off with him while i'm away and he just goes at, would be nice if its finished by time i get back but if its not no biggie, ranger should be done by then lol, i figure 11 months is enough time to get that one done.

[ONE_LO_SVT]

goes into madmods in two weeks, gonna have someone drive it down, prolly Dan. So for sure the truck will be made to lay frame, whatever necessary to do so will be done, everything relocated to one area under bed, new trainhorns put etc etc. so will hopefully have it back on the road when i get back in October.

[dooredranger]

Thought u didnt want it to lay out?

[SaltyOnionBalls]

He was stupid to go thru bagging it not to make it lay, I'm glad you changed your mind. :thumbsup:

[ONE_LO_SVT]

well, the rear would always lay out, it was the front that had me worried. And from what timmy was telling me ALOT was needed to be cut out, and he was warning me about the structural integrity and that got me worried so i said no. and pretty much by me making the decision to not cut up the front i thought i'd get the truck back earlier......

But with the way the front is right now, i really have no choice but to go through with it, drivers side goes way lower passengers hits the wheel well hard, drivers side also lays on the booster and computer, not to mention the cuts will need to be addressed, already rusting alot and just dont look good, and after talking with Bob, he said i will be fine, he's done a few f150's and knows exactly what will need to be done, and we all know how good his work is so i wont have to worry about a shit getting f****d up even with me being thousands of miles away. i cant wait, and me personally think the L will look sick laying frame w/o the bodykit, people will be like "o another f150 laying frame blah blah blah...o shit nevermind that things a lightning" lol

[ONE_LO_SVT]

I need some ideas for a paint scheme.

Right now it's between hot rod flats silver
Hot rod flats black
2tone hot rod flats silver and black
Or just the stock silver

[draggindually93]

stock silver

[OneLowRanger]

sonic blue :drool:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v674/o3tlson19s/Lightningon23s6-2-06004.jpg

[ONE_LO_SVT]

i just dont want someone to come up and key my new glossy paint, thats why i want to go flat again, i love the look of flat.

Still really considering "murdering" out the L. All flat black everything, tint the tails, already got limo tint, got the black rims.

[The Dave Inc.]

sonic blue :drool:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v674/o3tlson19s/Lightningon23s6-2-06004.jpg
purple





:lol:

[dragginmazda]

if you want to murder it out go for it
Ill do up a sticker for it lol Brent marks specail addition in chrome lol
or just BM addition but turn the b around and murge it with the M

[ONE_LO_SVT]

LOL, and I'll get some custom caps for the engine bay. No but seriously I think flat black would look sick on the lightning, no?

[ONE_LO_SVT]

so it goes into madmods next week, finally.

Talked to Bob last weekend and this is whats on the agenda...

Rework suspension, mainly front relocate everything clean it all up and fit it for re7's and get it laying frame
Fit all air managment to one location under bed.
2 480's with a 9 gallon metallic silver tank
shave doors and antenna and gas tank
mold side steps,
mold bed rails,
mold rollpan and rear side steps.
mold/shave taillights w/ caddies.
smooth rear window molding
replace slider with one piece window
fix all body work and prep for paint
paint metallic silver w/ airbrushed hood
smooth out some of the dash
Very possibly swap L seats for '65 galaxie bench seat (need thoughts on this) i'll post pics of the seat tomorrow
and eventually a nice fiberglass enclosure behind the seats.

[Dat Douche]

I wonder how Competition Orange would look

http://www.fordpower.net/gallery/data/500/medium/cobra2.jpg

[doogstein]

nah korey i think that color would be too gaudy honestly. just my opinion.

[droppedblacks10]

I wonder how Competition Orange would look

http://www.fordpower.net/gallery/data/500/medium/cobra2.jpg

I would say just like the picture you posted ;) I think you should stick with the blue or stock silver.

[doogstein]

what do you guys think bout the grilles? go back to stock or paint em black or keep em as is?

[LayedTrac]

Dont swap your buckets for a bench.

[blackz151]

Dont swap your buckets for a bench.
x2

[Dat Douche]

what do you guys think bout the grilles? go back to stock or paint em black or keep em as is?

Paint it, I just painted my billet grill with black Duplicolor spray on bedliner.

[JHammond53]

pic of seat http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s273/davidmarks7/seat.jpg

looks comfy :sleep:

[ONE_LO_SVT]

i know and it is. i figure clean it up a bit, its in perfect shape less some surface rust and the chrome side pieces needing some TLC. but its pretty bad as for 40+ yrs old

[ChaseSmith]

Keep the stock suede Lightning seats, they rock the deuce for sure

[ONE_LO_SVT]

i'm going to go all out on this truck now though, and i dont think the lightning seats are going to cut it, at least in the condition their in.

anyways i need paint ideas. I'm going to change the color, i want something very sick, but nothing like any stock L color.still thinking like a metallic orange/copper?

[LayedTrac]

Get the buckets recovered then.

[doogstein]

wat bout candy brandywine from HOK? thats a very sick and classy color that no other lightning out there would have.

[doogstein]

maybe use that color and two tone it with the stock silver. that would look awesome if done correctly

[ONE_LO_SVT]

its in the shop getting everything done, here's the color scheme i'm shooting for right now. let me know whatchu think

http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s273/davidmarks7/untitled.jpg

[doogstein]

after looking at both pics im voting for the blue on bottom n black on top. i think the blue on bottom looks better cuz its a nice dominant color and looks awesome with the wheels.

[EpicenterDesigns]

I dig the rendering. Black on the bottom and the blue on top looks good.

I like it so much I am gonna make you a rollpan.... :rofl:

[ONE_LO_SVT]

haha really jon? That would be so awesome!!! I've scoured the net and noone has done that with the rollpan so it def will be 1off. Save your tenchnoque cause I'm sure I can sell alot of other 150 owners on it. But yeah I like the black on bottom and blue on top as well.

[RoRo]

I'm really diggin' the color scheme. :thumbsup:

[THE REVERAND]

paint scheme looks good...hope you pic some one reputable to spray it.

[ONE_LO_SVT]

yeah I think I've finally found a one stop shop for everything, he does some sick work and has made many magaZines. Gonna cost me alot more money, but you get what you pay for, but I can safely say it won't take 11 months and shit will actually get done the way it should be.

[BIG RYAN]

:lmfao:

[NomaOnAir]

The rendering looks sick ..


yeah I think I've finally found a one stop shop for everything, he does some sick work and has made many magaZines.

But honestly IMO that means shit , bondo and a camera can hide alot !
( not saying that is the case with your dude , but Im just sayin')

[ONE_LO_SVT]

But honestly IMO that means shit , bondo and a camera can hide alot !
( not saying that is the case with your dude , but Im just sayin')

I hear ya, and that's pretty much what just happened to me, but I've seen plenty of this guys projects and vehicles and I know he's not one of them.

[ONE_LO_SVT]

Well went and checked it out today.
This was the first week its really got some good work into it, and man am i impressed. Starting to look really good, and real clean and organized rather than a tank here, tank there, compressor here, compressor there like before.

Rick the past owner/operator of Wicked Customs is doing the suspension work. He's pretty much there with the rear, he cut the crossmember with that cylinder off, think its something with the brakes, and relocated it a bit further forward.
Fabd a new crossmember to mount the trainhorns and compressors.
Recessed some brackets in the frame rail for the tank to mount and have the bed clear with still a good inch or so.
Watts Link comes in hopefully this weekend, to eliminate the panhard bar
We did away with the manifold setup, just wasnt working for everything, the front was to inaccessible so it will be moved to the rear, and the rear valves will just mount directly to the tank. the top tank port will get a hardline directly to the trainhorns with a valve in between to look like its "floating"
He is going to reinforce the notch with a bar going across the frame, cause he feels its would be much safer, especially with the torque the truck has.
Gas tank should be fine, but we will try and raise it up a bit.
He going to redo all the crossmembers that were causing the problems with the driveshaft and that pretty much does it for the rear.

Front should get redone this weekend,
We'll have all the previous cuts cleaned up and looking good, cut out the passenger side, relocate everything properly, and get it laying frame. Rick said he should have most of it done this weekend, and the rest by next week. then its off to Bob to get the body work and paint done. and i cant wait, we got some nice ideas to tweak that paint scheme with some airbrushing and some graphics so it should come out looking awesome.

Well heres a few pics i took before it got too dark.

[ace1352]

looking good man

[ONE_LO_SVT]

thanks. And just a correction, all the valves will be mounted to the tanks, we will do a slowdown setup with the dumps, and a drain valve will go on the bottom port.

[95 Ranger]

Nice and Clean truck man, I like it!

[ONE_LO_SVT]

thanks.

[blzrx02]

good shit man i know rick he does awesome work... cant wait to see the finished product

[ONE_LO_SVT]

i dont know what i want to do with the tailights, part of me wants to shave them, another part likes the whole stock light look. Should i keep em, and paint over them? keep em fully red, keep the molding thing thats on em now, and just paint that to match?

And i've come to the conclusion to shave the License plate box, i just ordered the AVS plate retractor, going to put it in the front of the bed by the rear window.

[95 Ranger]

IMO, Shave it.

[AcroRigo]

nice P3!

[ONE_LO_SVT]

nice P3!

thanks, i hope i wont be dissapointed with that purchase. Their loud right? lol

I'm 50/50 on the shaving of the tail lights, more like 60/40 60 being keeping them. I'm already spending too much cashola, and to mold those tail lights wont be cheap.

[95 Ranger]

^ yea I hear ya, either way still a nice truck.

[BIG RYAN]

you can always shave them in a year or so if you dont like them. :idk:
:D

[ONE_LO_SVT]

yeah, but i'm getting the paint done now )-: def dont want to pay to have it painted again.

[AcroRigo]

thanks, i hope i wont be dissapointed with that purchase. Their loud right? lol

I'm 50/50 on the shaving of the tail lights, more like 60/40 60 being keeping them. I'm already spending too much cashola, and to mold those tail lights wont be cheap.

Should be putting out 152 dbs at 150psi

[ONE_LO_SVT]

and what was the 4 pc i had? in the 40's? like is it going to be alot louder? lol i hope so, i cant wait. have a 1/2 smc just for it.

[AcroRigo]

should be louder the s4's are in the high 140's low 150s too ...

[ONE_LO_SVT]

none the less, i'm excited, if it wasnt for hornblasters this scene would not be the same. lol

[AcroRigo]

none The Less, I'm Excited, If It Wasnt For Hornblasters This Scene Would Not Be The Same. Lol

Lmao!!!

[ONE_LO_SVT]

A few more updates. Not as much done this past weekend, most of the time was spent trying to get the front manifold set up out lol. but rear is just about hooked up, just going to get rid of the compressor relays for a solenoid, run the airline, and get the Watts Link on. Then on to the front.

[ONE_LO_SVT]

thanks bro, just now saw that post.

heres some more rear suspension updates. Watts Link is in (will paint the gold bars,
silver, thats just how they came)
battery is relocated, crossmembers notched, notch support bar in, everything wired up and just about plumped. Now its on to the front.

[Ven's Wifey]

Very nice truck

[mrmobley]

I like it man. Will you have a full bed floor or cut out?

[ONE_LO_SVT]

yeah, I have a full raised bed floor with black sprayin liner.

[ONE_LO_SVT]

well went by and saw it today. Bed is on, front suspension work is done, however he has to cut into the firewall, we didnt think we would have to but after measuring and more measuring it had to be done, so its going to be there for another week or two. He's hoping just one more week, but it might be two. But everythings looking good. He put the stock control arms back on, flipped the balljoint w/ a c10 balljoint, flipped the tierod and done... get a little less camber too but not much. so hopefully one more week to cut and tub the firewall, may put some trailer fenders in, not sure yet, and then to the body shop. here's some pics.

nice truck man

[blzrx02]

nice bet u cant wait to get it back can u

[ONE_LO_SVT]

thanks TJ and you have no idea! but i'm not trying to rush this one.

[Dat Douche]

Looking really good man, should be really nice when it's finished. The guy doing the work looks like he does clean work, all the stuff in the back looks clean and organized unlike on a lot of other trucks I see.

And stop taking pictures of my boat, R8, and Bentley.

[ONE_LO_SVT]

Well just got it back from Rick, so the suspension is done, going to drive it around for a day, then drop it off w/ bob for the body work. But i drove it home and no rubbing and no problems, everythings been relocated and cleaned up, now i just need Bob to smooth out and paint the firewall to have it look awesome. I dont think i'll ever drag it though, gas tank is still just too close, so i'm going to treat it like a bodydropped show truck, just drive low and slow, but no dragging, for now at least. and the other truck is my new daily, the 07 canyon.

[ONE_LO_SVT]

yeah it will be, I bought the AVS retractable.

[blzrx02]

[2xtreme]

[draggindually93]

[mrmobley]

Lookin good Brent. I bet your happy shes back! Canyon is looking sick! Get it some medicne! lol

[ONE_LO_SVT]

Thanks guys, well the lightning is back in madmods new shop in pompano to start the body work, will keep everyone posted on the progress. As for the canyon I think the wheels came out good, but I'm not doing anything else to it for a long time but it's good enough for the time being. Gotta say though, I love the new GM much better than my old rangers.

[dube2]

i'm not much of a ford man but that lightning is sick dude, nice job

[Chvys10]

gas tank to low... thats what blocks are for :yes:

[ONE_LO_SVT]

i hear ya ej, lol, and thats what we'll prolly do. but not just yet.

[Mel]

Looks good man. Cant wait to see it when it comes back. Mad Mods does some awesome work.

[ONE_LO_SVT]

thanks ^^^,
Heres A little update, the Bed Steps are "molded", just not smoothed yet, he hopes to have them all smoothed this week, he's got to touch up the rollpan a little bit off the truck, then he will mold that on next week. Also planned for next week is the smooth bed caps, and the door templates are mate so those should be shaved next week as well.

She's getting there, cant wait till she's done.

[ONE_LO_SVT]

^ Thanks man, i think it turned out great! cant wait for it to get smoothed in and sprayed. Thanks Jon @ epicenter for doing the rollpan, after a little tweaking and some filler it smoothed right out.

its gonna be a bad ass truck when its done.

[ONE_LO_SVT]

thanks ryan, i think so too.

[doogstein]

I take that since the front end is apart Bobs prob workin on the front bumper now? Truck looks sick marks cant wait to go to da shop n see it in person.

[mrmobley]

I cant wait to see this thing all finished.

[ONE_LO_SVT]

yeah eventually he will get to the bumper. but its coming along... You guys cant wait??? imagine how i feel, its been a year now since i first had the L cut up, only driven it for a week or 2 since

[bbennett08]

real nice i wanna see pics

[ONE_LO_SVT]

Not much has been done since the last pics were taken. Since i'm leaving in 2-3 weeks for the Mediterranean for about 5-6 months, we're going to space the build out a little longer, so that when i come back it'll be ready for paint and interior. But hopefully by the end of next week the suicide doors should be done and some shaving.

[droppedblacks10]

You ever decide on a color yet or are you still trying to get ideas?

[ONE_LO_SVT]

i have a few idea's to play with. But all likelihood, its going to wait till i get back in October

[ONE_LO_SVT]

so question for you guys, I have a chance to get a a really good deal on some new/barely used Bonspeed Sweeps, however it will be a 20/22 combo 22x10 with a 6.5" backspace ( would they even work for the rear? and 20x8.5 for the fronts. What you guys think worth it. it will solve alot of issues i'm having with the front as far as the brakebooster and the 1-2" my front is from laying frame.

[gotair19]

hey truck is getting there looking really good whens it going to be ready for some sound? we just got movie in to a bigger shop alot of room for your truck ;)

[ONE_LO_SVT]

unfortunately, with me going away for the summer, the interior is waiting till i get back in October.

[Pugsley]

Ok but why does it have to wait? The truck is not going to the med so make decisions and have it ready to roll when you get back Mmm Kay! I would be pulling my hair out of my beard if I had to wait so long!

[ONE_LO_SVT]

yeah, but i change my mind so much, and to tell a interior guy what i want over the phone and email without actually showing him, let alone trying to choose colors would be so much harder. What should i do about my wheels though...i think i may do the 20/22

[christian]

those bonspeeds would be pretty wicked IMO

[toyota91]

i think a little more photochoppin is in order

[ONE_LO_SVT]

i really need to do 22's all around, if the guy is wiilling to sell just the 22's, then i'll buy em and just get 2 new 22's. We'll see though. I love those rims though. and i suck with photoshop.

[gotair19]

unfortunately, with me going away for the summer, the interior is waiting till i get back in October.

ok cool thats cool

[shakedown067]

Sweet ride. I've always dug the lightnings. Even the first gens.

So here's a little photoshop action with the wheels your looking at. Approximately 20's up front and 22's on the rear (assuming you have 22's now).
http://gwatdesigns.com/truck/ftsforum/one_lo_SVT-PS.jpg

[rolla711]

i like your old ones but it also depends on what you paint it

[ONE_LO_SVT]

thanks shakedown

do you mind doing one more chop for me, these in 22's all around
