  • Its time to get the exterior of the lightning back together and boy did I kick it off with a BANG. Completely custom headlights, restored grilles, and much more to create the PERFECT 2nd gen lightning front end. Much more to come! Loving this truck!

    At 27:48 Thank you for being considerate of people in cars by putting the correct headlights on your SVT truck.. I say that in all seriousness ... I could not tell you how many times I have been in a blind curve and passed someone with unfocused headlight beams refracting everywhere.. They wash out your headlights and blind you for a couple of seconds.. When you're traveling 45-50 mph in a blind curve and you're hit with a wall of blinding light and can't see for a couple of seconds, that's a scary feeling

    That's looking sweet man 🤙🏻 you're really doing this lightning right, everything just like I'd go for
    I did a similar retrofit to the headlights of my Alfa Romeo GT. Same black inside, same high beam signal from the factory wiring. Looks great, amazing light output.
    Pain to get to the right adjustment though

    Last time i came this early, i didn't get a call back😐 sweet transformation. I retrofitted some projectors into my 00 Honda CBR929. The projector came from the headlights of a bus! I put HID kits in each one. They were so bright that ppl were adjusting their mirrors in the day at noon! 💪

      Yea it’s been a dream truck of mine for quite some time now. Mainly keeping it stock except some minor upgrades. Highly debating adding the Cervinis hood to it. I feel it will give it a lot more character. I did do hangars/shackles to lower the rear. They sit up so high from the factory.

    Well done Chris!
    97 Lariat Supercab. I also did a 2000 Lincoln Navigator console on the upper and lower. There was nothing on the upper so I had to engineer mounting which was not hard at all. I did that a few years ago and it came out awesome.
    Headlights are on the agenda. Projection headlights are what I want to do as well. Looking at Morrimoto retro into a one piece housing for both the turn and headlight assembly. That will be an engineering feet as well.

    I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one that has OCD when it comes to their vehicles and garage! When I detail my truck it includes the door jams and the motor compartment and I always blow my garage out then atleast once a week I spray it down, soap it up and squeegee the place out. What people don’t know is that what ever they track in on the bottom of their shoes either ends up on my carpet downstairs or my hardwood stair tread’s going up stairs! Drives me nuts!

I have never personally used the trim coat but it seems to make a big difference on the cars he works on.
