PROGRESS Ford Lightning *Custom*

After all the work I did on the True Street Cobra, I couldn't leave "well" enough alone on this build. So I cut some parts off:



And then added some parts:







Comments? I also made a bed cover for it, not sure I'll use it...no pics of that one, sorry!

Nice idea with the grille. You going to bling it out?
Looking forward for more progress.

Hell yea, close enuff. Some 18'' or 19'' deep dish chrome would look tight. What color you got in mind?

Excellent job with the grill. This is going to be another great build. The colour blue in the picture looks like the Skylines bayside blue.

That's lookin' good. I have one 80% done, also in blue (non-metallic) right now. Cutting open those grilles is probably the single best thing you can do to improve the exterior. - Mark

I hated the honeycomb grills the '99 Lightnings had. The picture is of a stock '03, and they've had that grill since 2001. My only regret with this model is that it comes with the red taillights, also a 99-only option.

That grill looks badass! How did you make it? Just strips of styrene?
