mrmike Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 Shane, that is a sharp looking SVT Lightning! I got the body and chassis together and installed the front and rear bumpers. I cut off the airbox and added a scratch-built open element air filter. All that's left to do is add the stripes, door mirrors, and do any touchups. She is almost done. More to come...

Wheels and tires are from the Revell '99 F150 SVT Lightning. Stripes are from the Revell 2010 Ford Mustang GT. I would like to thank all those who took the time to view and to comment on my WIP.

1972coronet Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 How-ever did I miss this the first time around ?? Nice work on the resurrection ! I love these early 90's AMT Ford F-150's . I bought one back in circa 1993 ; I painted it British Racing Green with tan interior ( complete with black 'rubber' floor cover , just like a XL model would've had ) . One of the nicest kits out there ! Got it in storage some-where ... I've always preferred the 1st Gen "Lightening" over the '97 & later versions . It just looks more appropriate to me in a square body than in a rounded body ; and the 351 Windsor is a better engine vs the 4.6 / 5.4 , in my opinion . Weren't some models equipped with a Rootes SuperCharger ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
