AMT reissue. The box says it's a 1994, but the non-airbag steering wheel says it's a 1993, so I'm going with that. The Budnik wheels, tires, and steering wheel are from the custom AMT 1967 Impala. I added a multifunction stalk and gear selector to the steering column. The engine was converted to look like a Clevor (Windsor block with Cleveland heads) with AMT NASCAR Thunderbird heads and valve covers. The custom intake comes with the Lightning kit. The truck is lowered a bit and painted with Testors White Lightning. The Ford oval on the tailgate and F-150 fender badges are from Rays Kits Decals.

Wow, I love it! It's nice to see another color. Everyone wants to do red or black on these.

I almost painted it Grabber Orange since I had no intention of keeping it factory stock anyway, but using a color called White Lightning on a Lightning was just irresistible.

Nice build. I used to own a 94 lightning and i can tell you firsthand that truck COULD NOT pass up a gas station. I think my truck got somewhere around 10/12 mpg.
