Clay Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 I plan on getting back into it soon, my first project will be Ranger Lightning Bolt, mixing an F150 Lightning and a Ranger Splash. Stay Tuned!!
tuffone20 Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 Yes that does sounds interesting and I'll be watching for this one!
Clay Posted March 17, 2010 Author Posted March 17, 2010 This is my inspiration. Can anyone tell me if these wheels are available?
JamesW Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 (edited) I think the closest to those would actually be the rims from the Revell Lightning. If you need a set, let me know. Edited March 17, 2010 by grimreaper
Eric Stone Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 Those look like the later Lightning wheels, which I don't think I've ever seen in scale. The Revell '99 Lightning kit has different wheels in it.
Alyn Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 That is a great looking trunk. Is that a combo of the Ranger with the Lightning engine? The color looks pretty close to Tamiya TS-50 Mica Blue.

Thanks, I will be using the lightning kit with this build. That is a great looking trunk. Is that a combo of the Ranger with the Lightning engine? The color looks pretty close to Tamiya TS-50 Mica Blue. I think this was a concept that they did. Its the only truck that I have been able to find. I think I might go with GTS Blue on it.
diymirage Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 Can anyone tell me if these wheels are available? i think you would come pretty close with the rims from a snap tite concept camaro actually
JamesW Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 i think you would come pretty close with the rims from a snap tite concept camaro actually Good call. I hadn't thought about that until you said it, but I think you're right.
disabled modeler Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 Cant hardly wait to see this one when done, sounds really cool...super muscle mini truck?
hemithunder Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 (edited) Clay, the rims on the AMT '39 Wagon Rod look pretty close to those from the pic.. 'course my eyes aint what they were. http://i838.photobucket.com/albums/zz304/Hemithunder/DSCF2614.jpg Edited March 17, 2010 by hemithunder
meaneyme Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 Can't wait to see more of your work man, always an inspiration.
Clay Posted March 23, 2010 Author Posted March 23, 2010 I got the Lightning in the mail today, just waiting on the ranger now. I will try to get the engine done soon. Later,
Clay Posted March 27, 2010 Author Posted March 27, 2010 Sorry to keep you guys waiting, I got the Ranger in today. I would like to try to make it an extended cab with another parts truck. any help would be greatly appreciated. I may do another kit to get back into it...
Mark R Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 That looks a lot like a Ranger I almost baught now. It was called a "Thunderbolt". It was just mild mods to the exterior and interior....but yours should be so much better with using Lightning parts instead !!
RodneyBad Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 A mini Lightning. I like the concept. Call it the Bolt of lightning:D They didn't make a Ford Ranger Extra cab? I'm shocked.
Clay Posted April 4, 2010 Author Posted April 4, 2010 I am shocked with it too, I wanted to do an extended cab, but they didnt make a model of one.
