slammedi'am Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Looking good man..... The gen 2 is the opposite color combo of mine lol Sorry for the big pic lol
mrmike Posted July 24, 2012 Author 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...
mrmike Posted July 26, 2012 Author Posted July 26, 2012 Thanks Shane! I have finished my AMT '94 F150 Lightning. Paint is Tamiya Italian Red with a gray interior. 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.
Olskoolrodder Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 WOW,MAN,AWESOME,Mike!!! Did I mention this is my favoite gen Lightning (F150,for that matter)? Looking Saweet!!! :D

Davewilly Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Nice! I still have mine new in the box....I need to get building some of my stuff.
mrmike Posted August 4, 2012 Author Posted August 4, 2012 Thanks guys! This Lightning came out better than I had expected and I am really happy with it. I'm taking the Lightning with me to the Classic Plastic Model Club meeting tomorrow to see what the club members think of it.
slusher Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Excellent rebuild mike. that some relly good work..
1972coronet Posted September 10, 2012 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 ?
