    OldTimer's Custom 2001 Lightning

    Its time. Vinnie, Stan, and a few others know I've been on the fence for a year. Knowing that... I still haven't stopped modding this truck, but before I put the ad up on CL, I figured put it here where many know me and the truck. Its been a great ride since 2006 when I got it... and to this...

    Designed a Shroud Label for 2015 GT 5.0L

    Mike Riccardi chased me down and asked me if I could make him a Lightning-like shroud label for his 2015 GT. I had no clue, but they've got a perfect spot.

    Anybody remember an article about putting Shelby take off brakes in a Lightning?

    This had to be 5-6 years back I think it was in one of the Ford performance magazines, it was an article showing that a brake improvement could be made using Shelby take offs. Apparently Shelby owners upgrade to Brembo, or other similar brands, and sell off their brakes at reasonable prices...

    WTB: Lipped Idler(s) to be used with Cog setup

    Need one (1) black DMR smooth lipped idler, or... Three (3) polished billet smooth lipped idlers like those Chickenwings sold.

    FS: METCO Polished Billet Idler Bracket - Reduced To $100/Shipped

    Just dropped my price $20. This is the cheapest way to ensure minimal belt slip, especially if you're using a 2.76" or 2.80" upper pulley. About a third more belt wrap than stock. Also easy to install, works with stock 90mm or aftermarket idlers of 90mm or 100mm. Pictures below explain it...

    War Against Clutter! Lets see your engine bays!

    I'm looking to see the best of the best when it comes to eliminating engine bay clutter with all the hoses and wires. Over the years I've seen some nice examples but failed to save the pictorials. There's plenty of new Gen2 owners who would love to get some advice on seeing more engine and less...

    Looking for a typical punch list of Gen1 Mods

    I'm roughing out a Gen1 Punchlist Banner, and since I'd only be guessing... what are the typical mods that most Gen1 owners want to do aside from a built engine, CAI, Long Bars, Exhaust, etc.... what next? Are there like 30 mods? Mike

    Thanks for the Picture Help!

    Just wanted to thank Ralph, Jody, and the other Gen1 owners for helping make the Gen1 Garage Banner a pretty awesome compilation of Gen1 Trucks. And thanks to the other folks who helped pick the trucks. The Group Buy is pretty much set, and should be shipping in 10-14 days or less. Mike

    Lightning/Harley GTG - Orange, Connecticut

    I figured that a little advanced planning here might help and make this a big turnout. Every Fall, the Pyramid Shriners runs a HUGE car show down in Orange, CT at the Fairgrounds. Last year, because of cloudy weather they had something like 700 cars actually show, but 2008 was more typical for...
