I bought it about 6 or so months ago. I bought it pretty built but I'm going to school for collision repair and we got to bring in a project. So I brought in my Lightning for a makeover. It has no rust at all, just had paint chipping from a shitty single stage garage job and shitty early 90s stamping so it was pretty wavy. It has a 408W stroker, AFR 205 heads, custom grind cam, built C6 tranny, and its tubbed with a 4-link.
Here's how it looked the day I brought it into the shop.
And no I didn't actually tow with it, it was a joke with my buddys broken Camaro
First task was to shave the front fuel door since it was taken out for the 4-link
Turned out really well
Then I shaved the antenna
Picked up a 3 inch cowl hood from Cervinis
This is the most recent picture I have, this was a few weeks before Christmas. I'm finishing priming and starting to wetsand this week.
Ill keep you guys posted as it progresses, were only in the shop for a few hours a day so I'll post them as I get stuff done. I plan on going Torch Red from the 03/04 Cobra. Let me know what you all think about it and any ideas on what else I should do cosmetically before it's done! :beer:
