Awesome truck, man. Congrats on the wife, dog, and extended family thing, too!

lightningDan · 08-02-2006, 06:49 AM

aww lol look at peanut, second picture is great with him in the lightning interior lol

my dogs the same way, shes great but she can always be over protective which is never a bad thing

Matt I hope to god my truck is done before the dragway is closed, but now I have a tailer and f350, you tell me when and i'll tow ya up!

FFW is right around the cornor, even if you dont race you should enter it in the car show, I know that truck would take 1st place!

It was cool meeting you too, your a heck of a guy!

Congrats on being picked. Maybe someday maybe my truck will get picked. I doubt it, since it was one the slowest ugliest gen1s around. Once I am done with my project, it should be quite a bit faster.

Well you can always count on me for giving you crap about working on the truck and not enjoying it. I will someday get down there to see it. Just never have time to get down to see you buddy.

Congrats again buddy, and keep up the good work.

fordfreak95 · 08-02-2006, 09:12 PM

You guys are all great man. You are amking me want to buy more parts!! LOL!!
Dan buddy. I want to do Fun Ford weekend bad but........I can only do Saturday. I have apointments that Friday the 18th. The 19th is pretty free and the 20th is the the big yearly family clam boil that Lisa's family has. Have you ever run the 1320??
Mike man............I have been driving the truck actually. I put over 200 miles on it since the cam and intake swap. It is actually running nice. It is loud and sucks up gas from my twitchy right foot but.........I think it is time for another project?? Ya...Maybe??? LOL!! Just kiddin man.......put the stick down.
Thanks again guys!!

Whoaho man......I didn't even think you posted here man!!! The install was not a cake walk because of how low my truck is. But, like I said in one of my emails........I wil make it fit. And I did. I will snap a few PICs and send them your way. The shocks are totally different looking. I had to cut off the hard metal dust guards on both of them. They were comming in contact with that brace braket that attaches to the bed pannels. I then hit them with semi-gloss black paint. I also put in some new red poly shock bushings too. And I have oil inpregnated bronze bushings in work also so I made up some one peice units to slide those 1/2" bolts through. It all came together real nice in the end. Thanks again man!!!

lightningDan · 08-02-2006, 10:44 PM

Yeah, I have raced at new england, and visit e-town once a summer for the NHRA nationals

I took my lightning down new england 3 times, first year bone stock, and full weight was 15.60's

second year lost 300lbs went 15.30's

thrid year ran with my "dans custom intake" made of dry-er vent lol 15.20

went down the 1320 with my buddys capri, it normally runs 10.50s ( his best was 10.08 ) I got it to run 12.30's lol

Its allot of fun just going and helping your friends out, I am towing up my dads friend hes got a 90 mustang lx with some nitrous work done, hoping to break 11s

my dads friend Joe, has a pro-stock car that hes bringing up to run the pro-5.0 class that will be intresting....

Truck looks killer. Your dog looks like a boxer. I have two boxer's.

fordfreak95 · 08-05-2006, 10:08 PM

Thanks again guys.
Ya, I get the boxer thing a lot with the dog. People say he looks like a mini boxer or a mini Bull mastiff. He is the same color of a Bullmastiff.
Well Dan buddy.........Maybe YOU can take my truck down the 1320? LOL!!
