Thumbs up My Friends Bad A$$ED Chopped Lightning-new pics page 6

I went to check out my friend Russ C's 2000 Lightning today. He just got it out of the body shop a few weeks ago, and he still has more plans for it.

It has a JDM build long block, it is tucking some sick 23 inch wheels, has a custom hood, custom toneau, custom smoothed roll pan, and is now is a Roadster.

Front view, you can see the custon hood and the chopped top





rear view

Here are some pics of the now topless Lightning



In this pic you can see the little spoiler he molded into the rear of the cab, and the custon toneau


He still has some trim peices he has to install, like on the rear of the door where the stock part is missing. He also plans to put some buckets and a expy console and then some bling parts under the hood.

His future mods include a 6 speed, but that won't happen till next year.

I tell you that without the roof, the exhaust sounds so sweet, and I was amazed how little wind gets into your hair without a top on it. He did a awesome job, the chassis is real tight, no rattles or anything.

WOW! Can you say holy bat truck! A bit too much for me but it sounds like it will turn some heads and probably outrun my truck.
Keep us posted.

You forgot to mention the shaved door handles too. That is one sick looking L. Did you and your buddy cash in some old Wal-Mart stock or something? It seems like both of you have more money than Superman.
