V's Bar is completely done, the truck passed NHRA Certification with flying colors, the interior is back in, the motors going in this week, and he should have it back in two weeks

Ya I know Jim, poor guy has had 3 Birthdays without his truck, and gone through 2 (or is it 3 now) different tow vehicles that have never had the chance to flat bed it.

In the end it's kinda like going through a dirvorce I guess, nothing gets done the first few years, then one day the lawyer finally decides it's time and has his para-legal type it up....

We all know it takes a long time to do such a build but unfortunately his sat for dam near 2 years before it was ever touched so in this case it was a lot longer than usual


HOWEVER FEAR NOT MY FRIEND, HE IS GOING AND HE WILL BE DRIVING A LIGHTNING

I'm glad he's getting to go, the poor guy needed to get behind the wheel of a L again
Lets just hope SOON it'll be his

Either way it's great to see it FINALLY coming together, and I'm glad they documented the entire build from start to finish....

Hell JDM even got Vids of his Bars being certified

Trucks come a long way from


TO THIS

Check it out, they did the DS Exhaust Cut Out, Bed Cover Mod, and it looks like a Show Truck Again
