This is my Black Lightning project that I started in 2010, sold in 2011 and now continuing the build for the new owner. The idea is to have a race capable street legal prerunner while keeping the stock look of a lightning.
1993 Lightning
full 4130 cage front to rear
tig welded king pin beams cycling 24" of travel
tig welded TT trailing arm 4 link cycling 32" of travel
tig welded Blitzkrieg full floater housing
4.0 king kong shocks on every corner
Autofab front hubs
twisted stitch ts1 seats
wilwood brakes

Great work. Beautiful welds. I really like the front end design, including how you cut the frame rails and tied in the front bumper. Well done. Keeping the stock dash for extra cool points. Welcome to the site!
