2002 Ford SVT Lightning on Air Suspension

HA HA Kind of self explanatory

Dan Davis

I've always been into custom cars and trucks since before i could drive. I've owned and built numerous customs, but this is the first build to this extent. I purchased the lightning bone stock 4 1/2 years ago from the local Ford dealer. It started, as many do, with a few mods to this, and a few mods to that. Its on its 3rd set of custom wheels ( second set of one-off billets) and its 4th supercharger. I've had several custom stereo set-ups, two different custom paint schemes and countless other swapped and upgraded custom parts.

Classic truck or 1965 Riviera

Bought bone stock and built by me to what it is now. It's a real Lightning (always get asked that) and i've horrified many Ford purists when i tell them in fact, yes its real, and yes, i actually cut it up :)

My wife for her patience and support, my brother-in-law Marc Gaines, my friends Jacob Freeman, Nick Langley, Dale Nickel, Ben Kluge, and everyone else that helped.

Dropped and shaved 02 Dodge Ram, Toyota Altezza, Fully Customized 350Z, '41 Chevy pickup on S10 frame, 1962 Impala, 1998 Roush Nascar F150, and about a dozen S10's
