1:64 SVT Lightning Restoration

[@DiecastResurrection]

Hello diecasters, It is I. How'd you like my Lightning clean-up, leave a comment. Yes.. yes.. next time bigger decals and cleaner tape lines. Hope you have a great week. 🍺👍🍺 (Edit)

[@gusser2121]

Dude, so bee-ooo-tiful. And I know I'm picking nits but I was hoping you'd put some black on the hood scoops as they blend into the hood with the white paint. Cool!

[@solitairesmith3553]

I love the headlight decals. It really does make the truck look real. I can't wait to see what you can do with other cars. ;)

[@DiagonalCoff33]

very cool, i love a simple one like this in a while. fresh white paint job and some details can look so cool!

[@sexysammij1]

Love the details you've added to this stunner, she is amazing a fav truck for me.

[@MrMikeyt65]

Now that's a diecast I would pay for. Amazing detail and paint job!!

[@Taipan108]

That’s beautiful. The realistic tail and headlights really make a big difference.

[@bottomgear4028]

That rally car has to be my one of my favorite models you've done

[@rudygarcia7981]

That looks AWESOME! Great job 👍🏼. You did this casting justice.

[@abyss5350]

At first I thought ya had a blob of flesh in your hands but after closer inspection it turned out to be a Cadillac in the flesh and the svt lightening turned out way cool

[@travelersdiecastcustoms1511]

Never seen headlite decals. Looks awesome another great job.👍👍👍

[@busterj3209]

The decals look so realistic and awesome 😎 gave this lightning a new and more streamlined look

[@DiecastMediaNetwork]

Love it! Also, thanks for making the decals available. That's mighty kind of you. Another great video, sir.

[@wadehendryx7378]

Beautiful. It couldn't possibly look any better. Take care.

[@GleaMDMK]

I love the Cadillac. One of your best, I'd say.

[@themichaelvortex4784]

One of my fav Fords. Nice work, man. Thanks for all you do.⚡️👍🏼🤘🏼😎

[@fattonysgarage67]

That truck came out stellar!

[@cjdchrissjunkyarddesigns5004]

Looks great. Decals really set it off

[@BulletNoseBetty]

A true work of art! Whatever goal(s) you had for this project--you succeeded.

[@PhantomDragonEternal]

DAMN that's the most realistic model you've made!!

[@nakitana9285]

Just too sweet! I think this is my favorite resurrection yet. Of course I'm partial to anything Ford, particularly F-150, Mustang, or Broncos. Nice job well done!

[@urideamabal]

Does look great, thought about skipping, to the end of the video, but watched the entire video. ✌

[@timothysealey1391]

Thats 1 Real Nice Lightning And I Love The Colour Choice And Thats An Awesome Build!!!!!!!!

[@Boerharms_Manta]

Damn, that lightning cleaned up well! The new details make it look like a modern hotwheels premium car :D

[@michaelrzeszuto9123]

Beautiful work,decals are definitely a must have to have in any collection.

[@joshuaalveno3544]

This is now my favorite car. Men you are really the best...!!!

[@stabbyninja]

Nice job on the decals and even more exceptional that your gonna share them.

[@MidIslandCustomDiecast]

Pretty rad turn out here. Really dig the decal lights. That's something I'll definitely have to try to do more of myself.

[@tonybecker8491]

Decals are definitely a win

[@joeholloway1386]

Nice build, details and paint job 👍🔥

[@NitrousDiecast]

Great looking details! When you were putting the decals on, i was thinking that a license plate would look great too, and i was happy to see you added it!

[@philipmccabe6163]

Best part of my Monday is a new upload!

[@elitetrainerstagteam4131]

I absolutely love your videos. This is what I look forward to everyday! You have motivated me to doing the same! My projects look great now with all of the insight. Keep doing what you are doing. This is going to be huge!

[@solitairesmith3553]

LOVE THE DETAILS!!! It literally looks real

[@Leader460]

Awesome paint,the decals,love it all♥️♥️

[@mikeydluffy2718]

Looking forward to more high detail projects in the future!

[@Gordo101978]

Came out awesome 👏🏼💯🔥

[@oneshotme]

Looks good!! Enjoyed the video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

[@vanthdreadstar8039]

Looks freaking amazing. Awesome job.

[@smilinmenacediecast]

As a fan of this casting, you have done justice to this Matchbox in a clean deco, even better than what Mattel did.

[@neilcummings9939]

that is one sweet build if I ever figure out how to decals I hope they turn out as cool as that. your taping job is awesome the Vents ok square but around the windows... nice

[@PostalTwinkie]

100K incoming! Early congratulations!! Obviously the Emmy Award sound effects are reeling them in. Rightfully so.

[@58Bisc]

Love the idea of decals vs. penning them in. My hands are starting to get a little shaky at this point and the fine details are suffering a bit on my end. Great job!

[@jaillias]

ohh my jimmy!! ive never been so early! love the vids man. lighting also looks awesome.

[@vamosaltemacongabrielmende3965]

Love those decals

[@fordfandiecast]

Love that Lightning. Been looking for castings of that.

[@doublezero7850]

That turned out fantastic!

[@Classic_Diecast_Garage]

Came out really cool looking your decals looks awesome

[@sabledriver]

One of your best! Great job.

[@harmlesscreationsofthegree1248]

Hell yeah man, makes me wanna blub all over the place. You are getting scary good at what you do, and we love you for it. How about a ‘restomod’ series utilising busted old cars with Andy’s 3D printing to make a new, more betterer car??

[@leegoldeneagle9003]

Very very very sweet 😊 love it very nice work brother so cool 😎 Lee

[@thebaconbrotato]

Tonneau the Ford Lightning, is to love the Ford Lightning.

[@ajeffofalltrades]

This was my dream truck in the 90"s. A buddy had a red 98, so beautiful

[@markrobinson8865]

Great job and looks awesome 👍

[@Michael-aycock]

That was awesome man, keep up the great work ! Love your videos.

[@walshja81]

Man, you just keep getting better.

[@garyslentzii2796]

Love the cleanup in isle F150, the Caddi could be Jimmy's weaner mobile, stay safe, wear a _____.

[@adamyoung2740]

Looks a lot better with the decal lights

[@PenguinOldTimeRadio]

Always love the resurrections...and I definitely like the decal headlights and grill! Excellent!

[@shaunfelton2046]

So much better now.

[@hugochristiankuttelpalomo4778]

Holy mother those decals are amazing they give more realism yeah!!!! If, some day you decide to sell them on web, im IN, love that white love the whole work congrats.

[@RESTORATIONOFSCRAPMETAL]

great restoration, I liked it👍

[@alkydaklown]

Great work as always

[@TheOldPCTech]

Sweet ! Definitely a lot better than the heavy paint job it came with 😉

[@wholelotazepp]

Nice job on the Lightning

[@zackatron925]

Channel is goated man keep it up! I wish they actually put these model lighting in production, would definitely go broke to get one 😂

[@willgraves5536]

This made me happy!

[@randynovick7972]

Flesh. Limo. - So this one is really nice. Wasn't sure how jazzy the sparkle-white paint was going to look, but it's really very good looking! Thanks!

[@ScrappyDoo1998-]

Limo looks like a hotdog to me😂 still PIMP! I always wanted a white limo with gold flake gold rims and horns on the hood!

[@EranAranAriel]

Decals are a very good idea.. :) I suggest to put them under a clear coat of paint

[@BangAsoursRex]

"You work for harry right?" "Yeah, I just started." "You were just fired!" I thought you were gonna go a different way than stock on this one lol it's still pretty sweet!!

[@themasterlessapprentice1611]

Great job sir!

[@garagedweller7159]

Maybe this sounds weird but the automatic center punch and the scotch bright are my favorite parts. Watching paint bubble is a close second.

[@lennonjames3871]

Nice job brother 🥃👍✌

[@grahammummery5732]

Superb job! Thank you..

[@pojamajuju]

Excellent work as always! Can we please have an extra spin on the rotisserie for the final viewing?

[@Gordo101978]

They made it till 2004 and it was the Heritage Lighting because it was the older body style. In 2004 Ford introduced the new body style for the F-150 which is the one you are holding but that body style was never made as a lightning

[@drivedb7]

Beat me to it. It’s too bad the 11th gens never got a Lightning variant, although I believe Ford offered a certain upgrade package for the 11th gen that dressed them up to look like a Lightning. I remember reading about it in either C&D or MT back in the day.

[@Gordo101978]

@@drivedb7 😆 I believe it was the Roush model. I didn’t have a lightning but I did own an ‘03 Harley Davidson

[@drivedb7]

@@Gordo101978 - Dude those Harley Davidson trucks were niiiiice. I’m going to have to dig up that magazine now haha. I probably still have it.

[@adamjohnson4821]

Looks really good. If i remember correctly that year has the same motor as the 2005 Ford GT. As for the caddy. I like it. I might have gone with a black vinyl top gunmetal and silver. But that is me.

[@Gordo101978]

“It’s a Cadillac, it’s a cream puff” Scarface 😆

[@JohnnAlaniz]

Just going thru some lightning vids and came across yours, building a real replica with my 07 single cab with a coyote swap , so cool that they made some models of the concept truck gunna have to look/pick one up for my self

[@DakGuy05]

More trucks for sure

[@earlware4322]

Fantastic Lighting clean-up Austin! Although I am not usually a fan of white paint jobs on my customs, this looks excellent! Those decals really set it off, I do think the grill might have been better painted, those head/tail lights are uber realistic. Great stuff, thanks for sharing, and keep on keeping on!! P.S. - The caddy still looks pinkish/fleshtone...I'm just saying. M'kay.

[@RelentlessRevolver7]

Dont ever stop doin sound effects

[@iPhone3GS_68]

He unfortunately lost his voice

[@LordOfHunger777]

Perfection!

[@jerrymclean8075]

Sweet!

[@FordmanCustomsandDesigns]

looks 100x better I have that same truck and it doesn't have the detail or the glossy look like the wheel swap as well fine piece of work

[@SteeveohRising]

If you paint your masking and exposed area with a thin layer of clear before the color coat... no runs below the tape!

[@jimmysuperduty1484]

Sweet, i had no idea this existed either

[@pjamesqm]

Love the decals.. will you be making the decals you did in the past available too? you do great work I loved the 442 police.

[@Cobra_29_With_Echo]

7:33 did you just try to get the exhaust ports "off" if you know what I mean???

[@2H80vids]

Are the days of silver headlights numbered? I hope so!! 👍👌😁 The headlights look great but the tail-lights are perfect. It should be interesting to see how many folks download a set. I'm sure you should make a small charge for the downloads but making them available free of charge keeps things really simple. Also means that youngsters without credit cards can get hold of them easily - nice gesture.👍

[@amd6570]

Nice 👍🏼

[@brandonhailey2242]

I would luv to have one n super cab painted n gold tanish color to match my truck

[@injairgun]

It looks fantastic! Where is the link for the decals? That's one item that is sorely missing in the 1.64th world, Detail decals! Loved those head and tail lights!

[@amilcarmoncada1801]

Estupenda renovación realizada a esta camioneta Ford Lightning 2005, respetos y saludos desde Venezuela. 👍💯🤜🔥🤛💯🙏💯

Nice work! Was that paint a pearlcoat? It had a bit of shimmer in it.

Cool!

I wonder if a set of lightyears from the Cars movie will be too big on that body
