Completion of The Fast & Furious Lightning!

Daryl and Alex show off the build so far and we catch up on what's been happening with this Fast and Furious replica Ford Lightning. We pick up some parts at APEX'i and our pal Rodney applies the 'Racer's Edge' decals like frosting on a cake.
Thanks to @slinginpartsforharry for the replica decals and thanks to Rodney for applying the decals perfectly. @Rod_knee

Wow amazing how something so small turned out to be iconic because of one wonderful person. RIP Paul Walker we all miss an love you brother!

[@JustDriven]

Barely in the original movies but so iconic, You are right.

[@302KingCobra]

In all fairness. It’s an SVT product built under the great John Coletti. The fastest production truck for 5 straight years. Imo, that’s what makes it so iconic. Paul walker was cool, but he didn’t build it. All he did was scrape the front of it up. And since no one else has mentioned it….The turn signal mirrors. 👍nice truck!

[@lasvegasguy12]

My 2001 Red Lightning is in the body shop as we speak getting repainted. I can't wait to get it back in about 3 to 4 weeks. I have owned my truck for 18 years and I will never part with it. I did exactly what you are doing. Bought all new plastics, tonneau cover, new chrome wheels that were original to the 2001. I can't wait to see it all reassembled. I didn't even think about that decal but it's a nice touch. Fast and the Furious is the reason I bought the truck. I saw it in the movie and I just had to own one.

[@JustDriven]

We love the Lighting. It ticks a lot of boxes for us. Hopefully you'll have your truck back and you'll get to fall in love all over again!

[@TCadillacM]

Hes just slinging parts for harry!

[@JustDriven]

Was he? Or was he just fired?

[@kostasviper]

Always considered Bryan's Lightning to be a sweet truck. Glad to see you guys did nice justice to it.

[@JustDriven]

Brian's Lightning was a sweet truck! We tried to make sure this refresh breathed the life back into this iconic Ford.

It's really a fun truck! Yah, we even swapped as much as we could. Even the '99 windshield.

[@hardcoreep]

Nice

[@JustDriven]

Thanks

[@cjcox1480]

Usually us Lightning guys will shim the cab to correct the body kit misalignment that is factory on all trucks. Never thought about adding plastic instead of 10cent washers…

[@JustDriven]

Yah we prefer to take the long way around!

[@kensnedegar5925]

I got the 2001 Ford Lightning red just like yours it's a Johnny lightning quite modified long tube headers 3in exhaust 411 rear end. Quick would be a nice Fast and Furious truck it is mine in my head

[@JustDriven]

Nice! Your Lightning sounds tough!

[@jeremywillis7407]

Such a awesome build! When can we see this truck at Toretto's Market?

I'm sure we could swing that!

[@acura9162]

Guys. I think you forgot the most important part of the replica. The boxes in the back as Brian is bringing the Supra parts to Dom’s garage.

[@JustDriven]

We thought about replicating that also, but then we wouldn't have any room for the Charger engine when we transport it back and forth to the builder.

[@travishinton4755]

i NEED TO FIND THOSE WHEELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@JustDriven]

We had a few issues finding them. It wasn't as easy as we had hoped but we finally got a decent set then had them cleaned up at our favorite wheel shop.

[@122sparDa]

I wouldn't mind seeing a fast and furious edition sticker somewhere on the truck ..

[@JustDriven]

What kind of sticker did you have in mind?

[@122sparDa]

A small decal sticker on the back of the tail gate or under the lighting badges with the lighting font that could say F&F Edition Or The Fast & Furious Edition. Just an idea

[@JustDriven]

Oooo....Yah not a bad idea!

[@idontlikecops1]

The front bumper needs work. Many lightnings have that crease under the fog light area. Especially 99 and 00s

[@JustDriven]

Not sure what you mean. We don't have any complaints about the bumpers.

[@ryangamache8049]

What did they use to shine the plastics on the truck

[@dalbertorodriguez779]

Amazing job . Where do you get the rear bed rail caps? Both left and right side . Source ? Thanks

[@JustDriven]

The bed rail caps were refinished in house. We couldn't find any in time for us to complete the build so we removed the OE ones and refinished them to look brand new.

[@dalbertorodriguez779]

@@JustDriven How would someone be able to get those 2 parts? Would you guys happen to know ? Also for the refinishing process . Basically take out scuff marks or impurities(if any) and make them black again or how ? Thank you .

[@JustDriven]

We contacted Ford dealers all over the country trying to find a set with no luck. Ours weren't in terrible shape so we were fortunate. We cleaned them up and stripped the impurities out off of them. Then we used a trim paint to bring them back up to a new look. Hope this helps.

[@Foxbodygarage_satx]

What were the dimensions of that racers edge decal? Amazing truck! Love it

[@JustDriven]

Sorry, we don't have this information on hand. If you reach out to @slinginpartsforharry on IG he could get you set up with a set.

[@transformer01able]

I always thought the racers edge decal was on both sides

[@JustDriven]

It is on both sides. If you watch the section with Rodney you'll see him applying the graphics to both the passenger and the driver side doors.

[@Schultzy1992]

Was that licence plate on the Lightning was the original licence plate from the film?

[@JustDriven]

No it was not.

[@negativeindustrial]

11:39 I never noticed the speed lines coming off “The Racer’s Edge” logo in all hundred or so times I watched that damn movie. That’s great attention to detail! 7:39 Cleaning your dog’s eye boogers with your bare hands?!? 🤮 I’m just kidding, I love my dogs like that, too! 😝 Edit: WTH Does Apex’i make that needs a box that large? I thought I was well familiar with their catalog. Now that I’m finally building my Supra TT, I need to check out their latest offerings!

[@JustDriven]

The decals had to be perfect. It's why we reached out to @slinginpartsforharry to cook us up the best. The little nugget is Eggzy. Sometimes the eye boogers need to come off and we usually wipe them on Alex anyway! So it's fine. They make a few things with boxes that big! Check out their site and guess "what's in the box?!"

[@isaacsrandomvideos667]

Is that a 2000GTR in the background?

[@JustDriven]

Ohh the Hako? Its been doing a good job collecting dust, but that's gonna change soon!

[@renerst5413]

Hi where can I get that decal

[@JustDriven]

They don't typically work well once we peel it off. 😂 But if you contact @Slinginpartsforharry on IG he should be able to get you a set.

[@jonsimpson8005]

Fantastic. At 11:23 what are the little buttons under the drivers door handle? Is that a type of alarm immobiliser? (Maybe common in USA, I'm in UK and have never seen that). Thanks.

[@JustDriven]

That's exactly what it is. Nice catch. Ford and several other manufacturers used small key code pads as a security measure. Between us we couldn't think of a single person we've met he used them!

[@rw3826]

@@JustDriven This is a door code to unlock the doors. Simple as that :). They were not introduced on the lightnings until 2002. Amazing restoration.

[@gemininosaga]

I tell you. On my 01 lightning that side skirt piece doesn’t match on any of both sides. On one is just like you had it on yours but on the other is way higher. That reminds me of the episode of top gear where they reviewed the lightning and said Americans build cars like ass. Well they didn’t say it that way but were complaining about the huge gaps on the interior and how nothing matched.

[@JustDriven]

That really bothered us and just had to get fixed.

How about a Supra update video for Christ’s sake

[@JustDriven]

Hey Alan! We appreciate your enthusiasm for the Supra build, it's one of MANY builds we have. Were you able to catch the update last Wednesday? It explained where the car has been. What's your favorite part of the build so far?

[@alankowalski8781]

@@JustDriven I love the whole thing. I just wish there was more of a follow along with the build. More detailed. It’s an amazing build, that I wish were more or better documented showing the work that goes into it. That car may arguably be one of the most if not the most important or iconic cars in movie culture of all time, and that’s coming from. a traditional hot rod guy. I don’t think I caught the Supra update video from last week, maybe i did. I’ll go back and check

[@JustDriven]

You are right about how iconic the Supra is. We understand the love and admiration everyone has for the Supra, we feel the same way about it. Here at the shop we have roughly 12 builds going on (no exaggeration). We try and document as much as we can to share with everyone the details. We unfortunately cannot capture it all. Sorry if we can't get it all to show up in the videos. We are trying!

[@alankowalski8781]

@@JustDriven well just think about this. I have been an automotive super fan for a long time. I follow a lot of builders in depth. You guys have some of the best, top notch, attention to detail that I have ever seen. I’m regards to KZbin, instagram, TikTok. If you guys ramped the video production and social media team up, and pumped out more videos following the builds, from a financial standpoint, it would give even more revenue to your company, but also increase your popularity as a shop because the more videos you pump out, the more people would know about you

[@JustDriven]

All a strong possibility. We just have to stop buying cars first.
