I'm glad he liked it. I would've wanted stock. But to each their own

[@gueroburban4989]

You feel me I love lightnings stock!!

[@deionnpcfit]

They do clean builds but yah a completely stock build was needed on this icon. When they said replaced the engine i was crushed.

[@daboonies8603]

@@deionnpcfit I think they rebuilt they motor, but I may misheard lol wouldn't be the first time

[@hidros1461]

Stock looks 10x better

[@LiveLife91]

I may be wrong on this, so feel free to Correct me if I'm wrong but, That Truck Start up Sounded Weak! It sounded like a V6 ... And they could've atleast Stepped on the Gas so we could hear the Iconic Whipple sound.

@@Blue_Flame_Raptor yea I didn't like the lightning bolt. Lightnings are badass trucks.

Chip Foose !!FAIL!! The only thing he got right on this 2nd Gen was the big brake upgrade and lowered stance, everything else looks chezzeball and rushed put together.

[@vk849]

Yes

*My Dad and I loved this show. We had dreams of having my 1976 Camaro 'Overhauled' by Overhaulin; he passed away in 2007 and I promised to keep our 1976 Camaro running till I join him.* @camaronado

[@gemininosaga]

I also fantasize of having him do my dads 76 dodge w100 adventurer sport but was afraid that Foose would ruin it because we love it original.

[@CARLOSAFTRMTH2020]

Not a fan of the bottom “lightning bolt” would’ve preferred the original emblems

[@edwinbmackin]

Would of been better with a ford lightning emblem design with the kaytsak lettering.

[@ActualVital]

Plot twist: He was crying because they ruined the value of the originality.

[@jamesmeegan4755]

He did not look like he liked it all.

[@alanz3024]

Right it looks trashy now

[@tambosnipes1652]

It's a chip foose it increases it

[@gemininosaga]

Now he can’t drive it and since being designed by Foose it’ll increase its value but I also like them stock and probably be disappointed as well.

[@stephenalexander2427]

Yup

[@brianmullins5957]

Silver was available in late 2000 models. I bought a 2001 silver Lightning brand new & still have it. 🙂

[@pedrorodrigueziii4859]

The Lightning is cool as is, but not so cool or rare that having one like this hurts. Anyone who says it hurts the value is nuts. Having a 1 of 1, especially a Chip Foose 1 of 1 exponentially increases the value of that vehicle. He's an iconic designer known the world over with some of the best taste in aesthetics ever seen.

[@simonblanco4864]

Love Foose, he actually works on his designs.

[@JoseAguilar-xb6kz]

What happened to the original rims and bench I’ll gladly buy em 😂

[@idontlikecops1]

Silver wasn't available till the 04 year.... I'm seeing this while sitting on my silver 2000 lightning lol

[@rosettastoned226]

Another Lightning ruined.

[@mikeydemeno9186]

The narrator needs to do more research silver came out in 2000, you could also get colors like true blue in 02 and then dsg and sonic blue in 03-04

[@jeffreycastillo170]

Exactly, for some the DSG and Sonic Blue are the most sought after.

[@mikeydemeno9186]

@@jeffreycastillo170 definitely i have a silver one now but I’m always on the lookout for a nice true/ sonic blue

[@LiveLife91]

I have a 2003 Sonic Blue Ford Lightning ⚡ 80K Miles, Still Going Strong 💪🏾

[@fatrichie8600]

So many boomers in the comments. Truck is now worth more than it ever could have because it was modded by Chip Foose on TV. Motor and transmission rebuilt. Who wants a stock lightning anyways? They look like v6 f150s.

[@LiveLife91]

I like how they 1.) Paint Pin Stripes on the Truck 2.) Take the Lightning/SVT Badges Off 3.) Take the Original SVT Wheels off 4.) Paint "Kaytsak" in place of Lightning and SVT INSTEAD OF PLACING BADGES THAT SAY "KAYTSAK" 5.) Take that Wide Plastic Band from the Rear Window and replaced it with SheetMetal to make it look less like a Lightning (Sarcasm of Course)

[@Aqua350Lt1]

They ruined it the wheels are horrible

[@freedomsrt8]

I like the look of the original seats more but great job on the truck

[@max8231997]

You know he cried when he got home 😂 just ruined that lightning ⚡️

[@Theupstateidiots]

The inaccuracy of everything they just said about lightnings made me cringe. Also the fact that this truck was worth alot more before this overhaul.

[@seventytwo.7288]

Right? Three colors for the first 5 years, silver being added until 2004, when it was added in its second year of production.

[@Jimmyxsx]

Lightnings are garbage anyways, slow and overrated.

[@dusty_five_2]

I overhauled my own. Seems like a nice guy and what your shop did was kind. But from the looks of what the motor used to look like and from him saying its been 17 years since the motor looks that clean goes to show that he needs to take better care of it. Restore it back to original mint condition and having a badge instead of decal would be better in my opinion.

[@chadouellette790]

Silver was an option in 2000 as well
