Thanks for your advice everyone!

Hey all, a fellow first generation Ford Lightning owner posted a picture of a specific wheel color myself and other owners have been looking for. He says the picture was taken from "a 2004 RM Diamont Paint Book". However the guy's hand is covering up some info, I'm interested in the number under...

Here's my 10lbs of stuff in a 5lb bag. I had to kick out my welders and welding table because I bought another project truck... SPI items are stored in the metal cabinet to the right :) I am building a new 20x20 "workshop" next door, that should hold all the tools for a while.

I always thought they were useful when trying to buy a car. Last old Mustang I bought would have read ∞ in most places :)

Good for you Barry! Congratulations on building something truly amazing and now I hope you get to enjoy your retirement properly! Sounds and looks like you've left it in more than capable hands with your boys :)

OK that's what I figured, have you compared the price of stainless vs doing mild steel + a coating?

What type of metal are you using? Stainless? Mild steel?

Yes, I feel the same way 100%

1st off I am a hobbyist, so take this for what it's worth (nothing LOL), but I have become a fan of Primeweld. I have a MIG 180 and a TIG 325. They are great and the company has excellent customer service.

Are those metal or plastic fender liners? If plastic did you epoxy those too?

Thanks Chris! I think I am going to 3D print up the mounting bracket and then use a couple dabs of clear RTV just to keep it in place for fitment. Once I get them how I want I'll make them from aluminum. Didn't think about the extra height, great call, I will look to see how hard it would be to...

Hey guys, I picked up a VFN hood for my Lightning. I was under the impression this had some sort of structure in the rear to mount a lightweight hinge, but when I inspected it today there is nothing. I am thinking of bonding a piece of aluminum to it with threaded holes so I can bolt it to the...

What was the metal temp? You've got paint temp and air temp, but what about metal temp? Or did I read that wrong?

This is such truth, a lift and a minisplit in the garage are life changing. So far I am 50% changed LOL, can't wait for a lift!

I'm no pro, but because you seem to be very cost conscious I'd take a couple of things in to consideration. Let's say you pick the cheapest paint, but it has terrible coverage? Now you're spending more. Or, and probably most important, it fails after a couple of years. Again now you're really...

I remember the Mayfest storm in 95. A buddy of mine and his girlfriend were at Mayfest and ran to find cover just in time, he had just bought an ex Highway Patrol Mustang that got absolutely demolished. That was a crazy storm.

What brand rotisserie is that?

Thanks for the answers all, I have some of the Mothers on the way, but I will try this in a small spot that faces the firewall. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XFZTTHJ/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza Also I have a whole box of white scotchbrite that was left over from another project. Is that too...
