Lightning has Struck!! Team Strucks Ford SVT Lightning

I love the show and don't miss a one. Been DVRing from the get go!!

Wanted to submit for the show a few years back but a family emergency forced me to shy away. Now that all the dust has settled my awesome wife got tired of hearing me say,” I would kill to do something like that” she called my bluff and said well then go for it.

In short. A group of friends and I have been modding Lightnings for years now and with our Daily trucks builds finished we want them we have tackled a new project!!.
