April '05 - Darren's 2002 Lightning

Lightning Fest 2004 in Topeka Kansas.

Darren's 2002 Lightning is build #4126
Since Darren started showing the truck just 2 years ago (Halo'03 was the first show) he's managed to strike 14 first place and 2 specialty awards: outstanding contemporary vehicle for the entire waco autorama and the truckin' best truck award.
If it wasn't for 'WYLDMAN'(Chuck Shelton) he most likely wouldn't have bought a lightning and if it wasn't for Darren's wife Lynn, it wouldn't be a custom truck. It originaly was supposed to be a daily driver (instead of a weekly driver) and is soon to be featured in truck builder magazine.
