I also want to build a proto-Lightning from a Seventh Gen. 2WD, short bed, drop it 4" or so, 351W, 4 wheel discs.

Something kinda like:


That's pretty, and I'm not even particularly enamored of Ford pick-em-ups.

I found a longer video of this, and he tries to do a flip off the yellow and green thing and gets stuck on his roof immediately after this clip ends.

Also, apparently the band Arctic Monkeys has a song called 'The World's First Ever Monster Truck Front Flip' on their new or upcoming album, and that's what this was.

Oh God, how have I never had this fantasy.
I'm gonna need a minute. And some Tuscon Bronze and Tourmaline Green paint.

Also, a set of '94 lighting bumpers showed up on Craigslist recently. Had to resist the urge. But they'd look so good on my truck.

Goddamn, frankenmotors are some of my favorite things.

That think should live basically forever at 800hp, no? Provided he didn't mess up the oiling somewhere and the block joint doesn't come apart.

I've been reminded that rekall.me exists, it's a repository for all things aesthetic and cyberpunky. It's one huge feed of images and gifs taken from various old cartoons, adverts, design magazines... Feed contains the occasional set of tits if you're scrolling through at work or whatever.

I keep rekall open in a tab to stumble across it every so often. It's a nice bit of mental floss.

There's an entire tuner industry built on overwriting/supplementing that software. Replacing gauges seems trivial in comparison.

The idatalink maestro sort of allows that, it's a magic black box you plug in to interface a head unit with modern wheel controls. The cool thing is it can also hook into odb2 and certain head units (basically all the big names' touchscreen models) will make use of that data to show vehicle performance data on screen.

So all you need to do is make a diy head unit that supports their protocol and uses your custom vintage UI!

With the new generation of multidomain controllers, infotainment systems, and vehicle network architectures, it could actually be possible. Android Automotive, Automotive Grade Linux, and QNX all support using several hypervisors, so you can (and will) have the safety critical warning lights in an ASIL D hypervisor. That way when your hacked together Vector W8-lookalike UI crashes, you can still see that the check engine light is on.
