    Window Regulator: Failure: Plastic Block(Shuttle) Breakes: Replacements?

    Has anyone tried the replacements that are showing up? They call them slide clips. My concern is that the replacement may not last either and at $55 a pop from one vendor, that's no bargain. If I had the mill, I carve one out of aluminum.

    I'm not hip, Daddy-O, but what's a "Dropout?"

    I know the GM LS engines are "poured" into the K-member. But Viper with 2 old-school frame rails and no crossmembers in the way - do people take them out the bottom ??? (It never occurred to even consider that. Engines that go out the bottom are simply not worth working on in my book.)

    I'm not hip, Daddy-O, but what's a "Dropout?"

    I know, its frustrating. Just do an eBay search for "dropout engine" and there are 78 out there right now and most are Viper, then Corvette, but all pretty much high end engines. I also found the "Complete Dropout" variant of the term too. While I have no information at all, I'm thinking a...

    I'm not hip, Daddy-O, but what's a "Dropout?"

    What does it have to do with Vipers? Well it turns out that most all the complete Viper engines on eBay are "dropout" engines. I don't like the sound of the word - it never meant anything good in the past and I don't expect it to mean anything good in the future. I would never buy a "dropout...

    It must be some kind of New Age VEGAN lingo since non of my buddies in the business have heard about it. Could it be "what" you Drop In?

    too fat to fit

    Also read a number of places that weight is not the solution. First it varies with height - the proper weight that is. But it is optimum waste size which is independent of height (!) For men it is <35 and women <30. Studies found that people with good BMI actually had larger wastes and more...

    too fat to fit

    Oh Brother, I, myself , am on the edge of too much girth! I've plotted my weight since I was a teenager using all available data and at 60, the plot is a straight line from 145 to 305. Anyhow, for comparison purposes, waist size really determines if you fit or not. I maxed out at 50" but...

    Battery Cover Panel Screw Sizes

    Ah, a push pin! Never thought of that. I found what looked like a 1/4" self tapping machine screw with a flange head and it seemed to tap just fine. There was a lot of mismatch in mine and I hope the screw does not crack that tab on the battery panel. Maybe when I'm in NAPA I'll find a nice...

    Battery Cover Panel Screw Sizes

    I'm missing what would probably be the most important screw of all: the one that is upper, inboard transverse screw that fastens both the battery cover and the inner fender to the frame. It is missing - in fact, it almost looks like it was never installed since there is barely any registration...

    What is top NA HP these days?

    Does Fat Albert have a website? I found reference to a www.fatalbertsmotorsports.com but that doesn't appear to be it.

    What is top NA HP these days?

    Thanks for the input. Reason I asked was I know a phenomenal engine builder from the Chevy world that seriously should be building NASCAR engines. If I could make it happen, I'd like to get him to turn his attention to Viper because there are still people who are willing to pay for something...

    I guess Gen2 and Gen3 should be separated. I'll bet its closing in on 800HP. Thanks Tom

    Chucks video is shipped!

    I got mine about a week ago. However, the thought that they pulled Chuck's dealership is insane. At VOI7, at the banquet, that German "Hans" guy seemed like a real jerk. The hand writing was on the wall probably back then. I think there were a lot of execs who were more concerned about where...

    The Official Chuck Tator's Viper World DVD is here!

    I really don't appreciate being strung along when it was obvious there was going to be a long delay in shipment. If someone would have told me it will take a few months, I would had said "Fine" and went about my business never giving the DVD another thought. Then when it would eventually show...

    The shipment on Wednesday, is that the shipment to Chuck for Final Approval? or the beginning of shipments to people who ordered them? Thanks Tom

    What features/options should next Gen Viper have?

    I simply cannot believe Dry Sump was not on the list. This is unconscionable, blasphemous, and against the Gods of War. This is further heightened by the fact that Viper deserves 600 rwhp and in my book an absolute necessity - in fact, it is a sweet spot in street driven cars related to...

    Is The Viper An ANTI-CHICK MAGNET?

    Actually, the Viper is so over the top, its almost uncool to meet a girl for the first time in it. I guess its like the automotive equivalent of putting out on the first date. And boy oh boy, does the Viper put out (!)

    Is The Viper An ANTI-CHICK MAGNET?

    Teenage Boys????? In FL and PA I'd have to categorically say any child old enough to go to school - but yes mostly boys. Just try following a school bus for about 30 seconds and then pass it slowly - the bus will about flip on its side. Just sit 1000' from a grade school at a red light and...

    Need Clever Way to mask back of hood for repaint.

    Oh, and there are louvers (argh!) I've done this old school w/masking tape and the autobody paper rolls with mask applied to edges and it takes hours to do. I was thinking of other products such as shelf lining vinyl w/adhesive back. This might be OK for large areas but would need special...
