    Private Equity Firm may purchase Chrysler...

    A huge part of DCJ's current problems can be related to one person, who has departed to work for a Mercedes Dealership in NY. the inventory build (including the over production of Vipers) can be 100% laid at his feet. It would be awful if DCX would sell DCJ to a private equity firm because of...

    Met Father Viper, Roy H. Sjoberg

    Pretty neat story. Roy is fantastic.... He toured me through the Snakepit in the back or the Jeep Technical Center just after the Viper paced Indy. Gave me a prototype hood emblem during the visit which sits front and center in my display case :) He is always fun to talk with, chatted...

    Gotham City Viper

    I've run out of room for vipers... but saw a different one at WalMart yesterday. A five pack of Hot Wheels, "Gotham City" it included an all "flat black" Gen III Coupe. Pretty neat looking.

    SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES

    This car is absolutely spectacular in person, the pearl white paint (a Harley Davidson color by the way) is perfect. The unpainted/cleared carbon fiber is very complimentary to the pearl, and the car does not look "black and white" in person. But the coolest part? Those stacks, they are...

    Sill Corrosion Repair

    I'll certainly look for the Mar-Hyde stripper for the second sill. I've found that a simple trick to make most chemical strippers work better is to rough up the paint with heavy grit sand paper before application. I did this for the back half of the sill and it made a huge difference...

    Sill Corrosion Repair

    Since Dan say's he no longer does them, guess that is taken care of..... back to the topic :) Sorry, just cannot see this being done this way by any bodyshop, just to much labor, they'd have to send it off to be CO2 blasted, or dip-stripped to be cost effective. I already have over six hours...

    New Upcoming Viper Owner - Intro and Paranoid Security Questions

    Pretty neat to be "expecting" eh? That would sure make for a bumpy ride.... A simple thing would be to use a battery disconnect switch to the starter. No power to starter, no start. Have only heard of one or two Vipers stolen as long as I've been hanging around here. Both were left in sort...

    Sill Corrosion Repair

    A few more pictures. Inside of the sill where the heat shield was holding moisture: The corrresponding hole toward the exhaust exit: and SIX more holes on outside, not visible as they were in the black paint: Total hole count in this sill = fourteen! Before I started, thought there...

    ** New to the site ** i have some Questions please

    Few more Gen I/II items to be aware of: 1) Gen I Corrosion on side sills (you'll see paint "bubbles") 2) Gen I Headlight switch overheated - look under the dash for discolored (or worse) melted connector on the back of the headlight switch 3) Gen I/II Power steering pump pully and mounting...

    ** New to the site ** i have some Questions please

    In general Viper's are easy to work on because they are disc brake push-rod engined cars. Exotic in performance, but not technology (until the 600 HP Gen IV engine arrives later this year) Only dif from your vette is fuel injection is a bit more modern, and you'll need to get a few metric tools...

    Sill Corrosion Repair

    After I finally got in the hang of it (been a while since I've done this :) ), the paint is coming off pretty good now, so I'll be going the chemical stripping direction. You are right, it is very soft, I was surprised it was not work hardened more, and plenty thick to weld on. Here is a...

    power window retrofit to 96 rt/10

    Mr. Bells list is pretty spot on: "exerpted" You will need a set of complete doors from a 1997-2002 RT/10. Remember the seat belt location is different. I use a Simpson 5 point harness through my seat, so I do not use the newer or older belts. You will need the window/door seal (very...

    Sill Corrosion Repair

    You are lucky, the ones I'm working on are also badly corroded at many rivit points and where the lower screws hold it to the car, they had to have some salt water on them at some point. If you did not remove the insulation, do. Much to my surpize, there were many places behind the insulation...

    Sill Corrosion Repair

    Thought I'd take some pictures of the process I'm going through to repair some corrosion damaged Gen I side sills. The two sills were off a '95 yellow RT/10. Both exibit typical galvanic corrosion, and are going to need to be completely stripped and have some patches welded in. They will even...

    Who else has one of these framed photos?

    Very nice, it is a Photographic print (on Kodak paper), right? I've got one :) That is the car sitting on the rotating show stand that was at the autoshows in 1989. Got mine from Dodge Public Relations in '89.
