i might have missed it but what custom hood
GTSjbud
Viper Owner
Time to order a Roe front air redirector to help cooling. Since the facia is off it'd be a piece of cake to instal. I think it's probably a must since you want to go past 200mph and it unloads the air under the nose (removes lift from the front). It's just over $200
Cooling - Roe Racing
It's called a "front facia cooling duct".

The hood is going to be based on the Diamondback design with some cool modifications.

Coool!
It is really smart to be a member of the VCA, just like yourself, before you purchase a Viper. That way you will be very knowledgeable when it comes time to make your Viper purchase. GTSjbud

Hood is off! Getting ready for engine removal.

Is it necessary to remove the heads etc. to pull out the engine? How much does the V10 weight anyway? Keep us posted.
No, it is not necessary to pull the heads in order to remove the engine. I removed the heads and sent them to Greg Good Cylinder Heads for work. Hence the reason they are already gone.

You and I both!
I am already dreaming of my next Viper...not sure what it will be but I am thinking that I would like to get another one.Oh, and I will not be selling this one. I want to be buried in it!

I wish that you were close to me. I would be in that garage with you learning some cool stuff. You are my mentor.
GTSjbud

LOL!!
I've always wanted to be a mentor On a serious note, I really enjoy providing information to others. I am also learning as I go. I am extremely thankfull to all the VCA members who have and are providing me with valuable advice on my build.
Let me know if you need anything.

Sure I will take all the parts you are replacing which should allow me to build an entire GTSLOL!!

Just kidding man, this is great stuff. When it is all done, this should be put in the illustrations guide for a complete build up of a GTS. Keep up the good work. GTSjbud

That cracks me up!
I do have a few items to sell...anyone want a stock hood? Hope you enjoy the progress.

Thought I would post the first piece of rendering received. I can't wait to see the wheels complete! This is just the beginning
**this rendering will be changed to represent 6 lugs instead of 5 lugs.

3D renderings, huh? Can't wait to see those. I'm not sure if you were joking or not, but I would hold onto the stock hood. I wouldn't want to shell out the cash for another one if you decided to go back to it. It's your car though, so my opinion is worth jUUUst about what you had to pay to get it.

Yup, I'm selling my hood. The way I look at the whole thing is that my Viper is a modified car to begin with. Just like the Shelby Mustangs. So I will never bring the car back to original (before Hennessey) modifications. Just my $.02
Yes sir...I have hired a 3D modeling guru to prepare a bunch of awesome renderings of my Viper. Just refer to one of my previous posts in this thread for the detailed information.
