ROCKET62
Has Left the Room!
Well, its been a LONG 4 1/2 months since my wrecked SRT showed up at my door. It's been a long hard project thus far, and after getting the front frame rails straightened out, replacing the inner fenders, the trunk tub, the radiator, oil cooler, power steering cooler, AC condensor, and a number of miscellaneous pieces, I was finally able to fire it up.
While I was optimistic about it starting up - I was shocked when it fired right up, not even a sputter, it fired right up! Even happier that there were no fluid leaks. After a few warm up "Ghetto Laps" around the block, I had to test out the V10 and experienced my first dose of wheel hop. My son and I both have that VIPER SMILE and enjoyed more than one HIGH FIVE!
Now the real fun begins as I start the assembly process of Jeff Lemke's Street Serpent Body Kit. Also will have the hard decision on paint color. I have narrowed it down (at least for the moment) to a dark red candy or copperhead orange with black stripes. Can't wait to post updated pics of the project/
