Ridelow RT/10

[OrecaGTS-R/T]

Hi all, I know that some posters here will know of the airbagged Viper that goes by the name RIDELOW. It used to be painted in the ketchup / mustard combination, anyway I just came across this picture and it appears that it's had a bit of work done to it, similar mods to that of a Ratrod, matte finish, chopped rear pillar and shaved lights / indicators, modified side exhaust etc. I was wondering if anyone has anymore pics of the car or other information? Reminds me of the 1989 concept, especially with that different side exhaust. Thanks in advance.

I saw the car in Salt Lake City at VoI 11. Looked like a Rat Rod, Not my cup of Tea.

[J&R3xV10]

wow, I don't even know what to say about this car. Is there a dolphin on it somewhere?

Is the date April 1st?

 

[OrecaGTS-R/T]

Thanks LifeIsGood, very interesting. Anyone else have pictures? Are those side pipes wrapped?

Good Grief!!!! Well there's no accounting for taste

Not sure what is going on with the seats and engine manifold, must have taken a lot of work but its NOT my taste

Was the car sand blasted? Or just repainted with a brush?

Easy to see what's going on. Leopard, illegal leopard. Lol

 

[plumcrazy]

please shoot it and put it out of its misery

Being a purist, I don't even have words for this!

But, to each his/her own.

...by the way, if you couldn't tell by the pictures...those are mirrors on the hood where the hoodpad usually is.

I would have to agree that it is not to the taste of most, myself included. Having said that, I did take the time to visit with the owner at VOI in Salt Lake City, and he really is a nice genuine car guy. It was interesting hearing the details of the mods, even if they are'nt up my alley.

Yes, the exhaust was wrapped the full length you could see and then appeared to be painted with a flat black BBQ grill type high heat paint.

 

[JohnnyViper]

please end its suffering, that should be against the law

 

[JohnnyViper]

i bet a vette guy owns that car and its a cruel joke towards the viper community

 

[Phun70]

Is this owner, by chance, a ****?

 

[DrumrBoy]

One of a kind for sure.....

 

[CSXT802]

I threw up in my mouth........I would expect something like that on a civic.

 

[viper67wife]

I'm shocked! That no one commented on the rims yet...

 

[QUICKSRT10/SRT8]

that car was in the same car hauler as my car to VOI11

 

[OrecaGTS-R/T]

I like the idea of the car, taking something new and rat-rodding it, just not quite the way I would do it. Love the paint, shaved lights and wrapped exhaust, I even like the rims. I'm not fond of the engine bay inserts or hood mirrors and I don't care for the leopard skin but hey, something different. Very different. To each their own.

 

[JohnnyViper]

i just can believe someone would do a viper like that, why leopard print and mirrors on the inside hood ect....it looked much much better in the picture with the yellow rims IMO but still had me scratching my head "why", some people just dont know when to stop adding crap to their cars, i'm usually very tolerant of things but that viper is just wrong, i do hope the owner is very happy with it, in the end as long as the owner is happy I guess that is all that matters, i think it would be cool to talk with the owner and ask him/her their perspective on the car so I can understand

 

[sdaddy]

I noticed the handicapped mirror tag on the dash. I wonder if it is mental? I have no idea why the inner wraps under the hood over the front wheels? Additional wheel clearance? Lots of work for the end result. Obviously a "I don't care if anyone else likes it" kind of thing.

 

[JohnnyViper]

looking back at the pictures what really puts me off is the leopard print on the engine and interior, without that I think it would not be as upsetting and would look much better

I remember taking photos of that car...this is what it was like in 06'!

I think that kid is letting the air out of the tires. Any idea about the under hood covers. That could actually be interesting depending.

 

[JohnnyViper]

there was a lot of work done to the current car, between 2000-2003 I had a lot of experience customizing car and trucks with air bag set ups so they would lay frame as well as shaving door handles, tailgates, bumpers ect, i appreciate the look of the viper when it had yellow wheels, I also appreciate the work that has been done to it currently with the custom bumper, side sill and fender flares and the work that went into making the wheels tuck butit now look ugly

 

[speedracervr4]

Looks like a kit car to me...to each his own.
