Is he still doing Viper stuff?

I was wondering if his Viper body stuff is still being made. Reason being, that I am repairing one of his fascias and recently decided to keep it totally stock and unmodified since it might be considered collectible.

I'm sorry, but "******" is infantile in my book.

What is the purpose? Let the new member find out for themselves?

Or have legal actions been taken against this website?

Tom, I see you are close to Pittsburgh Raceway Park (old Keystone Dragstrip).
Do you ever take the car over there?

yeah, I am pretty close. While I had an East Coast and a West Coast Viper (...and Vipers), I sold my new 2000 GTS which was my East Coast car.

My remaining Viper is in Carson City, NV and I want to get the body all done and then start driving cross country a few times to play in the Rocky Mountains. (WHY, OH WHY, won't they have VOI in COLORADO SPRINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!)

'cuz there is NOTHING THAT COMPARE to driving Vipers up STEEP MOUNTAIN PASSES.... where you NEED all the HP you can muster to pass slow traffic!!!!

I swear the coolest thing I ever did in NV was pass 3 tractor trailers and 2 street rods in one swipe. You should have heard my almost totally open exhaust reflecting off those semi trailers!!

Sounds like fun letting the car actually stretch it legs and open up in the mountain air!

Are you only on in PA part of the year? Know of any viper friendly (or should I say knowledgable) shops in the area?

Simms,

As far as PA is concerned, I would have my local cronies work on my Viper. There are a couple of people near Jeannette, that are pretty fussy about stuff like putting an engine in a street rod and detailing the installation. Maybe a body shop or two that will really give you some bang for your buck.

You may not win Pebble Beach but you will be appreciative of the value you get if that is important to you.

When I get back home (I'm in NV now), if you are interested, I could come up with some names.

I've got a friend that builds custom cars to do my paint work, fabrication etc (Jeff's Custom Performance), but I'm really just concerned with alignment issues if I lower the car.

My car is going to Macedo for some tuning in a week, but I wanted to lower it this spring and have someone local align it. I don't trust most of the tire shops around, or the dealer.

"******" had full page ads in the Dupont Registry advertising packages for Lambos, Porsches, and other exoctics. "******" also had a car entered in the tunercar shootout in Car & Driver. I'd say alive and well.

This guy is like "Prince", now known as:
"a group of asterics"

I hope you meant "******", if you didn't mean "******", I'm sorry.

I don't get it, but thanks to this thread I'm also in the Viperalley website. Hope nobody freaks out there if my spelling isn't perfect.
