93 Viper - thoughts...
In my opinion..... The car wants to be driven. If your car was mine I'd go through it like a monster starting with fluid swaps. It would get some road time for a few hundred miles.

Hood Gap
Nothing really fits right on a G1.... My advise is to go easy on your modern expectations for early viper. These cars really were throwbacks, almost kit cars. Unless it's really bad, I'd leave it alone.- jdeft1

I don't see the need. If you have and want to spend some $$s to have it done, I doubt it would change the value at all. I think you'd have better fun with it by swapping out the rear gears to a 355. Your car, your toy!!- jdeft1

Touring About: Finding last minute <$50 lodging: Thoughts?
I've done a couple similar low budget road trips from the other direction. (DC-Yellowstone, Grand Canyon etc) You'll have a great time! Stay off the interstates, also, Motel 6 is everywhere but not <$50... Gas station maps are good find! Mom and Pop motels are always a wonder; some are...- jdeft1

Gen 1 Tops and Windows
Is this a one-off? As I recall, Autoform tops follow the A-pillars down and connect with a spring-clip.... Apparently a new design...?- jdeft1

Gen 1 Tops and Windows
^ :2tu: Pics of the different options, the different types of windows and tops. How to tell the difference etc. Autoform is nice but a PIA to store. I'd like this to be a thread showing all the different aftermarket products made for the gen 1 vipers. It seems like every car I see has...- jdeft1
