Sikkens waterbase Autoclear WB and AutoWave
My thoughts were that these paints have already been used for years by the OEM's. In particular, Viper has a paint that is compliant - it is not a hard paint. The result is that debris that leaves a stone chip on a hard, conventional paint merely bounces off Viper. I had a 98 Z28 black...- Tom and Vipers

Non Isocyanate Basecoat systems available???
I'm starting the selection process to pick the basecoat system to refinish my hood and fascia - I'll be matching a DuPont ChromaPremium repaint Viper Black with Viper Red stripes. I will be using an old paint booth that flows from one end to the other - the flow volume is pathetic in my...- Tom and Vipers

Are the Hood Speaker Grills different on the Gen I and II?
Thanks Chuck, Was able to see a stock Viper hood and as I feared, my carbon fiber one has different recesses with totally flat bottoms. I figure I can trim down some stock grills so they sit on a flat surface. Tom- Tom and Vipers

Are the Hood Speaker Grills different on the Gen I and II?
I bought a used set for a Gen II carbon fiber hood and they don't come close to fitting. The grills I bought fit on a highly curged surface - one that drops lower at the aft end of the grill. The hood is a flat surface. Thanks in advance, Tom- Tom and Vipers

Need to look at hood of Gen II near S. Carson City, NV
I'm trying to fit the air intake "strainers" on a carbon fiber hood and they simply won't fit. They appear to need a fairly curved surface to mate properly while the CF hood recesses appear to be basically flat. Is there a difference between Gen I and II strainers? maybe I have the wrong...- Tom and Vipers

A few more sema pics!!!!! Sorry some rice Oh EErrr and Girls.....
Great effort taking and posting these pics. (I usually end up photographing the women after boredom sets in about 2 hours into one of these events.) But, I am pretty much convinced you simply have to get on your knees and get as far away as possible when you photograph babes. That way you get...- Tom and Vipers

Our hopes are coming True 600+ HP Done Deal
Well, for one thing, simply ratioing the Z06 produces: 505{Corvette} * 513{8.4L Viper} / 427{Corvette} = 606 So that should be a starting point.- Tom and Vipers

Z06 smokes Viper 0-60 in 3.4 seconds
Trying to get the best 0-60 with a stick is very tricky business. Road surface and driver ability become the major factors with a really fast car. Didn't the GNX way back do a 3.9 0-60??? and something like "high 13"/100mph quarter mile? This was an automatic. When you start dealing with...- Tom and Vipers

Z06 smokes Viper 0-60 in 3.4 seconds
I like Viper over Corvette, however, these Corvette issues really bug me: Lighter, around 3100+ More Hp/Cu.In. (they have quench, we have.... what?... is there a name for it??? @#(*$&#*) Hp/lb. engine weight is off the scale. Engine is 200-300 lbs lighter. (HaHa, could put LS7 in Viper...- Tom and Vipers

Front Fascia Alignment and other Issues
That's just it. Poor Wayne paid people to work on it and to make a long story short, the hood/fascia gap outside the RHS headlight was almost TWO INCHES!!!!!!! Almost 1/2 of that distortion was due to aft hoodpins that put the hood in longitudinal compression and trapeze lift springs that were...- Tom and Vipers

Front Fascia Alignment and other Issues
Well, I started bolting things down and working thru the fog hole is not bad. The only difficult headlight stud is the inner, forward one that goes to the frame bracket.

Front Fascia Alignment and other Issues
Hemi, Yep I'm making shims. Local ralley car builder gave me some scrap plastic that appears to be exactly what Dodge uses. I had to insert 7/16" additional shims, so my isolators are out of the hold. Since this plastic is thermoplastic, I can heat and bend it, so I bent up a "shim box"...- Tom and Vipers
