    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. After confidence, I'd take it for thousand mile road-trip. That or place it back in the museum and let it keep...

    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.

    Will this effect value?

    I agree with you Plumb. Toys are meant to be played with.

    Will this effect value?

    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!!

    My turn for headgaskets.!...gen 1

    It's weird seeing this thread pop up again after ten years! I'm not even sure if I'm still driving the same car!! Needless to say, my head gasket swap worked out just fine.

    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...

    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...?

    Inside of GTS floor wet after hard downpour ---

    Really???? I've been asking/talking about leaks for years. Yes, gen1, (sometimes gen2) leak. These are sunny day cars but.... Just stay dry; It's the best advise.

    Gen 1 Tops and Windows

    This site is dead after the club split. Perhaps it'll be my mission to search out pics of all the different gen 1 (aftermarket)options..... OK, I'm on it.

    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...

    Gen 1 Tops and Windows

    I suggest we start by listing top/ window combination... Or post pics, I hope the forum will tell you who made them. My '94 has a Mopar top/ Vipermania windows.

    Gen 1 Tops and Windows

    Let's talk a bit about gen 1 covers..... I've had several. They all leak but you early car owners know this (if you ever drive your car). I'd really like to see a solid thread about keeping the water out, top designs, window designs etc....... Please, let's hear about your experiences....

    1995 viper rt/10 a/c freon

    134a .... A/C work requires a professional. If you were close I'd help you with it... Take it to the shop! If you have no cold at all.... it needs to be properly fixed not just recharged. Cheers

    1994 rt bucking at about 2000 to 3000 rpm

    Not enough info when purchasing a molested car... Sounds like a tuning/fuel issue. What cam is in it? Does it pop and burble, maybe a backfire now and then through the exhaust when it 'bucks' on decell?? --- That may be normal with a no-cat car (even stock).... -Cheers
