[Craig 201 MPH]

I just finished making this car for a board member, thought everyone would like a look...

Putting one of these together is quite the process taking about 2 weeks to complete requires both an RT/10 and GTS to cut up to make 1 car as the facia and hood are needed to complete the look.

Too bad it isn't a red GTS....with black stripes!!!

Seriously....good job!!

 

[carguy07]

Very cool! Did that start out as a GenI and you added the GenII wheels and front end? Makes me want to get a hard top for mine.

 

[Craig 201 MPH]

Yep. I had to cut off the roof and facia of the GTS. Then the hood just bolts onto the facia. The sidesills are filled with bondo then shaped.

Very nice job. I love the car.

Very nice job. I love the car. How much did you charge for that?

 

[Craig 201 MPH]

Around $100 depending on what the person wants done. The costs of putting one together without what I charge to put it together are around $60.

Sounds good. A sapphire one would look pretty good. Think you could do that one? Maybe with Cognac Interior?

I currently have one of those in the works for someone. Sapphire with cognac wouldn't be a problem at all.

This will work out great as I am just about to order paint right from Mopar.

We can hammer out the details through email.

lack of expensive as hell paint booth! It's something I'd do if I ever hit the lottery. Just build a big shop at my house and play in it all day Each car takes about 10 hours of my time but I enjoy it.

Why don't ya move down here and help my wife?????? You could play with hot-rods all week long, 52 weeks a year!!!!!!!!

p.s. don't need expensive paint booth, built mine myself for about 4k. Sold a Road Runner to do it and bought the car back about 3 1/2 years later.

 

[DodgeViper01]

Ok I will shoot you over an e mail

Very nice Craig!
I have never had the patience, or artistic skills needed to paint, airbrush, etc. both my brothers are gifted in that area also. Makes me really appreciate that type of skill.

If you're in Wisconsin I'd be moving NORTH!

It's cold enough here as it is!

o.k. ,,,, west then

 

[CitySnake]

Looks like crap. What idiot would want a miniature model if he had a real Viper anyway? BIG waste of time!

 

[AJT]

Kind of harsh, I have a minature of every sports car I have owned. Craig it looks great!

Andy

 

[Craig 201 MPH]

Citysnake is just joking. I'm making him a sapphire blue RT as well.

Thanks for the kind words Andy!

 

[Jay Herbert]

Nice, very similar to my "never ending story full scale RT/10". I purchased a GTS fasia, and am installing a NACA duct too, except I bought a pair of oval Jag hood louvres to go on the sides of the hood instead of the square GTS louvres.

I built a mock up like this too.. pewter metallic with black stripes though. $100 is a good price, I spent hours and hours stripping the (red) paint, filing low qaulity casting flash and parting lines off, and finally priming and painting.

Can you do one like my '96 GTS? It has a [******] wing, Autoform front slpitter and roof scoop. I'm fairly talented in this area myself but don't know what material to use to form these parts. Any suggestions?

Bob K

 

[Craig 201 MPH]

It seems imagestation doesn't like me linking to them. I am in the process of getting a web site set up but in the meantime I will repost the pics....



well I tried and they won't come up! I will try something else.

 

[Craig 201 MPH]

Sometimes these load, sometimes not. Hit refresh a few times. It has to do with Image Station hosting. If you cut and past the last three into the "address" window of your browser, they seem to work OK:

Hi Bob,

Got your email and responded.

As for your 96, that would take quite a bit of custom work that even I'm not sure if I would be able to recreate. For molding special body pieces I just use bondo beleive it or not. It bonds very well to the die cast and when prepared properly accepts the paint just as well as the metal does. The wing could likely be made out of thin sheet metal or something but it would be very tricky.

 

[Mike_W]

Great job man. Looks superb.

Hey Craig.

Nice job on the car. Have you made some mods "under the hood"?? The Bburago Vipers aren't really exact in engine details. Would be nice, if you could take some more pics of it then.


Someone asked for a few bodyparts. Of course that's possible.
