GTS rear end on a RT-10?

[TheLongPedal]

I was wondering if anyone has done a GTS rear conversion on an RT10? I know the rears are pretty different and there would be some fab work involved, but i think it would look really good on a roadster.

I've been talking to Steve at autoform on doing the conversion, since he did a partial conversion on the "speedster" that he built.

Anyone else know of another conversion?

Heres a picture of Steve's speedster.

that looks pretty nice. You have any other pictures?

I like the back the best. The Split pillar is pretty cool looking too. Personally, I would've left the front end stock.

i think in any other color, id say WOW its beautiful.. im just not a white viper kinda guy.

looks like a lot of hard work

its kind of a GEN 1,2,3

 

[TheLongPedal]

Agreed. I feel like white hides the lines of the Viper, and the lnes make the car so beautiful to look at. I really want the integrated spoiler.

Streight back shot looks awesome.

Other than that it looks like a kit car.

I know that car. Almost bought it a while back. It is an autoform conversion. I think it is a 2000 model with a 1996 Gen I engine in it. One of a kind for sure.

I have an extra GTS rear clip if you need

I just hurled on the keyboard.

Pretty obvious why only one was made.

Sorry.I think thats so so cheesy.

I too love the GTS rear, and always wondered what an RT/10 would look like with it. That vehicle is really a bad example of what I imagined. Manny, Moe and Jack come to mind.

What is all included with the clip?

BTW, personally I dont think the conversion was done correctly, and if I do decide to tackle this project its going to be done the right way and I'm going to use the whole rear quarters not just "mold" on the wing.

The front end will stay completely stock, MAYBE a U.S. Exotics hood. I'm not sure yet.

Just trying to get my ducks in a row before I try to tackle such a big project.

I have a complete with roof, susp,and frame. Its all there just how much do you want?

 

[SylvanSRT]

this car and i believe Manny's are both AutoForm designs and built

Really just looking for the roof, quarters and the taillight cover.

Make the rear look like that and leave the front and everything else the same as it is stock on the RT/10 and it would look awesome.

I'd also like to see this car in yellow..

I'm not feeling it....

I liked the straight on rear shot. I'm not a fan of the rest of the car. It definitely looks 'kit car-ish' and loses the lines that make the Viper so attractive. Should be an interesting project though.

Agreed... this is the only picture that looks good; the others do resemble a "kit-car-ish" look and look awful

I will separate what ever you want. I have the roof, Quarters, and tail light cover. You may want the rear glass to?

Pretty sure this is the only portion im going to be using when doing the conversion. I really want to keep it a roadster and have no intentions on putting a roof on it (unless its removable).

There is going to be a alot of molding going on, but I'm extremely advanced with body work and fiberglass so it won't be that bad.

What are you looking to get for the taillight cover, roof portion and quarters?

 

[TheLongPedal]

This would be a whole hell of a lot easier if I owned both an rt and a gts, I had browsing pictures online, because I can never get a proper scale of the vehicle. I need measurements.

Awful pretty much describes it.

- It ought to be illegal !

I'd love to see the results of your project. Please keep us up to date with pics.

The looks of the RT/10 rear is the reason I would never get one. I'd love to see one with the GTS rear clip installed.

 

[TheLongPedal]

This probably isn't going be a project I start on until next winter, unless I find some time to do it before then. I just had a little baby boy!

So when things calm down a bit I'm going to set out and tackle this thing.

And I agree with you about the looks of the RT rear end, but to me it being a roadster is a little more fun. Why not have the best of both worlds?

I will absolutely keep everyone updated in the progress.

Just have to see the specifics of how I'm going to do this, and any information on the GTS that people could round up for me would be awesome.

top of the "wing" from ground
outside edge of the taillight to the middle of the license plate
highest point in the middle of the quarter to ground
etc etc.

Thanks for the support guys, I promise you this is going to be done by a perfectionist and when it's done Daimler would be proud.
