Unfortunatley I'm in need of a body shop that can be trusted to do some repairs to my Viper. I was enjoying a nice ride over the weekend in my viper when i unexpectantly came across an ordinary patio paver in the middle of my lane. The paver was small 4"x8"x2"thick and with no room to move into another lane I decided to drive over it. Poor choice! The paver was laying flat until the inner potion of my left front tire hit it and stood it on end. Just as my footwell was passing over it. This little paver pushed the left side tires right off of the ground and buckled the floorpan under the pedals up so far that when I push the brake in I bottom out on the floor. I can't even open the throttle to max. An inspection underneath the car shows that the floorpan weld has been torn from the frame on both sides. Any help from the locals would be appreciated in finding someone that can fix this and be trusted with a Viper. I have not had to part with this car since I bought it five years ago.:crazy2:

When I had my '96 RT/10, Keene Dodge's body shop in Jarrettsville replaced both of my side sills, and they did a very good job, and took wonderful care of my car while it was in their possession.

Here's one worth considering...Chris was active in Viper Days early on...and, YES, I know that MD is NOT NJ...but still WORTH considering...from another member's ( "JACKED DADDY)"recent post:

"If your looking to have some paint work done or just want to personalize your ride. Chris Collision Viper Specialist in West Orange New Jersey is the place. Chris Barone and his right hand man Louie just simply love VIPERS. There are Viper parts and pictures all over. They just did some great personal touches to my new blue and silver stripe coupe.I gave them an 06 Coupe and they gave me back an 08 coupe. They also body colored some interior and exterior parts and installed a Corsa exhaust.I must admit I was real nervous seeing my Viper apart but WOW they are good. Vipers line up good from the factory but great when they return from Chris. Heres their phone number 973 736-0465. "

Gus - have any close ups of their work on your side sills?

I don't have the car anymore, so I looked through some old pictures, and this is the best one showing the side sill that I could find. Sorry.
