Well...after many months...the car is almost whole again. Body shop still trying to work out some kinks here & there, but overall...the car takes on a whole new demeanor. The rear & the hood just looks bad ass :headbang:

Looking good. I'm curious to know how well the body shop did on the fit of the panels. It's hard to tell with these shots.

Yes, the hood and rear look great! ;)

Nice job. Can't wait to see the finished shots.

The shop was having the time of their life with the rear fitments. He told me the rear tub is different from the coupe & convt, so they were having to modify quite a bit to make all the panels align. Not exactly plug & play. I think I can still hear them cursing my name :D

I sure hope so :crazy2: Any longer & I will probably forget how to drive a stick ;)

Is that your shop? The car Looks great!

No...it's Richie Collision of Houston. They do mostly vettes, so I had to spice it up for them a bit with my viper.

How well did the new nose line up? Did they have to do much prep work to get it to fit, etc??

Whoa...where do I begin with the nose. The HENN bumper did not align too well. It was actually wider than the factory, so they had to trim a lot back. But I love the look, so small price to pay (not literally speaking :( )

thanks! Really like that bumper! I had heard it wasn't a simple bolt on. Your car looks great!
