Re: 96 Viper GTS Venom 550 - making more mods
That's quite a project, and a very nice Viper, but it looks like you have a good list of mods ready. Good luck with everything...keep us posted on the progress!

Re: 96 Viper GTS Venom 550 - making more mods
These are the brakes after I detailed them. I polished the center of the front rotors and painted the center of the rear rotors. I also installed high temp Venom 550 decals on the calipers.

Re: 96 Viper GTS Venom 550 - making more mods
These show the intake manifold during and after powdercoat stripping. The powdercoat was extremely difficult to remove even with industrial air craft paint stripper.

Re: 96 Viper GTS Venom 550 - making more mods
I purchased Gen. III Viper valve covers to install on my Gen. II engine. I'm going to change the valve cover color to match the intake manifold. These show the valve covers before, during and after powdercoat stripping.

Re: 96 Viper GTS Venom 550 - making more mods
In front of the engine is a cross brace that spans the width of the engine compartment to provide support to the upper frame. This support is aluminum and I decided to detail it. The pics show the brace before and after polishing.

Re: 96 Viper GTS Venom 550 - making more mods
I am a stickler for consistency and therefore decided to paint the half shafts silver in color to look somewhat similar to the drive shaft which is aluminum. I also polished the aluminum drive shaft to clean it up. Pics are before and after painting and polishing.

 I am a perfectionist and beleive that the details make all the difference. Some people may ask, "Who will see the driveshafts, etc?" Probably very few but if someone does take a look they will see the consistency. I really enjoy "tweaking" the look of a car...including performance.  Stay tuned. Cheers Jason

Re: 96 Viper GTS Venom 550 - making more mods
These pics are of the transmission cover plate. Black plate is OEM. I had a new aluminum plate fabricated to add some bling.
