Thanks, and thanks to everyone for the compliments. I am very happy with the car. I have another complete set of headlights, tail lights etc. that I had "painted" and hope to get them installed today. Stiil trying to get the exhaust and Quaiffe installed. Keeps raining here... can't/won't drive in the rain

The car is lowered with Eibachs and spring caps... (1.5 - 2 inches)

Story time

When I was shopping, a Viper wasn't high on my list as much because I hadn't seen one in years as anything else. But after driving just about everything out there, a friend told me that I had to drive a Viper before I made a decision. I found one of those solid slate coupes at a very small dealership in Manassas, VA, only a few miles from my home.

The dealership owner just about had a cow when I drove off the lot and 20 miles later, some of them on twisty back roads, I knew I was going to buy a Viper.

A Canadian dealer here in Quebec still has a brand new '06 Slate coupe in the showroom, solid color, probably the last one available? If anyone is interested it's at Premier Chrysler,contact Denis Gosselin 450-348 7366

For anyone interested, I found a 2006 Slate coupe (non-striped) advertised in Nor-Ca. Has 8,400 mi. Showroom Classics - (408) 293-8080

No slate just a wrecked 03 i'm putting back together. I'm interested in your blue body panels. How much are you wanting? Michael and I have spoken about them but he was still waiting on the. I'm thinking about a coupe conversion since i'm doing a frame change.

Mike is a great guy and has helped me immensely. He's fair and doesn't try to get rich on each sale. This industry needs more vendors like him. I hope he doesn't read this. His head might swell Again, your car is beautiful. Enjoy it.

If you need parts, Mike N. can find or get just about anything you would need for your Viper. If you need coupe body parts, all my blue coupe body panels were just shipped to him from AP Engineering and are available. Do you have a "slate" car also?

Please explain the painting of the tail lights. What did you use to smoke them?
Thanks
