wow, ive heard so many stories like this lately. hopefully it ends for you soon, love the viper

The motor was completed Tuesday, May 7th. The motor was picked up by the installer Wednesday, May 8th. I asked for an update last Wednesday, May 15th, and I was told "if all goes well, Monday or Tuesday". Well, I hadn't heard from him, so I asked when I should pick up the car. He said "not sure quite yet", which means he hasn't started it. I asked if it will at least be finished by the end of this week and he said he doesn't know (sounds too familiar since the machine shop wouldn't give me a deadline). So the waiting game continues...


Here is the list of all the mods I can think of that I've bought during the 6+ month downtime (motor failed November 30th):

• Port and polished heads
• Comp cam
• All necessary supporting mods: Manley oversized valves, springs, retainers, etc.
• BBK throttle body

I can't wait to see how the car will look/feel/sound with all the mods installed...it's almost time to enjoy being a Viper owner!

Cant wait to roll out with you soon! Jess has been keeping me updated with facebook during the move. Those calipers made me drool!

How much did it cost to get your calipers powder coated, and are the letters a sticker or did they paint that for you as well?

Heck yeah! Unfortunately, the installer still hasn't given me an update which means he hasn't started it.
I paid just under $400 for the paint. They were at the powdercoater for 2 weeks, which who's have been over $400, but they wouldn't match their powder close enough to the paint. The lettering is vinyl and then he cleared over it.

i can't wait to see this thing done... you'd better be at zdayz next year brotha!

I second this motion! By the way man........start cracking the whip. We need the beast on the road.

Zdayz is always on the calendar. It just sucks the past 2 years haven't been possible. I'm going to try to make a surprise visit this week to drop off my wheels/calipers and check on the progress of the install.

Let me know if you can view this...not sure since it's on my Facebook.
