Yeah. I gave them the go ahead 2 weeks ago. As of Friday, they were buyin parts and grinding the crank. Still no eta on when it will be complete though. The lack of communication between me and the guy who has my car has been quite frustrating. He says he only knows as much as Nelson Competition tells him. He says they are crazy slow, but well worth the wait.

What do you guys think of these? 19"/20" Modulare M15 in all black with brand new Nitto Invos. That's a killer price, considering the wheels alone are over $6k.

Well, here's a quick little story about my car. I texted Lee Saunders (one of the fastest Vipers in the world...look him up on youtube) once my motor seized. He recommended 2 people: Chris McKee and Chris Nelson. That's who built his motor and many of his other cars.

My car was trailered to Chris McKee on July 30th. At some point, my motor was taken to Chris Nelson .: Nelson Competition, Inc. - 727.321.5756 :.. I was finally given a quote on about 3 weeks ago and the go ahead to do an OEM rebuild was given just over 2 weeks ago....aftermarket rod/main bearings, grinding the crank, APR hardware, all new gaskets, etc. I've been asking for an ETA since I was given the quote, but am still in the dark. I skipped the middle man and called Chris Nelson today, but didn't get a call back yet.

Since I decided to do an OEM rebuild and not a full race motor for $14k+ (not including fuel accessores or tuning:eek:), I had a bit extra that I budgeted for. I've had aftermarket wheels on every car I've owned since I turned 16. The Viper will continue the trend:tup:




Payment sent!

Woohoo! Finally! Chris Nelson just called me. Heads are complete and assembled. Block has been machined and washed. It pretty much just needs assembly...ETA the motor will be ready by the end of next week.
