Dodge Viper GTS coupe
Started this kit alittle whiel ago. Took a while to get the body right, all things considered this is a very poor quality kit. THe body had to be puttied, sanded, sanded again and then finally sanded. Panel lines were widended and so forth...
ALso started working on the engine, the engine is a piece of art in real life (although still a crappy kit) and decided to add some wiring, sensors, carbon fiber airbox, some proper decals by "Last Deatil" company. They have all the proper oil, battery and underhood decals as well as proper stripes. The color is going to be gunmetal mettalic with white stripes. WHeels are currently undecided, but I like the looks of some seriously wide rubber in the back. The exhaust is custom metal tubbing, enlarged to 85mm tips. will keep updates coming, please comment! here are the pics:       Please comment!

Dude, I hope it turns out like Paul Mumford's car. That car and that guy were awesome.
And stomped the hell out of some Skyline's and Supra's for the Ultimate Street Car Challenge top spot a few years back. So sad that he passed on.

Re: Dodge Viper GTS coupe
Thanks Antonio! Yes, the car will be metallic gunmetal color with white stripes. There will be a few custom touches like the rims, brakes and performance exuast as well as a relatively new interior, but otherwise I am not goin to mess with the shape of the car.

Re: Dodge Viper GTS coupe
The exhaust tailpipes look awesome. Love the engine, and the wheels will look great with the colour you've chosen.
I'll look forward to seeing this progress!
