Good to see it being finished! Please ad more photos under glass:-)

Hehe! Its a cool var for sure!! thanks! The hade part is to get a good spring rate so it will compress easily but be just enough to push it outward when decompressed! I have made so it should be fully compressed when the car is on wheels. Thanks I will keep at it! thanks! Yes it for sure is an impressive kit!

Thanks! Yes they are! As well as the firewall to the trunk! ?

Got Done some chassi work.

Made some progress with headers on LH side.

Thanks!

It’s just below yours in the topic listing ?

Nice, I am also building this one little different though ? will be following!

Made some changes to the base engine. I won’t use the original intake so I used plastic strip to make the inside of the cylinder heads. Also used the 3d printed valley pan. made my second intake cut a bit better so it retained more height which suits the tall truck body well.

Got me som printed parts from a forum member to get me going on these. Since it’s a “street” car I will be needing the AC and alternator so I could not place the turbos where the kit made them to go so I will be needing to make different headers from solder. Intake got the charge cooler removed to have a chance to stuff it underneath the stock hood, seems good so far! Thanks @Ghost_33for helping out!

Bought some 3D printed parts for my builds.. here is a quick mock-up of the intake and planed placement for the turbos. These turbos won’t be used I think there will be an other set. this intake looks so good so I will use this instead of my own thought out piece! And thanks @Ghost_33for hooking me up!

Nice progress and that chassi is nice!

Nice Kombi! Thats what you call a Volvo since they are Swedish;-) had one of those, not the T5R but it had the body kit.

Looks epic. I have been looking at that engine and turbo kit and can’t understand why the piping is made like that. Seems like the pipes are routing the exhaust too high. Here is a pic of an original engine. Turbos are mounted in an other manner. I would probably tried to work with the header or have an other header that comes more conventional from bellow and put the down pipe alongside the valve covers. Makes a better looking setup. Or like this: But that intake and engine otherwise is so good looking!

Incredible work on that one! Can’t imagine it being a plastic model car at any point!

Great job! And a beautiful build! Did you have any fitment issues with the dash when installing the body to the chassi? Read an other members build of the us kit and he had allot of problems with that area.

To bad it does not work out. I should guess that scales are not the issue there but the layout. Viper have such a long hood and short cabin which makes any conversion hard. I have 4 different chassi conversions at the table which one is a C5R in to a Silverado. And it definitely comes with its unique issues. please look it up here on the forum to get an idea. I an other thing would be for you to use a nascar chassis, maby a Scamp chassi would fit your plans? And then try with the viper engine again when the frame is different.

Nice build!

Nice progress!

Sweet build m8! That color is nice!

Beautiful build!

Man what a beautiful build! Great work!!

Incredible as always!

Stunning!
