Dodge Viper Custom Road Racer

[stewart]

The Kit is Revell's Dodge Viper GTS with a front extended about 1/2 an inch (actual) and a corvette L88 scoop grafted to the hood. I used some dry-transfer decals from a set for Pine Derby cars (they have a lot of really good decals for these cars) for the word on the door. It is painted with Testors Lacquer Blazing Black and Boyd Red from an airbrush. The air filters are made from 1/4 inch round plastic stock grooved with a razor saw. Turbos are made from solder intake was scratchbuilt. Headers were made from .62 solder and collectors from heat shrink tubing. The radiator is from the AMT viper kit (this is Revell's Viper GTS) wheels are from a Revell IMSA mustang kit. Coilovers were made from Pen springs and K&S tubing. Rear wing is made from two wings - the lower part is the spoiler from a Revell '98 Saleen Speedster and the upper part is from the Revell Acura RSX-S kit.

I actually did not use any glue for the front windshield. I don't usually use glue for clear parts because either it takes too long to set up (I have ADD ) or else it is too messy (epoxy- never can get it quite right). This one didn't need any glue in the front and only a little in the back so I took a risk and used CA. Thankfully, it didn't fog.
