Randy D Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 (edited) Hi Folkks, Ran across this Viper in a mopar mag and found some info on the web. It is based in England and began racing in 2006. Info states that the car was built to "Pro Mod" standards with a full tube frame but raced in Top Sportsman or Super ET. Phot credit to "EuroDragster.com" Discussion only... .

Randy D Posted September 11, 2011 Author Posted September 11, 2011 Going with Revell's 2000 Viper kit Specs on the 1:1 car call out a 112" wheelbase, the Viper stock is about 98" ? Will extend the nose for most of that , maybe a couple of inches in front of the rear wheels. Need to bump up the rear fenders of course.
Randy D Posted September 11, 2011 Author Posted September 11, 2011 Start of a chassis .. The real car has a Ray Braton built 604 ci hemi , 5 stage drysump system and no nitrious . Using a Revell 426 hemi block, will change some things like adding a remote water pump so I can model an exposed timing gear and chain, saw this on a Dave S build in the 'Big Boys' section and thought it was really cool. Some ref. pics, all from commercial sites...
Randy D Posted September 11, 2011 Author Posted September 11, 2011 Need some small cleated belts, saw what Shane did in his Surfers Drag car build and used .010 stock and Tamiya tape...

Dragracer Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 The engine is looking great Randy!. I've seen pictures of I believe it's Billy Harper who is (was) running a Viper in Pro-Mod here in the states, it was a year or so ago I saw the pics. Hope to see more soon!
Romell R Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 Randy you never seem to stop amazing me! I only hope I never have to put something on a table next to one of your works of art.
