This is my starting point to design a custom sub woofer enclosure. Ahhhhh...gotta love duct tape.

NO MORE 3D COMPUTER RENDERINGS :(

I just got word that the fella I hired to create all the awesome 3D computer renderings no longer has time to do them for me. Apparently he is too busy at his day job and unable to continue my project.

I hope your getting a refund

Renderings
 

You should talk to Carter Hickman or Kris Horton. They both do this type of renderings. Good luck and I also hope your get a refund from your previous guy.....

Thanks for the referrals.

I am disappointed because I was really looking forward to seeing the finished product in the 3D world. Plus I absolutely think the pics are kick a$$. Oh well.

I'm supposed to be getting a refund very soon.

But some things I cannot get back are the 100's and 100's of pictures, sketches and detailed information that I sent to him to aid in the project.

In these pictures I have removed most of the orginal paint in and around the engine bay area. I wasn't happy with the OEM finish because of how much weld spatter was on the frame.

I used some good ol' aluminum foil to wrap pieces that I didn't want painted. This is the easiest and quickest way to cover parts that you don't want painted.

Top coat has been applied. I used rocker panel coating that will provide a very durable finish. I am very happy with the finished product!!

The reason I haven't made much progress on my Viper is because I've spent most of my time putting together a deal to purchase a super car!!! I've spent a great deal of time dreaming and planning this 'other' project!

As soon as I complete the purchase of this super car, I will let all of ya know what it is. Plus I will be modifying it. :D Stay tuned.

Some people have asked me, "Why would you repaint a frame that has no damage or wear?" My answer is simple, I am a perfectionist and love the details. I really enjoy trying to make something better.

Another perfectionist is a guy called Shadowman. He is the owner of Discovery Automotive and takes pride in his work. I am absolutely blown away by the care he takes with all his customers cars when they are in his shop. If you want to see a bunch of cool pictures I highly recommend viewing his "Current Projects" on his website http://www.discovery-automotive.com/portal/

Any way, I am doing exactly what Shadowman is doing, modifying an all ready high performance sports car to the extreme! Yeeeeehhhhhhaaaaaaaa :D

Hope all enjoy the build :thumbsup:

is the super car a ford gt?

Yeeeeeehhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaa :yes:

I want to update members about why my project has been going so sloooow. It's because of two things going on in my life right now.

1st - I am in the process of purchasing a 2006 Ford GT (Tungsten) and have been busy over the past months putting together a deal. I will be modifying this car and creating a new project thread here on Pro-Touring.

Here is a teaser pic of what the car looks like.

2nd - My wife just gave birth to a bouncing baby girl! I now have two beautiful girls!

Congratulations:thumbsup:

Thanks :cheers:

MY APOLOGIES

It appears that my picture links (website coding) from Cardomain have changed over the course of my build. So the pics have the Big 'X' :willy:

My future posts should be okay as long as Cardomain does not change something.

Here is a link to my build on Cardomain for all the pics that are no longer viewable on this thread http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2842608

Well it has been a long time since I have posted any progress on my build. Even though I haven't been turning a wrench I am still planning the build and purchasing parts.

Here is the latest:

no stereo system - I have decided that this car is going to be way too loud to listen to a stereo...so there is no point in installing one. Plus it's bascially a race car...and race cars don't have stereo systems.

new rims - After installing the Forgeline rims onto my Viper I decided that the center spoke color was to dark and didn't work with the blue. I just purchased a set of 2008 SRT 5 spoke rims and will be slightly modifying them for my car.

OEM insturment gauges - I sent my OEM Viper gauges to Auto Instruments to have them install a custom gauge face. Last week they informed me that the OEM gauge needles cannot be removed from the gauge face. So the OEM gauges cannot have a custom gauge face installed.

custom instrument gauges - My plan is to purchase a set of custom instrument gauges from Speedhut that will be customized to my specifications.

suspension - I will be purchasing a set of Aldan adjustable shocks
brakes - still trying to determine which rotor will work best with Dave's Big Brake kit. Looks like the best option is Stoptech.

transmission - I will be purchasing a 2008 Tremec 6060 transmission for a 2008 Viper. These transmissions are much stronger than a T56 and can be modified to install in a Gen. II Viper.

Stay tuned for progress!

cars looking awesome. I love the genII gts coupes. Are you putting on the normal 5 spokes or the H spokes?

My apologies for the late post. I have purchased a set of 2006 SRT 5 spoke rims. :thumbsup: The are absolutely stunning :hail:
